Services provided

  • Static study on the constraints of the Ivorian network
  • Analysis of the voltage profil
  • Analysis of the loading of network equipment (lines, transformers…)
  • Transient stability study to analyse voltage and frequency changes
  • Analysis in case of loss of some of the largest generating units and interconnections
  • Analysis of the risks of frequency collapse and loss of synchronism
  • Proposal of a defence plan to improve network security
  • Proposal of a methodology for load shedding with different criteria (voltage, transit, frequency)
  • Proposal of thresholds for load shedding
