Restoration qualification feature evaluates the ability to restore loads by monitoring and comparing the following parameters:
- System frequency
- Available spinning reserve
- Starting voltages
- Operating voltages
- User-defined logic
- Alternate source detection
- System configuration status
- Interlock & switching sequence logics
Operator notification and acknowledgement provides the means that allow the dispatcher to restart the loads. Armed with Switching Management, loads can be restarted step-by-step or in one action. Where the restarting is determined to be invalid or unsafe, ETAP automatically inhibits the restart and provides the system operator with an indication that the load cannot be started.
