WindMil - Contingency Study


Allows users to establish an emergency switch plan.

Contingency Study analyzes electrical distribution systems to determine an optimal system switching configuration for carrying load when system elements are removed from service.  Multiple outage situations may be set to run sequentially. 

With Contingency Study, users can establish emergency switching plans.  Operations staff uses an emergency switching plan to restore load during an extended outage.  Based on the options selected, Contingency Study analyzes an outage situation to determine the switching configuration that serves the maximum possible load without violating loading and voltage limits. 

Contingency Study can also recognize system improvements that, if implemented before an outage, can increase the power restoration via alternative methods. 

  • Runs individual or multiple outage scenarios sequentially
  • Reports include individual switching operations and new feeder loading conditions
  • Ability to modify circuit model during Contingency Scenario and run Voltage Drops to see what is necessary to complete alternate feed
