CYME Power Engineering

The CYME Power Engineering Software, developed by Eaton, is a suite of applications designed to facilitate power system analysis and modeling. According to the vendor, this software is specifically tailored for power engineers, electrical engineers, utility companies, consulting firms, and industrial facilities. It offers advanced tools and libraries that allow businesses of various sizes in the power engineering industry to efficiently analyze and optimize distribution and transmission power networks, perform cable ampacity calculations, coordinate protective devices, design and analyze grounding grids, and more.

Key Features

Distribution Analysis (CYMDIST): According to the vendor, this feature enables users to perform various types of analysis on balanced or unbalanced power systems, including unbalanced load flow, fault flow analysis, load balancing, and optimal capacitor placement.

Automated Network Forecast Analysis: The CYME Advanced Project Manager allows users to create, view, and modify time-dependent projects, such as load addition, power transformer change/replacement, and network switching, according to the vendor.

Steady State Analysis with Load Profiles: The software enables accurate time range analysis based on a combination of AMR data and historical consumption patterns, according to the vendor.

Distribution State Estimator: Users can analyze the unbalanced power flow and voltages at every level of a distribution power system, according to the vendor.

Reliability Assessment: The software allows users to run predictive and historical reliability assessment scenarios to evaluate the impacts of investment decisions and assess the impacts of Distribution Automation (DA) investment on system reliability, according to the vendor.

Techno-Economic Analysis: Users can evaluate the feasibility and profitability of a project based on the system model, according to the vendor.

Transient Stability: The software enables users to simulate the dynamic behavior of distribution systems with distributed generation under various transient events, such as fault application/clearing and motor starting, according to the vendor.

Harmonics: Users can perform harmonic assessment in electric power systems using single-phase and full three-phase modeling capabilities, along with a library of pre-defined models for network equipment and harmonic current sources, according to the vendor.

Long-Term Dynamics Analysis: The software allows users to study the impact of irradiance variations, wind fluctuations, and load variations on network controls and battery energy storage devices, according to the vendor.

Integration Capacity Analysis: Users can determine the maximum allowable capacity that can be added to the network without violating constraints and assess the hosting capacity of the network to filter out non-compliant interconnection requests, according to the vendor.
