Abstract
Because of an upcoming modernisation of the electricity distribution network in the SIDER EL HADJAR steel complex, a new calculation of the short-circuit current must be taken into account. The objectives are to determine the precise values of the currents of maximum and minimum fault by each start 225 kV, 63 kV and 15 kV of the distribution network to ensure the reliability of the existing system, and to validate the sizing of the 63 kV bus bar follows the increase of the load of the transformer station P4 by replacing the 70 MVA transformer with a 120 MVA transformer and comparing the results to the old computation. The calculation of short-circuit currents is a key step in qualifying the equipment to withstand the thermal and electromagnetic effects. So, to appreciate the reliability of numerical computation of the currents of short circuits requires modelling and simulations with software NEPLAN V5.
Keywords: Initial short-circuit current, power supply system (SIDER EL HADJAR), IEC 60909-0, peak value of short-circuit current, NEPLA software.
