elec calc™ GRID: a revolution in the world of calculation of electrical installations

elec calc™ GRID was designed to meet the need for sizing a new type of network, called multisource and meshed, which presents new challenges in terms of electrical sizing.

elec calc™ GRID makes it possible to manage High and Low Voltage networks in the same interface. Its load flow calculation algorithm supports the definition of power flows for any installation with several sources at different levels, and mesh management, whether for balanced networks or not.

In addition to the powerful calculation algorithms, the software reconciles electrotechnical performance and normative requirements, while maintaining the ease of use of elec calc™ and its real-time calculation.

Among the features of elec calc™ GRID:

• Balanced and unbalanced power flow
• Radial network and mesh network
• Taking into account the phase shift caused by the transformer
• Consideration of regulators (sources with controlled powers)
• Reactive energy compensation
• Management of several operating scenarios
• 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 charging model.

With elec calc™ and elec calc™ GRID, Trace Software offers ever more powerful solutions to support professionals and meet the current needs of grid sizing, the challenge of which is the production of electricity as close as possible to the consumer, in particular by using renewable energy sources.
