Introduction: A part funded project through the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) Technology Programme (K/EL/00352/00/00) this aims to improve the quality of fault current calculations in commercial load flow software packages.

Objectives: The methods for calculating fault current contribution in commercial load flow packages vary from vendor to vendor. This project aims to assess the currently available solutions to assess best practice and define new algorithms to improve the quality of output.
