Protection That Reflects the Real System
Protection must isolate faults selectively while supporting the operating philosophy of the wider plant. Solvina connects protection studies with network configuration, generation and islanding requirements, rather than treating settings as a standalone exercise.
The engineering problem
behind the question.
Protection settings calculated in isolation from how the plant actually operates — including captive generation, islanding and process-critical loads — can either fail to trip when they should, or trip more of the plant than the fault actually requires.
What we study
The scope is shaped around the engineering question, system boundary and operating conditions relevant to the study.
Short-circuit basis
Relay coordination
Protection settings review
Selectivity assessment
Generation and utility interfaces
Islanding implications
Documentation and recommendations
From engineering question to evidence.
Short-circuit levels are established across the relevant network conditions, existing settings are reviewed for coordination and selectivity, and recommendations are developed with the plant's generation and islanding requirements explicitly in view rather than as an afterthought.
What this work
gives you.
Faults isolated selectively, without unnecessary plant-wide trips
Settings that reflect the network as it actually operates today
A documented coordination basis for audit and future changes
Alignment between protection philosophy and islanding capability
Questions we
often hear.
Yes — the review is based on the network's electrical behaviour and the relay's functional settings, independent of the relay manufacturer.
Protection philosophy has to support whatever separation and islanding strategy the plant uses — the two are reviewed together wherever both are in scope.
