How to perform DC Arc Flash Studies for BESS in ETAP 2024​

etap.com/arcflash - ETAP 2024 has transformed how we assess DC arc flash incident energy for battery energy storage systems (BESS). In this video, you’ll learn about two of the cutting-edge features in ETAP 2024 that will redefine your approach to BESS Arc Safety:
The patented DC C-area in Time Current Characteristic views feature. This innovation empowers protection engineers to pinpoint precisely whether incident energy (IE) levels meet design incident energy criteria during protection and coordination design.
The DC arc flash transient calculation, using IEC 61660 short-circuit currents. This breakthrough method calculates a more precise IE by incorporating battery-specific parameters and operational conditions.
Watch this video to learn how to:
Ensure the incident energy stays within acceptable limits for chosen PPE levels
Streamline protective device selection with even better optimization to minimize incident energy
Eliminate overestimations by factoring in battery rising and decay time constants, along with dynamic conductor effects like erosion and elongation, which are applicable to DC arc flash events
Configure the input parameters needed to take advantage of both features
