The elec calc GRID software provides a complete solution for the simulation of electrical networks with complex architectures and multiple sources (grid, generator or photovoltaic source).
elec calc allows the management of High and Low Voltage networks in the same interface, as well as load distribution thanks to the power balance tool.
With the GRID algorithm it is possible to go further in the design.
elec calc GRID’s promises
Calculation of power flows
cable and protection sizing at different system levels
Guarantees all normative controls
Manufacturer hardware database for all components
Features
Management of one or more energy sources at all levels of the installation
Reference source
Power Controlled Source (PQ)
Different models of managed sources
- Conventional sources (HV, HV-LV transformer, ASI)
- Synchronous alternator (generator set)
- Renewable energies: photovoltaics and wind power
Load flow calculation
Calculation of short-circuit currents
Calculation of thermal stresses in conductors
Calculation of residual voltages at all points and voltage drops (voltage plane)
Normative controls according to the chosen standard (IEC, BS, NF, RGIE, VDE, NIBT, REBT, NEN)
A multi-manufacturer database for all components
Control of coordination (selectivity, connections)
Standards
The calculation methods used in elec calc are based on the standards used and the personal safety regulations in force in different countries.
elec calc complies with IEC standards, but other standards are implemented to meet the specific requirements of the country (BS Standard for Great Britain, NF for France, RGIE/AREI Regulation for Belgium, NIBT Standard for Switzerland, REBT Standard for Spain, VDE Standard for Germany, NEN Standard for the Netherlands)
