In line with its research development activities, Epil, with the support of the Ministry of Energy and in collaboration with the Energy Research Institute, has successfully designed a Power System Simulator capable of analyzing power system phenomena as they occur in a real power network, from generation to consumption. This system is essentially a scaled-down model of a large power network that includes power plants, substations, transmission lines, distribution networks, reactive power compensators, static and dynamic loads, SCADA systems, and protection mechanisms. It enables the examination of the behavior and performance of systems where access to the whole or parts of the system is not feasible due to safety and cost concerns.
The applications of this product in industrial, research, and educational centers include the following:
- Analysis of Power System Phenomena: Steady-state analysis, fault conditions, and special protected states, among others.
- Development of Power Network Control Systems: Evaluation and advancement of control systems and protection systems.
- Comparison of Results: Analyzing and comparing results obtained from the simulator with those from other power system analysis software.
- Conducting Various Tests: Creating different fault conditions, assessing the correct functioning of protection and control equipment, etc
