| Abstract |
This paper summarizes a development of visualization software for protective engineering in low-voltage power systems. The study is concentrated on the following aspects. First, a software engineering method is applied for designing the object-oriented program. The design and implementation of a Graphic User Interface(GUI) and its integration to a power system framework are developed using object-oriented programming(OOP) in Visual C++. Second, we develop the short circuit analysis module that oriented a low-voltage power system. It is possible to calculate a peak, symmetrical RMS, DC component and asymmetrical fault currents for each time. And it is the first software that can calculate the fault current for single branch of three-phase system. The calculation accuracy is compared with commercial software, and the libraries of low-voltage components are served for convenience use. Third, protective engineering functions are equipped. It is possible to automatically select the circuit breaker which based on the user input characteristics and the fault current calculation and examine the protective coordination. Through the case study, we verified that the developed software can be effectively used to examine the protective engineering in low-voltage power systems. |
