In this section, you create a substation template from an existing substation in the schematic, place it in the schematic and map, and connect the stations with a 10 kV feeder cable. Finally, the network connection and topology are checked.
Create a substation template from an existing station in the schema
|
Turn on the grid to facilitate placement. 1.Select Settings > Grid > Show grid. |
1.Select Tools > Templates > Substation template > Schema > Define.
2.Select an existing station in the graphic by left-clicking. A dialog box opens.
3.Enter a name for the type station and press OK.
4.Place the reference point at the desired position or accept the existing reference point by right-clicking and selecting Create Template, Substation, Schema.
Place type station
1.Select Place > Substation template > Schema.
2.Select the substation template you just defined.
3.Place the station in the schedule.
4.Enter a new ID for the station and press OK.
5.If necessary, move the Station ID component.
Place station in map
1.Split the view so you can view both schema and map at the same time:
a.Select Window > Split view.
b.Left-click in the center of the graphical view.
c.Select one view and choose a map view from the top drop-down menu in the Map tab sidebar.
2.In the map view, locate the original station by pressing Ctrl - F and searching on its ID.
3.In the schematic view, right-click on the station ID of the station you just placed and select Object > Place component for object > Substation symbol map.
4.Place the station symbol in the map view.
5.In the map view, right-click on the station symbol and select Object > Place component for object > Text ID.
6.Place the station ID in the map.
Add feeder cable
1.Select Place > Object.
2.Select a feeder cable and placement Between nodes.
3.Press Place object.
4.Select the new station symbol in the map. A dialog opens.
5.Select a schema to perform an electrical connection and press OK. The schematic view zooms in on the new station.
6.Select the connection point in the schematic view and then select the original station in the map view.
7.Select a schema to perform an electrical connection and press OK. The schematic view zooms in on the original station.
8.Select the connection point in the schematic view. The feeder cable is drawn in the map view.
9.Right-click on the new feeder cable and select Generate schema component from line in map. The feeder cable is drawn in the schematic view.
10.Edit any vertices in the schematic.
|
If cables cross in the schematic view, you can mark the intersection to show that they are not connected. 1.Select Edit > Component > Mark cable intersection with arc. 2.Left-click the cable intersection in the schematic. |
Check the network connection
1.Select Tools > Trace > Standard (fast) > Complete.
2.Select the new station. Check that the entire network is highlighted in both the schema and map.
3.Select Tools > Trace > Network topology coloring > Color bay areas.
4.Select the original station. Each bay area fed from the station is colored in a unique color, providing a visual control of the network structure and feeding paths.
