Power system analysis technology

supporting smart grid solution

Hitachi strongly supports electronic power system by excellent
power system analysis technology.
Conceptual diagram of transmission grid
The transmission system has various
phenomena depending on each part.
Given the installation of renewable
energy in large quantities in the future,
the phenomena may become more
complicated. It becomes important to
analyze in advance phenomena that
are caused in the grid by the installation
of the equipment. Hitachi has grid
analysis technologies which help the
building of a more eective and stronger
smart grid.

Selection of analysis method

Analysis method is selected depending on the scale, phenomena, time of analysis object
or consideration step.
Analysis tool
1RMS(Root Mean Square value) calculation
TSAP(Hitachi original program)

It calculates power ow, transient and dynamic

stability, voltage stability analysis, shaft torsional
analysis of generator and Analysis of DC equipment.

PSS/E

Linking with MATLAB, it considers measures against

various system defects eciently.

ETAP

Use GUI for creating model data linking with MATLAB.

2Momentary value calculation
