Electric Power System Analysis

Overview

“Power system analysis accurately predicts accidents and risks.
And it applies prevention and protection systems”

A power system delivers electricity generated from a generator to each load by transporting and distributing.
Such power system has risk of unexpected accidents due to short circuit and breakdown of equipment and instability due to harmonic wave and transients. Therefore, it is especially important to establish a system for minimizing damage in any situation by accurately predicting accidents and risk factors expected from power system analysis and applying preparatory and protective systems from the design.
