Real-Time Network Connectivity Analysis

Smart Grid distribution management and distribution automation applications rely on an accurate model of the state of the network. Rather than each application determining the network state or network topology, the Real-Time Network Connectivity Analysis (NCA) calculates the real-time energization state to be used by all of the applications as well as by the user interface to colorize network maps based on various criteria.

Network Topology Processor

In order to estimate and analyze the state of the entire electrical network, a network topology must be available and kept up-to-date in real-time. Network Topology Processor continuously retains and updates electrical system topology such as branch impedances, loading, connectivity, breaker status, etc.

ETAP Network Topology Processor is the foundation for real-time applications like distribution state estimation. Network Topology Processor also provides dynamic analysis of the electrical topology of the system and reports overall conditions to the operator. Powerful displays provide quick indication of outaged customers and other abnormal network conditions.
