ENRiCO™ - Measuring Electricity Distribution Networks
Based on the field-proven SPAR platform, ENRiCO™ models and measures electricity distribution network reliability - allowing electrical network designers and operators to quickly and easily evaluate the reliability of electrical systems and their impact on plant production or power delivery reliability.
Simplifying Complex Modeling
The design of most electrical networks is complex. Creating a computer model that can analyze network performance is an extremely difficult, time-consuming, and recurring chore that requires highly trained personnel.

For example, due to the complex switching actions with disconnected switches and normally-open circuit-breakers that can take place in regular operations, analyzing outages resulting from failures in networks for practical configurations is challenging. Accurate analysis must also consider the complex reconfiguration procedures employed to recover energy supply following component failures and protection relay responses. There is strong interest and need for a complete and accurate, performance modeling solution. However, until now, existing tools and applications provided partial solutions at best. |

ENRiCO greatly simplifies the modeling task, allowing the user to simulate the complex interactions of the substation and distribution network. ENRiCO enables especially rapid modeling of electrical networks to ensure availability, increase performance confidence, and allow grid planners to easily review various "what if" scenarios.
Any Substation or Network Configuration
ENRiCO provides the objects and embedded logic necessary for modeling any type of substation and network configuration - from the simple to the complex. The product can draw and model any type of power station (thermal, gas turbine, combined cycle, hydro). It contains embedded logic for the contingencies in a power station, consisting of two layers - the electrical behavior of the system and the behavior of the generating units and unit auxiliaries

Via a user-friendly GUI with intuitive standard IEC symbol icons, ENRiCO enables the user to build a complete computer model of the distribution system on a single screen. Each icon is loaded with industry component-specific characteristics and logic - simplifying model creation, data input, simulation running, and result output. |

Easy to Operate, Easy to Maintain
While solving intricate and complex problems, ENRiCO’s technical requirements are minimal. ENRiCO runs on a Windows-based PC with a Pentium processor, at least 32MB of memory, and 50MB of available disk space.
Learning ENRiCO is easy for technical people familiar with the industry. Clockwork also offers one-day training classes in any of our training sites or at customer premises. At the end of the training, the modeler is prepared to model his distribution network and to enter the input data necessary to run the simulation.
