SKMated Software *ToolsEngineers Power for Power Integr

Introduction
SKM Power*Tools software helps you design and analyze electrical power systems. Interactive graphics, rigorous calculations and a powerful database efficiently organize, process and display information.

Unique Feature
Datablocks can display any combination of data stored in the project database.

Interactive One-line Diagram with User-Selectable Datablocks

Intelligent One-line Diagrams Automate Design & Documentation

Multiple one-line diagrams can be associated with each project for better system or ganization and presentation. Datablocks let you define custom formats to dynamically display input data and study results on your one-line diagrams. Powerful drawing tools quickly create a structured, interactive one-line diagram system model. Copy/Paste saves time by replicating components or portions of a power system. Zoom, Zoom Area, Zoom Previous and Auto-scroll let you navigate large drawings quickly. Interchangeable ANSI and IEC symbols support global projects. Move, delete, and place equipment in or out of service with a click of the mouse. Automatically expand and collapse areas of the one-line diagrams to create custom drawings that best communicate the system design and study results. User-defined textblocks can be placed on the one-line diagrams to display notes, output reports and load schedules. De-energized portions of the one-line are automatically color-coded. Dynamic symbols indicate automatic transfer switch position and transformer connections. User-definable symbols and annotation allow you to customize your one-line diagrams. Save time by printing to pre-defined layouts and exporting to common file formats.

Features SKM Power*Tools

Component Editor Provides Efficient Interface to Display and Edit Data
Component Editor is a dialog box that lets you easily add, edit, copy, and delete system components in a convenient list format. Automatically generate one-line diagrams from system data entered through the Component Editor. Equipment list expands to show connections between system components allowing easy navigation. Sort devices by type, or run queries to list equipment according to your own criteria such as component type, voltage drop limits, voltage range, group association, etc.

Integrated Studies Provide Maximum Efficiency

Run single studies or a group of studies simultaneously. Compare study results to evaluate what if scenarios. Study messages help you locate and resolve system topology or data entry errors. Comprehensive studies include: Short Circuit (Traditional, ANSI, IEC), Demand Load Study, Load Flow, Feeder and Transformer Sizing, Motor Starting, Load Schedules, Protective Coordination, Equipment Evaluation, Arc Flash, Reliability, Transient Stability, DC Systems, Single-phase and Unbalanced 3-phase studies, Ground Grid Design, 3-D Cable Pulling, and more.

Queries Simplify Data Management

Queries automate the selection of common groups such as all LV transformers, equipment at a selected voltage level, cables with greater than 3% voltage drop, etc. Numerous pre-defined queries are provided for your convenience. Easily define custom queries to organize data into manageable groups. Base your criteria on any combination of input data and study results. View query results either from the one-line diagrams or the Component Editor

Libraries Save Time, Automate Data Entry, and Standardize Designs

User-definable libraries for cables, transformers, loads, motors and protective devices ensure consistency and minimize data entry. Customize libraries to precisely model equipment from the manufacturers published data. Switch libraries within a single project to rapidly evaluate what if scenarios. Extensive default libraries can be applied directly to any project. Advanced libraries for sub-transient level generator and motor models, user-definable governors, exciters, power system stabilizers, frequency-sensitive loads, protective devices, harmonic sources, reliability failure rates, DC components, and transmission line configurations.

Import/Export Provides Flexibility, Saves Time and Reduces Er rors

Import and Export PTW project data to conveniently integrate with other databases. Enter, edit and review project data in spreadsheet format and import changes. Export project data, one-line diagrams, TCC drawings and graphical study results to common file for mats for use with spreadsheets, databases and presentation software. Export report files to a wide range of industry formats including Excel, Word and RTF. Create custom report formats through datablock spreadsheets or Crystal Reports. Project Merge allows portions of the system to be defined separately and merged together.

Study/Case Manager Stores and Compares Studies

Print multiple curves and reports together in a custom Form Print layout.

Project Revision Manager Compares Multiple System Configurations

Switch quickly between different project operating states. Each revision highlights components and component data that differs from the base project saving you time through visual feedback and better organization. Output results are stored with each revision for automated comparison. Changes in the base project can be promoted to all revisions. Copy and rename existing revision as starting point for new revision. Revisions can include new components and deleted components as well as state, connections, and data changes to existing components.
