Eaton 2017
Treat the UPS in inverter mode as a current-limited source in the short-circuit engine, with catalogue fields inverterIscMultiple, inverterIscDuration_ms, bypassIcw and maxProspectiveFaultAtBypass.
ABB 2008
For main switchboards with two transformers plus bus tie, or generator paralleling boards, flag that conventional time selectivity cannot discriminate fault direction and propose directional or directional-zone selectivity on incomers and bus tie.
Enerji Piyasası Düzenleme Kurumu (EPDK) 2019
In the generator module, tag standby diesel sets as 'imdat grubu': no generation licence, no export.
U.S. DOE Federal Energy Management Program / Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 2013
Use the package cost/kW and payback ranges as defaults in the retrofit measure library (air management, generator block heater controls, chilled-water plant).
Cummins 2024
Carry fuel compatibility (HVO/EN 15940), emissions tier/NOx and permitted annual run hours in the generator catalog.
Uptime Institute Journal 2014
Model fuel as a first-class subsystem: tanks, pumps, valves, day tanks and pump power feeds with redundancy checks.
iMasons Climate Accord (Infrastructure Masons) 2025
Include generator auxiliary loads (block heaters, battery chargers) in the parasitic load and PUE calculations.
Schneider Electric 2020
Add an on-site energy/DER layer: sources utility, diesel_standby, gas_chp, cchp_absorption, pv, wind, fuel_cell, bess with a continuous vs standby flag.
Cummins 2007
Give the sizing engine inputs for minimum load %, maximum voltage and frequency dip, altitude and ambient derate, and per-load type (UPS rectifier pulses, VFD share, motor starting method).
Huawei Digital Power 2025
Import RD 01-21 as parametric AI-hall templates (rack kW, racks per module, module kW, redundancy of fan walls/TMUs/towers, generator and transformer counts) and as golden test cases for capacity math.
National Academy of Engineering, The Bridge (LBNL authors) 2026
Expose flexibility capability per design (curtailable MW, BESS duration, on-site generation) as outputs for interconnection applications.
Consulting-Specifying Engineer 2024
Generator catalogue entries need kW/kVA at 0.8 PF plus derating inputs; the tool should auto-derate for site altitude and design ambient.
Consulting-Specifying Engineer 2026
Seed facility-type templates with default UPS/generator redundancy and fuel autonomy from Table 1.
7x24 Exchange Magazine 2024
Generate a commissioning test plan from the design: one load bank test entry per genset (resistive-inductive at rated kVA).
IEC 2018
In source modelling, keep safety-service loads (fire pumps, smoke extract, emergency lighting) on a separate bus fed by a qualified safety source.
Uptime Institute Journal 2017
Evaluate the Tier checker on topology, with paths and components removed one at a time, not on component counts.
NFPA 2025
In the generator module, capture the EPSS class (fuel run time), type (start time) and level on the generator object and size fuel storage to the class.
Caterpillar 2015
Give the generator module a prime-mover choice (diesel Tier 2 emergency, diesel Tier 4, gas recip, gas turbine), each with start time, full-load acceptance time and permitted non-emergency hours.
Caterpillar 2018
Build an architecture selector with the three options and show consequences: LV-only limit for on-set, required breaker closing speed, and master-controller need for complex sequences.
Hitachi Energy 2025
Support phased supply scenarios (off-grid hub then grid) with PV, BESS and generator sizing in the site/energy module.
U.S. Department of Energy, Secretary of Energy Advisory Board (SEAB) 2024
Offer alternatives to diesel (gas, BESS, fuel cells) in backup-power design.
Energies (MDPI AG) 2023
When choosing among DRUPS or UPS configurations, first screen with the graph-based method to identify the best candidates, then do the detailed RBD calculation for that candidate only.
Caterpillar 2021
Give the fuel module a fuel-type choice: diesel (EN 590/ASTM D975), HVO (EN 15940) or blend.
Proceedings of the 2018 3rd Joint International Information Technology，Mechanical and Electronic Engineering Conference (JIMEC 2018) (Atlantis Press) 2018
Offer 'UPS + utility (mains) dual bus' as a topology template beside 2N and N+1, with an RBD calculation that shows it can match 2N for dual-corded IT load.
