Spectrum Power 3 Programming - Siemens

Distribution Network ApplicationsPower Flow and State EstimationThis course is a combination of lecture, demo and hands-on exercises. It covers the use and configurationof the Power Flow / State Estimation (PF/SE) application. After running PF/SE, the generated resultsare examined to reveal the available details about the power flow and state estimation calculations andthe possibilities for tuning the analysis process. The tunable parameters are explained, and some exercisesare conducted to see the effects of various changes. Finally, the management-related tools andtechniques are covered to support troubleshooting.General InformationCourse Code: DN201Length: 2 daysAudienceThis course is designed for engineers whoneed the details to efficiently utilize the DNAfunctions, including:• Software Engineers• Dispatcher Supervisors• Operation EngineersPrerequisites• Web browser basics• DNA system overview• Basics of distribution system modelingand operations• Experience in distribution system operation• C++ programming is an advantageGoalsUpon completion of this course, the studentsshall be able to:• List the inputs and outputs of the PF/SEapplication.• Manually start a PF/SE calculation.• Change the parameters that automaticallytrigger a calculation.• Describe the PF/SE algorithm.• Tune the Short Term Load Schedulerparameters to conform to distributionpolicies.• Use the log files to analyze the operationaldetails of PF/SE application.• ...• ...• ...Topics• PF/SE Function Overview− Purpose of Power Flow in a DMS− Purpose of State Estimation in a DMS− Interfaces with the SCADA System− Data Flow Overview• Using PF/SE with the Web UI− Running a Calculation− Examining the Basic Results− Examining the Detailed Results− Lab 1 - Using PF/SE• Model & Algorithm− Overview− Tunable Parameters− Lab 2 - Tuning PF/SE• PF/SE's External Interfaces− Service Oriented Architecture− Web-based User Interface− Run-time Query Interface− Lab 3 - Examining the Query Data− Short Term Load Scheduler◦ Load Model◦ Parameters◦ Lab 4 - Configuring STLS• Application Management− Starting and Stopping− Examining Log Files− Lab 5 - Debugging03/06/12Course Descriptions - 57 - Siemens Energy, Inc.Energy Automation
