A comprehensive software simulator for teaching power distribution systems
An innovative distribution system simulator integrating load flow, fault current calculation and modelling of overcurrent relays and breaker operation is described. Appropriate sets of scenarios are generated for different levels of exercise and all actions taken by the student are logged, automatically evaluated and awarded a grade.
