Electrical power infrastructure is remarkably similar to the human body: it is made up of thousands of symbiotic components. It ages over time. It is constantly evolving in response to environmental and behavioral changes. And it transmits vital signs that, expertly interpreted, warn of impending health problems.

Power Analytics is an extraordinary new science that interprets these vital signs... and then uses sophisticated mathematical models to assess the health of electrical power infrastructure. Just as Business Analytics revolutionized the fi nancial services industry, Power Analytics is – for the fi rst time – enabling organizations to objectively and accurately appraise the integrity of their electrical power systems... and thus, enhance the security of their mission-critical operations.

Like a skilled physician, EDSA’s Paladin® family of products knows how to check, interpret, and diagnose your electrical infrastructure’s vital signs. When it detects a symptom that warrants further investigation, Paladin® automatically knows what surrounding factors to scrutinize and, based upon its fi ndings, determine when and where problems could be in the formative stages.

In today’s digital economy – with nearly 80% of all business downtime caused by internal electrical power problems – there’s no crystal ball to tell you when and where your operations could be brought down by power failures. But for thousands of organizations worldwide with billions of dollars of assets to protect, Paladin® has been the next best thing.

Power Analytics: Now You Know

Not truly understanding your electrical power infrastructure’s health – or not knowing how to read its “vital signs” accurately – puts your entire operation at risk. EDSA’s Paladin® family is the only software platform that can read and diagnose those vital signs... and actually predict when and where electrical power faults are likely to emerge.

It started with the world’s fi rst digital short circuit program, way back in 1965. Ever since, EDSA has remained the leading innovator in electrical distribution systems design, simulation, and predictive maintenance solutions.

Today, the Company’s Paladin® family of products is used by thousands of customers in virtually every industry in which electrical power serves as the “central nervous system” of customers’ most mission-critical operations.

The total value of these customer assets protected by EDSA technology is more than $100 billion… and includes data and network operations centers, manufacturing plants, nuclear power facilities, deep sea oil platforms, aircraft carriers, submarines, FAA air traffi c control networks, semiconductor fabs, pharmaceutical plants, and other complex structures with uncompromising electrical power requirements.

But the Paladin® family of products isn’t only the platform-of-choice for demanding users: it is the only product in its class to meet the certifi cation standards of the International Standards Organization (ISO), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Department of Defense (DoD), NATO, Det Norske Veritas (DNV), and others.

EDSA is already touching your life in a myriad of ways: by helping to make airline travel safer; keeping critical computer networks on-line; bringing oil and gas products to market; producing energy for our homes and businesses; bringing

Paladin®DesignBase™ is the best-selling and most powerful electrical system design and simulation software platform in the industry today. It is an internationalized, ubiquitous design system that can be used to create, analyze and simulate virtually any type of electrical power distribution system regardless of complexity.

Unlike conventional design/CAD packages, Paladin® DesignBase™ gives electrical engineering professionals the means to create more than a simple CAD drawing: they create a robust electrical “designbase” – a detailed design and knowledge base of the performance specifi cations of their entire electrical distribution system.

Paladin® DesignBase™ provides the technological richness needed to simulate and analyze systems from a variety of static or dynamic perspectives. This includes the ability to model and embed detailed control logic of intelligent electronic devices that control power fl ow throughout the system.

Paladin® DesignBase™

It’s more than a design tool: it’s a database brimming with operational details, component specifi cations, and deep expert knowledge about the behavior of your electrical power infrastructure. And it’s the reason only EDSA can help you get it “Perfect on Paper.”

Paladin®DesignBase™ provides three crucial benefi ts for users:

• Robust design and simulation - The designbase serves as the basis for powerful modeling, simulation, analysis, and “what if” testing prior to the construction phase

• Get Designs “Perfect on Paper” - The engineering intent behind all facets of the electrical engineer’s design is preserved to guide downstream construction, installation, and maintenance crews

• Future-Proofi ng Your Facility - Once the facility is operational, the designbase can – using EDSA’s Paladin® Live™ platform – serve as a benchmark against which actual measurements are compared, in order to identify potential operational problems while they are still in the formative stages... and there is still time to preempt them

In addition, a library of more than 50 optional Paladin® DesignBase™ Solutions Modules allow users to perform specialized forms of analysis and optimization, including Fault Analysis, Protection Coordination, Power Flow Analysis, Power Quality Analysis and Mitigation, Dynamic Behavior Simulation, Design Optimization, and Sizing Optimization.

