Eaton’s comprehensive portfolio of advanced power system studies offers a focused and systematic approach to solve complex problems that can occur in a power system. Our range of advanced electrical system studies includes switching transient analysis, advanced protective relaying, power quality analysis, and many others designed to identify and resolve potential problems that can occur in a power system. Eaton’s approach goes beyond identifying the problem or cause of equipment failure, and instead aims to recommend an equipment solution to solve it. Our engineers will be there every step of the way – from determining the cause of the problem to ensuring the equipment solution recommended is installed and operating correctly.
Eaton utilizes a variety of measurement instruments and specialized analysis software to extract data and provide specific, actionable recommendations to mitigate study-identified hazards. Our advanced power system studies offering includes:

Short description |
Load flow/power factor correction study
|
The load flow study is an analysis of the system capability to supply the connected load under steady-state conditions. Optimal management of the power system can be achieved through the use of this analytical tool. |
Harmonic analysis study |
Harmonic studies provide calculation of the current and voltage harmonics throughout the electrical distribution system when the generated harmonic current magnitudes and the system 60 Hz impedances are known. |
Transient stability study
|
The transient stability study provides an analysis of the transient response of the system and rotating machines following system disturbances, as well as the behavior of the system in relation to the power company tie. All studies include computer simulations that determine the effects of short circuits upon the system transient stability. |
Switching transient analysis provides a detailed description of the sequence of events that precede a switching transient disrupting the electrical system operation, including magnitudes and waveforms, surge protection recommendations, one-line diagrams and more. |
|
Transient motor starting analysis |
A motor starting study is conducted to evaluate the motor’s impact on the power system and vice versa. These studies are usually performed for new motor installations to ensure system reliability, provide data for motor protection, and to identify any system modifications that may be necessary to avoid starting problems. |
