Power System Studies of Electrical Drive Test Field Using EMTP-ATP Software

The aim of this paper is to present the power system studies - the approach, main results and design recommendations carried out as a design verification of the electrical drive test field. The drive test field is a specific problem, as unlike of standard industrial installation the exact types of connected loads differ and thus, the particular input data of connected loads are not known. The possible way of data mining and assumptions taken into account, as well as simulation inaccuracies, are presented here. All studies were performed in the EMTP-ATP software, and, if applicable, the approach and assessment of results was in accordance with EN standards or Czech PNE standards. The work also presents some useful points which should be a part of the executive summary of particular power system studies.