Fault Analysis

Quickly and accurately calculate the effects of fl owing faults in three-phase, single-phase and DC power distribution systems. Module names:

• AC Short Circuit – 3phase and 1phase ANSI/ IEEE• AC Short Circuit – IEC 60909• AC Short Circuit – IEC 61363• DC Short Circuit

Arc Flash Simulation

Based on test results given in IEEE-1584 and recommendations of NFPA-70E, this powerful tool helps safety engineers estimate the energy falling on a surface removed from a fault. Quickly identify the grade of clothing required by operators and easily provide protective signs for electrical equipment stating the type of protective clothing required when working around energized equipment. Module name:

• AC and DC Arc Heat per NFPA-70E and /IEEE- 1584

Protection Coordination

Designed for coordination of protective devices in 3-phase, 1-phase, and DC power systems, including transmission networks requiring Distance Relay Coordination. Provides engineers with a very strong, effi cient, and fast tool for selecting, comparing, and coordinating protective devices.

Paladin® DesignBase™ Solutions Modules

50 Solutions Modules... and a million answers to your questions about what happens after your design becomes operational

Module names:

• Device Coordination – 3phase• Device Coordination – 1phase• Device Coordination – DC• Impedance Relay Coordination• Validated Protective Device Curve Library

Power Flow Analysis

Enable users to conduct balanced three-phase and single phase load fl ow studies on almost any network confi guration imaginable. This object-oriented load fl ow program uses sparsity techniques for the load fl ow solution; it applies bus admittance matrix plus two iterative methods (fast decoupled, or Newton-Raphson) to obtain the desired results at all buses in the network. Module names:

• AC Multi Motor Starting Power Flow• AC Advanced Power Flow – 3phase, 1phase• AC/DC Power Flow• DC Power Flow• AC Unbalanced Power Flow – 3phase• AC Voltage Profi le• AC Active Optimal Power Flow• AC Reactive Optimal Power Flow

Power Quality Analysis and Mitigation

Harmonic analysis is required when devices that generate harmonics, such as rectifi ers, arc furnaces, AC/DC drives etc, are present or anticipated to be added to the power system.

Paladin® DesignBase™ Solutions Modules allow users to easily perform highly-accurate simulations of their infrastructure design – under an almost unlimited range of operating conditions, system parameters, and fault scenarios. These modules allow users to tailor their Paladin® DesignBase™ platform to their specifi c requirements, to fully simulate and understand the operational behavior of their infrastructure once it is constructed.

Digital computer simulation is the most convenient, and perhaps more economical, way of tackling the problem of harmonic analysis. Module names:

• Power Factor Correction• Harmonics Analysis with Automatic Filter Sizing

Dynamic Behavior Simulation

Allows power systems specialists to simulate all known phenomena and disturbances. Based on EDSA’s exclusive advanced trapezoidal simulation engine, considered to be the most powerful and accurate means of simulating transient events, this robust, fl exible, and fast tool offers a productive and effective platform for creating user-defi ned AVR and Governor models. Module names:

• Advanced Transient • Universal Control Logic Simulator • Advanced Motor Torque and Performance • Electromagnetic Transient Analysis (EMTAP)

Power Systems Optimization

PSO utilizes the state-of-the art in optimization techniques to assist operators to minimize system losses, perform economic dispatch, minimize load shedding, plan reactive power resources, and optimize system voltage profi le with minimum control setting movements.

The methodology implemented in PSO to solve the reactive power resource optimization problem alone or together with the security constrained optimal powerfl ow, is based on a hierarchical decomposition of the original problem into two parts: The reactive power planning problem, where the location and size of new reactive sources are determined; and the security constrained optimal power fl ow problem in which the reactive power resources are used to optimize system operation.

The overall solution is achieved in an iterative method of the investment and operation sub problems. The investment sub problem initially produces trial values for reactive resources. The effect of addition of these resources in terms of operating feasibility is evaluated by the operating sub-problem.

