Learn How TVA Uses Python & ETAP for Degraded Voltage Analysis and Motor
Starting in Nuclear Plants (https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qp-nNzckjYg)
Nuclear plants in the United States are governed by federal regulations requiring that the electrical power system provide sufficient capacity and
capability to the nuclear plant. As part of this analysis, traditional approaches to manually perform single motor start calculations can be tedious and
time-consuming. Also, the manual evaluation of the data can easily introduce errors. This presentation takes a closer look at degraded voltage relays
(DVRS) and an approach to simulation used by the TVA that is holistic, using ETAP to easily combine the study cases, the revisions, and the
configurations into repeatable studies. The demonstration includes the use of an efficient solution using Python code with ETAP to run the studies and
evaluate the resultant data.
