11kV Feeder Hosting Capacity Analyzer
Chief Consultant Pakistan | Integrated OpenDSS Engine & Synergi MDB Analogy
MDB Processing
Directly import 11kV feeder data from Synergi .MDB files. The system automatically maps conductors, transformers, and load points.
NEPRA Compliance
Designed for the 11kV Hosting Capacity Study required by NEPRA for DER integration and net-metering approvals.
Technical Authority
Simulations verified against FESCO/IESCO standards. Actual results cross-verified with licensed Synergee Electric software.
Technical Simulation Parameters
Simulation Methodology
The analyzer utilizes the Stochastic Hosting Capacity Method. It performs automated, iterative power flow simulations using the OpenDSS (Open Distribution System Simulator) engine, placing Distributed Energy Resources (DER) randomly across 33% of the feeder's High Voltage (HV) nodes to assess realistic impact scenarios.
Voltage Constraint Monitoring
Strict adherence to the NEPRA Distribution Code. The engine flags violations if voltage magnitudes deviate beyond the 0.95 p.u. to 1.05 p.u. range at any bus during DER penetration.
Thermal & Asset Protection
Real-time monitoring of conductor ampacity and distribution transformer loading. The tool identifies "Bottleneck Sections" where current exceeds 100% of the thermal rating during peak generation periods.
Synergi-to-OpenDSS Conversion
Advanced parsing logic converts Section, Transformer, and Load tables from the Synergi MDB analogy into OpenDSS Line, Transformer, and Load objects, ensuring 1:1 topological accuracy.
Understanding Hosting Capacity Analysis for Pakistan's 11kV Networks
As Pakistan transitions towards green energy under the URAAN Initiative, determining the Hosting Capacity of 11kV feeders is critical for DISCOs like LESCO, FESCO, and IESCO. Hosting Capacity is the maximum amount of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), such as solar PV, that can be integrated into the electrical grid without violating operational limits.
Why Use the Chief Consultant Pakistan Load Flow WebApp?
Our WebApp serves as Pakistan's first indigenous Load Flow solution that maintains a direct data analogy with Synergi Electric .MDB files. This allows consultants and utility engineers to run complex simulations without the burden of PKR 25 million+ annual software licenses. It is the ideal tool for:
- Net-Metering Feasibility: Quickly assess if a feeder can handle new solar connections.
- Grid Impact Studies: Fulfill NEPRA requirements for bulk load sanctions and network extensions.
- Technical Loss Reduction: Identify high-loss segments (kW) in the 11kV backbone.
Key Benefits of OpenDSS Integrated Simulations
By leveraging the OpenDSS engine, our tool provides a higher degree of accuracy than traditional static calculations. The inherent Newton-Raphson solver handles non-linear loads and voltage-dependent characteristics typical of Pakistani distribution networks. This ensures that the Voltage Profile remains within the 0.95-1.05 p.u. band, protecting consumer appliances and grid assets.
Compliance with NEPRA and Power Sector Standards
Every report generated by the Chief Consultant Pakistan Analyzer is designed for immediate acceptance by utility planning departments. We focus on the core metrics required by the NEPRA Distribution Code: Thermal Loading, Voltage Regulation, and Phase Imbalance. This tool is a cornerstone for engineering self-reliance in Pakistan's power sector.