Sizing Optimization

A library of proven, powerful solutions for a wide range of frequently-used sizing tasks. Module names:

• Battery Sizing• Cable Ampacity N-M and IEC• Generator Set Sizing• Transformer Sizing• Wire and Conduit Sizing• Bare Wire Sizing• Short Line Parameters• Transmission Line Constants• Cable Tray Analysis• Transmission Line Sag and Tension• Reactor Sizing• Capacitor Sizing and Optimization • Electrical Schedules• Motor Parameter Estimations • Ground Grid Design • Cable Pulling in 3D

Reliability and Capacity

Allows engineers to accurately and effi ciently evaluate the reliability of electrical distribution systems. Module names:

• Load Forecasting

• Block Based Reliability Analysis

• Distribution and Substation Reliability Analysis

Over time, very few electrical engineering projects stay 100 percent in sync with their original design plan. Even minor changes like periodic technology upgrades, new hardware, and facility changes can – like a ship trending off-course by only 1° – result in tremendous deviations over time. Even seemingly minor changes can create anomalies that go undetected until it is too late to preempt them: frequently, such anomalies may not be the result of a catastrophic occurrence, but rather, an unforeseeable event during scheduled, routine maintenance.

Paladin® Live™ is the only Power Analytics platform that gives users a past, present, and future view of the health status of their power infrastructure:

Past All system-wide historical data – not limited to those values specifi ed by the user when the system was launched – are recorded and stored by Paladin® Live™ for ad hoc retrieval and analysis. This allows post-mortem analysis of system anomalies, based upon all data, not just values being tracked.

Present Paladin® Live™ intelligently searches for and predicts potential vulnerabilities in complex electrical distribution systems by maintaining an uninterrupted, 360° view of electrical power

Paladin® Live™

Your electrical infrastructure design was perfect on paper. But how do you keep it that way in a dynamic operational environment... where technology, equipment, personnel, and operating parameters are constantly changing?

infrastructures. It continually assesses the real-time overall “health” of equipment and systems, and then makes recommendations – or, can take actions directly – to address any predicted vulnerabilities.

Future When conditions begin to emerge that could indicate a longer-term power problem, Paladin® Live™ immediately begins checking surrounding data to identify and isolate potential faults. This includes conducting fault scenarios,in which system-wide reliability is tested bysimulating the individual failure of each component… and its resulting impact on resilience.

Past, present, or future, such vulnerabilities – whether at the component- or system-level – can pose serious risks to an organization’s technical, operational, and fi nancial well-being; to address these different needs, Paladin® Live™ comes with power visualization capabilities that allow for customized real-time reports, tailored for the informational needs of each user. So, engineering personnel can receive technical reports on specifi c electrical problems and their resolution; managerial personnel can receive higher-level reports on system-wide operational impact; and executives can receive fi nancially-oriented reports on the monetary impact of problems resulting from electrical power problems.

Because power infrastructure and system behavior changes over time, Paladin® Live™ implements sophisticated pattern/sequence recognition tech-nology into a real-time decision loop, enabled by a new type of machine learning called “associative memory.” This means that the software literally learns on-the-job, amassing an extremely broad and deep expert knvowledge about everything it observes... not just regarding your electrical sys-tem, but your entire critical infrastructure.

Once on-line, the Paladin® Live™ neo-cortical pattern/sequence recognition technology begins autonomous operation. It is constantly examining, testing, validating, and learning about the integrity of your electrical infrastructure, in order to insure operational continuity and resilience of your critical infrastructure.

This enables Paladin® Live™ to display “experi-ential learning” – in which future events become predictable by virtue of past observations and the aggregated knowledge. It continuously adapts and learns about the electrical power infrastructure... treating it as an ecosystem, not a collection of in-dividual points of failure. Thus, the system can ac-curately predict the location of impending failures, their context, and even their cause.

As a result of these powerful and exclusive capabil-ities, Paladin® Live™ provides the most sophisti-cated technological solution for supporting:

• Business Continuity - through understanding and determination of the availability of failsafe systems from a power system viewpoint

• Operational Resilience - through rapid expo-sure of cross-infrastructure dependencies and the intelligent prediction... and thus avoidance of cascading and escalating failures across multiple infrastructures

• Reliability-Centered Maintenance - through integration of best-of-breed, real-time reliability power analytics and intelligent auto-associative memory agents

• Prioritization of Electrical Assets - around processes that carry the highest business values. Revenue generating and critical activities, rather than non-essential internal processes, can now be intelligently prioritized in the event of a predicted problem or outage
