Mitton ElectroNet has a strong protection team with skills in HV, MV, and LV protection design and configuration. Our services are complementary to our substation design services and include:
Conceptual design
Secondary systems specification and design
Fault analysis and modelling
Protection settings and configuration
Protection event investigation
EIPC compliance assessment
Power System Modelling
Modern power systems planning and operations relies on extensive use of power systems analysis tools using the latest models and techniques to ensure the power system is operated and run in the most efficient and reliable manner. Mitton ElectroNet can assist with the following modelling and analysis tasks:
Development of network models using DIgSILENT PowerFactory, ETAP, PSCAD, or MATLAB software
Load-flow and short circuit studies
Generation connection studies
Voltage stability assessment
Conductor / cable sizing
Motor starting studies
Power factor correction assessment
Transformer rating
GIS integration
Transient stability studies
Governor and AVR tuning
Generator EIPC compliance assessment
Scripting and automation using DPL or Python
Arc Flash Hazard Assessment
Arc Flash is electrical hazard caused when an electrical fault occurs. During such a fault, an electrical arc develops which generates a large amount of heat and pressure in a short period of time. The results can be catastrophic for equipment and personnel with the effects to objects and people in close proximity not unlike the effects of conventional explosives. Severe burns, pressure injuries, and in the worst case death could be the result.
The Mitton ElectroNet team is experienced in undertaking arc flash hazard assessment.
Site visit and assessment of accessible locations
Calculation of arc flash hazards according to IEEE1584
Recommendation of mitigation strategies
Automatic generation of reports, printing of labels and creation of signage for fast identification of hazards on site
