EasyPower – Data Collection with New Camera Integration in EasyPower 10.6

Data gathering and data entry can be a time consuming and manual activity, sometimes accounting for more than half of your system study budget. With the release of EasyPower 10.6, we introduce new data gathering and camera integration features into EasyPower to help streamline these processes and make your study experience more efficient and seamless. This webinar, given by Michael Antonishen, P.E., Vice President of Sales & Marketing at EasyPower, provides an introduction to the new EasyPower camera integration features with practical examples for data gathering and data entry.

XGSLab Version 10.1 Update Video

The engineers at SINT Srl in Italy have recently released version 10.1 of XGSLab, with multiple additions and enhancements that make the software more powerful, versatile, and easier to use. In this video David Lewis at EasyPower shows a new conductor type, the Screened Conductor, allowing advanced modeling of cables and GIS is GSA_FD, XGSA_FD, and XGSA_TD. A new graphical conductor editor, multi core cables in NETS, and many more features for more advanced studies.

Protective Relay Basics - Part 2: Coordination and Digital Multifunction Relays

The protective relay is a fundamental element in all medium voltage systems. Devices used in medium voltage protection can be very different from their counterparts in the low voltage world, but the fundamentals are the same. This presentation, given by Andrew Legro, P.E. Field Application Engineer at ABB, and Nikita Mishra, FAE at ABB is the final session of a 2-part series on protective relays. Andrew discusses relay coordination with other protective devices including relay to relay, relay to fuse, and relay to LV breaker. Digital multifunction relays, which provide multiple solutions in a single package, are also discussed.

Optimizing and Understanding your Electrical System with Power Flow

Power flow studies are an important tool to better understand and optimize any electrical system. This webinar, presented by EasyPower’s Jim Chastain, shows how you can use EasyPower’s PowerFlow analysis module to observe system voltages, find overloaded equipment, and reduce operating costs through optimized design. Additional topics covered include transformer tap settings optimization, motor starting impacts, power factor and mitigation options, and measuring losses.

Reducing EasyPower 'Bus Count' with MCC Spreadsheets

In modeling, users often run into the 'Bus Limit' of their EasyPower license when the project includes a large number of motor loads. In this Refresher Webinar, Jim Chastain describes alternatives and trade-offs involved when using EasyPower for Short Circuit, Arc Flash, and Power Flow studies. This is a valuable review for experienced EasyPower users and a strong recommendation for engineers new to the tools.

Digitalization of a Distribution Network

Substation and electrical grid digitalization is one of the major changes in turning distribution network data into information. Such changes are made possible by upgrading to digital devices, upgrading horizontal communication protocols to IEC 61850, and implementing remote access communications to run remote power management/HMI and SCADA systems to cloud applications. Digitalization is seen in several applications and segments such as power utilities, industries, renewables and infrastructure. This webinar, given by Yacine Mallem, ABB Business Development Manager with 20+ years’ experience in power systems, explores implementing digitalization in electrical grids and system networks.
