ReticMaster - Functional Overview

Interface
  • Powerful point & click interface makes the application easy to use.

  • Using background images to do geographical placement of nodes.

  • Automatic single line diagram generation capability.

  • Electricalconnectivity is modelled in the data which enables efficient network tracing

  • Dynamic calculations with each node placement - Calculations are extremely fast.

  • All results are always available at all nodes after a calculation.
Compatibility
  • PSS/U + other if users have requirements.
  • Any OLE enabled system can link to ReticMaster to use its engine.
Technologies
Combined High, Medium and Low voltage technologies, simulations with unbalance and diversity include:
  • Delta or Star, 2 to 4 wire systems (120° Phase displacement) modelling,
  • 1 phase systems (Phase to Neutral) modelling,
  • Single Wire Earth Return systems (SWER) modelling,
  • Dual phase systems (180° Phase Displacement, two phases & neutral).
Radial / Limited Mesh System Analysis
  • Any user defined voltage level (e.g. 275kV, 132kV, 400V, 120V, etc.)
  • Full Technology Mix
  • Calculations are automatic
  • An unlimited number of nodes are supported
  • Results are immediately available and may be displayed as required
  • Voltage analysis (caters for unbalance)
  • Current Flow analysis
  • Fault current analysis:
    • Three phase faults
    • Phase to Ground faults
    • Phase to Neutral faults
    • Phase to Phase to Ground faults
    • Phase to Phase faults
  • Full load energy and losses energy calculations are performed
  • Demand Side / Energy Management
  • Load types include Constant Power, Constant Impedance & Constant Current
  • Full domestic algorithms are available using appropriate diversity calculations for residential load modelling.
  • Statistical load analysis is available for residential load modelling
Output
  • Graphic reporting such as under/over-voltage and over loaded equipment

  • Voltage profiles are directly available & are dynamically updated during network modifications.

  • Fault current profiles are available & dynamically updated

  • User definable GUI outputs are directly available

  • User definable text reports are directly available

  • Text Report of problems such as:
    • Open points,

    • Islands,

    • Rating problems and

    • Unbalance problems.
Interface to Other Programs
  • External programs such as Excel, Access, CAD, GIS-AM/FM etc, link directly to ReticMaster.
  • OLE (object linking & embedding) is used
  • Ability to allow digitising over an imported background image
  • Read and Save PSS/U data files
  • Read DT_VDROP data files
  • Read Text files
