Discussion Overview
The discussion centers around the calculation of power losses in distribution systems, specifically focusing on software tools suitable for this purpose. The scope includes both medium voltage (15 kV) and low voltage (0.4 kV) distribution systems.
Discussion Character
- Technical explanation, Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires about the best software for calculating power losses in a distribution system.
- Another participant asks for clarification on the type of distribution system being discussed, including whether it is AC, DC, high voltage, or low voltage.
- A participant specifies that the system consists of 15 kV medium voltage and 0.4 kV low voltage.
- One suggestion is made that ETAP can be used for these calculations, along with a link to its website.
- Another software mentioned is ABB NEPLAN, with a request for confirmation on its capabilities.
- A follow-up question is posed regarding which software is better, ETAP or NEPLAN.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants have not reached a consensus on the best software for calculating power losses, as there are multiple suggestions and a request for confirmation regarding the capabilities of the mentioned tools.
Contextual Notes
The discussion lacks detailed comparisons of the software features and does not resolve which software may be more suitable for the specified distribution system.

etap can do it

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