- Excel import/export
- Anomaly messages linked to the FAQ
- New features for high voltage management (relay management, homopolar generator, device locking symbols…)
- New NEN standard for the Netherlands
- Ergonomics: navigation in the project, more possibilities to customize the display, customization of reports, direct TRC imports, etc.
elec calc GRID: a revolution in the world in electrical installation calculations
elec calc GRID has been designed to meet the sizing needs of multisource and meshed networks, which present new challenges in electrical sizing.
elec calc GRID allows the management of both high and low voltage networks in the same interface. Its load flow calculation algorithm supports the definition of power flows for any installation with multiple sources at different levels, and mesh management, whether for balanced or unbalanced networks.
In addition to the powerful calculation algorithms, the software associates electrotechnical performance to normative requirements, while maintaining the ease of use of elec calc and its real-time calculation.
elec calc GRID main features:
- Balanced and unbalanced power flows
- Radial and mesh network
- Consideration of the phase shift caused by the transformer
- Consideration of regulators (power controlled sources)
- Reactive energy compensation
- Management of various operating modes
- Checks and verifications of the electrical installation
- Calculation of voltage drops and power flows
- Graphical display of flows and consideration of power losses
- Calculation of three-phase and single-phase networks, AC and DC
- Constant current and constant impedance load model.
With elec calc and elec calc GRID, Trace Software offers ever more powerful solutions to support professionals and meet today’s grid sizing needs, where the challenge is to produce electricity as close to the consumer as possible, especially using renewable energy sources.
