CAPSIM is your specialist partner on the behaviour of electrical networks and electrotechnical systems

CAPSIM is an independent electrical technology design office.

Specializing in providing assistance to those carrying out major and minor work on electricity grids and energy systems, CAPSIM operates in a large number of fields of activity, from the transport industry to defence and research.

Its skills run from the complete performance of static sizing studies to expertise in transient phenomena and are based on the following areas of expertise:
  • Low voltage electro-technology and electrical networks at the HVB level (machines, distribution and transport equipment, protection systems, etc.),
  • Primary energy sources (diesel motors, gas and steam turbines, solar, wind, etc.),
  • Power electronics (converters, variators, etc.),
  • Expertise on interface with electrical equipment (mechanical, thermal, hydraulic, control and regulation).

CAPSIM is ISO 9001 certified (Version 2015). [...]

Our last achievement
Reliability report on distribution electrical network

Capsim has produced an extensive Reliability report that includes:
  • Functional Block Diagram: using the single line diagrams, a block diagram is produced, this diagram includes the interactions between the network elements, from generators to circuit-breakers and cables or even safety components.
  • Preliminary Hazards/Risks Analysis: A generic checklist is gone through in order to identify the risks that are likely to happen on the network. Then a table with all the scenarios that could lead to all undesired states of the system identified. Finally the undesired states of the system are classified by severity.
  • The Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis: this step allows the evaluation of one individual element failure on the global system. Once it’s completed the high risk elements are identified.
  • Fault Tree Analysis: the most severe undesired states of the system are analyzed with the Fault Tree method that allows to compute the Failure Rate as well as the Mean Time To Repair. [...]
