Why ELEK Cable HV?
The addition of ELEK Cable HV to our software suite enhances our capabilities for:
Thermal Performance Evaluation: The software assesses heating and temperature profiles to verify compliance with thermal limits and prevent overheating.
Accurate Cable Rating Analysis: ELEK calculates the current-carrying capacity of HV cables, ensuring reliable operation under various load conditions.
Precision Cable Sizing: Ensures cables are optimally sized to reduce energy loss and meet project-specific demands.
Voltage Drop Analysis: Delivers accurate assessments maintaining system power quality and reliability.
Cable’s sheath over-voltage calculations: Capable of accurately calculating over-voltages in cable sheaths, which is crucial for ensuring the integrity of cable insulation, particularly during unbalanced fault conditions.
Short-Circuit Analysis: Models short-circuit behaviour, helping to confirm the cable’s ability to withstand fault currents safely.
Complex Cable Configuration Modelling: Creates detailed models for intricate HV cable layouts, enabling precise simulations and system integration studies.
Thermal & Capacity Analysis: Helps prevent overheating and boosts system resilience under varied load conditions.
Seamless Power System Integration: Easily integrates with power system software tools streamlining workflows across power studies.
Notable EPS Projects – 132kV Onshore Wind Farm
Client: Undisclosed Sector: Renewables Location: Scotland Date: December 2024
Project Summary:
For a wind farm located in Scotland, we conducted several HV and MV cable studies to ensure grid compliance and long-term reliability. Our electrical engineers used ELEK Cable HV to analyse the site’s cable rating, thermal performance, short-circuit behaviour and shied overvoltages. To ensure optimal electrical design and support seamless integration to the grid, we modelled the client’s cable configurations to verify their suitability under real-world conditions.
“We chose ELEK Cable HV to improve accuracy and drive innovation in our high-voltage electrical designs. After using the software for a couple of months, we’ve already seen significant benefits. Its user-friendly interface and instant results for complex calculations have streamlined our workflow, enhancing both efficiency and precision. Partnering with ELEK Software reflects EPS’s commitment to excellence, ensuring we continue to meet the highest standards for our clients.”
