• Problem

Needed a system to replace an unreliable legacy solution.

Optimize electrical power management

No dynamic load shedding solution

• Solution: ETAP Real-Time PSMS and ILS

ETAP PSMS was installed to provide monitoring and displayparameters of electrical power distribution and power generation systems

ETAP ILS was used to perform calculations to establishefficient operations and predict the effect of changes to these systems

Test and simulate the AGC control system

• Benefits

ETAP Intelligent Load Shedding (ILS) recognized problems withinthe system and prompted the proper shedding of loads based onthe customer priorities

ETAP ILS dynamically determines the best load shedding priority in just fractions of a second. The system is fully redundant and provides complete optimization of key generators at the facility.

Arzanah Island is part of ZADCO’s Satah field which is about 200 km north-west of Abu Dhabi. Water Injection facilities for Satahfield are located at this Island. Power is generated at 13.8kV by Ruston make Gas Turbine Generators (RGT) installed between

late 1970s and early 1980s.

Sicon Oil & Gas Spa

• Project

• UC Irvine is combining novel strategies for energy efficiency, energy management, and self-generation with research that positions the campus as one of the nation's most advanced field laboratories for community energy generation and utilization, and microgrid technology.

• The partnership is led by the UC Irvine Advanced Power and Energy Program in collaboration Partners include ETAP, Siemens, MelRoK, Toyota, and UCI’s Transportation and Distribution Services.

• Solution: ETAP Real-Time PSMS & MMC

PSMS runs real-time load flow and short-circuit calculations (both balanced fault and unbalanced fault) and using system online operating conditions determined by SLE

Visualization of the renewable assets at the campus

Optimizing the performance of the electric grid. Renewable generation, and advanced energy storage that yields cost savings and reduces emissions.

• Goals

To demonstrate a variety of existing and new smart grid technologies.

Determining how smart grid technologies connect, communicate, and operate with each other.

Reducing energy costs to customers by shifting usage loads to off-peak hours
