Power System Modelling/Studies | Engenuity Solutions

Ensuring Electrical Safety, Efficiency, & Performance

Power system modelling is essential for analysing, simulating, and optimising electrical networks. It ensures low and high-voltage systems are safe, reliable, and efficient. Engenuity Solutions uses specialist software and advanced computing tools to model electrical systems for new projects and existing infrastructure, helping clients reduce risk, improve protection settings, and enhance power distribution.

From industrial power distribution to large-scale mining operations, we support electrical networks that span vast areas. Our detailed analyses enable informed decisions on network stability, fault protection, and regulatory compliance. Arc flash analysis, a key component of modern studies, assesses risks from electrical faults and ensures safety measures are in place.

Whether designing new systems or optimising existing networks, our studies improve safety, efficiency, and compliance with standards.

Our Power System Modelling Capabilities

Load Flow Analysis

Assess power distribution efficiency and system performance to ensure networks stabilise operational demands.

Short Circuit Studies

Analyse fault currents to ensure protection systems are correctly rated and configured to prevent damage and improve resilience.

Protection Coordination Studies

Optimise protective devices (relays, circuit breakers, fuses) to minimise disruption while safeguarding equipment, personnel, and operations.

Arc Flash Studies & Risk Assessments

Identify arc flash hazards and calculate incident energy levels to define safety measures, PPE, and operational protocols.

Harmonic Analysis

Mitigate power quality issues, ensuring compliance by reducing voltage distortion and instability caused by harmonics.

Motor Starting & Transient Stability Studies

Evaluate the impact of large motor startups to ensure proper sizing, protection, and performance optimisation.

Grid Compliance & Renewable Energy Integration
