Power Loss Calculation in Distribution Systems

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying the best software for calculating power losses in distribution systems, specifically for medium voltage (15 kV) and low voltage (0.4 kV) systems. ETAP and ABB NEPLAN are highlighted as potential options, with ETAP being recommended for its capabilities. Users are encouraged to seek further confirmation on the effectiveness of these tools. The conversation also touches on the need for clarity regarding the type of distribution system being analyzed, whether AC or DC. Ultimately, the choice between ETAP and NEPLAN remains open for further discussion.

Hi Miki
welcome to PF :smile:

what sort of distribution system ? AC, DC, Hi voltage ? low voltage?

Hello,
a power distribution system which consist of 15 kv medium voltage and 0.4 kv low voltage

etap can do it

also ABB NEPLAN, maybe, seek confirmation from someone else.

which one is better (etap or neplan)?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
