This project involved a comprehensive power system study to support expansion of an industrial power system up to 385 MW through addition of a new 220 kV cable feeder from the grid to the substation. The study covered critical analyses including load flow, short circuit levels, motor starting, transient stability, harmonic performance, voltage flicker, phase unbalance, voltage fluctuation and load cycling effects. Detailed system models were developed using DIgSILENT PowerFactory to assess electrical behaviour of the plant network, including evaluation of the impact of an SVC system used for electric arc furnace load compensation. Deliverables included the complete simulation model, system study reports and final recommendations to support reliable operation under steady state and dynamic conditions.
