    • Grasping the Newton-Raphson, Fast Decoupled, and Adaptive Newton-Raphson methods.
    • Practical Application: Executing Load Flow analyses, interpreting outcomes (voltage drops, power factors), and utilizing the "Alert View" to pinpoint overloaded components.

Short Circuit & Motor Starting Studies

  • Short Circuit Analysis
    • Overview of IEEE and IEC standards for fault calculations.
    • Evaluating 3-phase, Line-to-Ground, Line-to-Line, and Double Line-to-Ground faults.
    • Determining the Duty and Breaking capacity of Circuit Breakers.
  • Motor Starting Analysis
    • Modeling Static versus Dynamic motor starting scenarios.
    • Evaluating the influence of "Voltage Dip" on the broader system during motor acceleration.
    • Practical Application: Contrasting "Direct-on-Line" (DOL) starting with Star-Delta or VFD starting methods in a simulated environment.
