Smart Electrical allows you to perform bus and PDB load summaries based on various sets of load values. These various sets of load data (referred here to as plant operating cases) provide the ability to analyze the total electrical load consumption of your plant based on different load properties and values. Typically, such operating cases are called Winter, Summer, and so on. You can create and define any number of such operating cases to cover your plant requirements.

Plant operating case management allows you to do the following:

  • Create and define any number of plant operating cases. (Performed in Options Manager)

  • Set one of the existing operating cases as the active case. This is the operating case that the plant is currently switched to. The active case can be any one of the existing operating cases in the plant. After switching to a specific operating case, you can then calculate various load summaries for that operating case (performed in Smart Electrical).

  • Set one of the existing operating cases as the governing case. This is the main operating case that the plant works at most of the time during the design and engineering stage and later during the operational and maintenance stages of the plant.

  • For each operating case, define and store in the database the values of the electrical equipment and buses. in your plant (Performed in Smart Electrical)

  • Generate various load summary reports for the active operating case (performed in Smart Electrical).

Smart Electrical is shipped with a single (base) operating case, which you can rename if needed. All the values and definitions are stored for this case until you switch to another operating case that you create for your plant. After you add another operating case and define it as the active case, you can delete the base operating case if you no longer need it.

The following restrictions apply regarding the governing case in your plant:

  • Publishing is possible only if the governing case is set as the active case of your plant.

  • Retrieved data is moved to the governing case only.

  • When populating data from the Reference Electrical Engineer using a source plant, the software takes the governing case data of the source plant to populate the governing case of the target plant.
