Basic File System
Model File contains the drawing of the
distribution system. The drawing describes the
network topology which includes Sub-transmission,
Distribution Line, Under-build, Open Secondary and
Service Drop. Waypoint data is also represented by
distribution poles, revenue meters, distribution
transformers and protective equipments. It is in
simple .csv format.
Load Data File contains the list of customer data
that relates to the revenue meter in the Model File. It
also contains the description of the customer load
curve. It is in .xls format

The objective is to simplify Data Exporting of
JAED.NS model to other commercial software
available in the market.
DSAS is a commercial software that
accepts data as excel files in ERC prescribe
format. It segregates system losses into more
details.
SynerGEE is also a commercial software
that has similar look and feel of JAED.NS and it
is already used by more distribution system
utilities engineers.

Simple Economic Analysis
Application Using Load Flow
The calculation method assume the interest
rate, load growth and inflation rate are not
numerically significant.
Apply linear break-even calculation in
presenting cost-benefit analysis.
This analysis is a very conservative approach
in obtaining the Rate of Return value.
It can only be used to compare between two
or more scenarios and it is not a viable
method in dealing with just one scenario.

for Fault Analysis Discussions
Only one thing is true that is, NOTHING IS
CERTAIN.
If you are SURE that the above statement is
TRUE, then the above statement is also FALSE.
Fault Analysis
The short-circuit fault is typically the most common
and is usually implied when most people use the term
fault. We restrict our discussions to the short-circuit
fault.
Our objective is to understand how JAED.NS Fault
Analysis may be of help in optimizing a distribution
network being modeled.
Determine fault current value in each distribution
network bus that can be used by protection equipment
designers to design appropriate network protection.
JAED.NS fault analysis algorithm assumes that the
system is totally Radial in nature.

Distribution System Protection
Deals with the principles of design and
operation of equipments that detects fault
conditions.
Initiates corrective action as quickly as
possible to restore the distribution system into
its normal state.
The response must be automatic, quick and
should cause a minimum amount of disruption
to the distribution system
Protection Equipment
Fuse
A current level detector, and is
both the sensor and the
interrupting device.
It is installed in series with the
equipment being protected and
operates by melting a fusible
element in response to the
current flow.
The melting and clearing time is
inversely proportional to the
magnitude of the current flowing
in the fuse.
It is inherently a one-shot device
since the fusible link is destroyed
in the process of interrupting the
current flow

JAED.NS TCC
Time-Current Characteristic (TCC) curves shows a
continuous relationship between current values and
its corresponding tripping/activating time.
It helps protection equipment coordination through
plotting of TCC curves of participating protection
equipment.
The time values are shown on the ordinate (or vertical
side) and may represent the minimum melting time,
average melting time, or total clearing time, as
specified on the curve.
The current values are shown in the abscissa or
horizontal side.

Fuse to Fuse Coordination
Coordinates two sequenced fuse link at a time.
Downstream fuse is called protecting fuse
Upstream fuse is called protected fuse.
For a properly coordinated fuse pair, the protecting fuse
must clear the fault before the protected fuse start to get
damaged.
The fuse will start to get damaged when it passed above
75% of melting time.
Fuse to fuse coordination should start from the swing bus
fuse pair and trace downstream.
Lower system fault current means fuse coordination is
easier, so it is desirable to lower the fault current by
connecting reactor coil in the power transformer neutral.

Fuse Saving Scheme (instantaneous trip is enabled)
Temporary fault
The circuit breaker operates on the instantaneous relay trip (before
the fuse operates).
The breaker recloses.
The fault is gone, so no other action is necessary.
Permanent
fault
The circuit breaker operates on the instantaneous relay trip (before
the fuse operates).
The breaker recloses.
The fault is still there.
The instantaneous relay is disabled, so the fuse operates.
Crews must be sent out to fix the fault and replace the fuse.
Very good in rural areas with long distribution customer density is low
Not advisable if the area being served is highly industrialized or
commercialized.

Arc Flash Analysis
As per NFPA70E Code in U.S. ARC FLASH is a very
dangerous phenomenon associated with the release of
energy caused by electric arc during a fault.
Arc Flash Analysis deals with the quantification of Arc
Flash energy release and mitigating the personal
injuries to the workers.
It specifies the appropriate PPE to wear near an
electrical machinery.
It is all about Human Safety in the premise of faulted
circuit
Note: Safety is presence of MIND and the absence of
the BODY

Reliability Studies of
JAED.NS
JAED.NS uses Failure Mode Enumeration
Analysis (FMEA) technique to calculate
reliability indices.
FMEA is also known as Predictive Reliability

The objective is to quantify the energy not
served of a given distribution system and in
turn apply costing to it.
