Electrocon International has released CAPE 14, the next generation version of Electrocon's CAPE family of computer-aided protection software. Supporting the system protection function within electric power utilities, CAPE is used by transmission, distribution and generation companies as well as electrical engineering firms in more than 50 countries on six continents worldwide. CAPE offers extensive tools for detailed relay modeling that help engineers manage voluminous and complex network data, uncover potential problems, and examine alternative solutions.
"CAPE 14 is our next generation software featuring new capabilities and enhancements, most often requested by CAPE users worldwide," remarked Paul F. McGuire, EE, MSEE, PE and President of Electrocon International. "Since its start 30 years ago, CAPE has become a standard in protection."
CAPE 14 includes a number of new features designed to enhance usability and improve engineer productivity including:
Automated time-distance diagrams with option to store in database.
Edit forms for adjusting existing double/triple/quadruple, ring, and breaker-and-a-half detailed bus structures.
Point-to-point line structure for graphical representation of transmission lines, point buses, bus ties, transformers, and shunts.
On-line documentation with fast, simultaneous keyword-searching across all help.
Support for NERC standards PRC-019-1 (coordination of Generator Voltage Regulator Controls with Unit Capabilities and Protection), PRC-023-2 Transmission Relay Loadability), PRC-025-1 (Generator Relay Loadability), PRC-026-1 (Stable power Swing Relay Loadability), and PRC-027-1 (Protection System Coordination for Performance during Faults).
CAPE-TS Link(TM) option to integrate the detailed protection system model of CAPE with the time-domain model of the Siemens PTI PSSTME transient stability simulation.
IPS-CAPE Bridge(TM) optional to provide two-way data exchange between the IPS-RELEX(TM) protection system data management software and the CAPE protection system simulation environment.
Special support for generator protection coordination tasks; display of...
