PowerHub Settings

Users with PowerHub Admin access have full access to the available settings. Admins can add, edit and delete records in most of the areas except Grid Lines.

The settings determine the allowable values for certain dropdowns throughout the application.

Admin Menu

The Admin menu in PowerHub has 6 menu items:

• Admin: used to configure the system for sites and facilities, described in detail below

• Copy Tool: Used to copy or move power POCs from one tool to another, described below after the admin section

• What If Tools: Used to add tool that can be assigned to panels without having an effect on the panel load calculations

• Flash: The automated optimisation tool used for power pre-assignments. See Flash User Guide

• Bulk management: Allows bulk upload/delete/export of data. See Data preparation for Flash page

• Roxtec: Used to view, add, edit, delete Roxtecs under a selected facility and site.

Admin Settings

Navigate to the Admin menu and select the Admin menu item.

The configurable settings are listed down the left hand pane. Clicking on a setting title will load the settings page for that section.

A. Panel Config

This is where power panel templates are configured. Each bus/panel in the system has a bus style, also known as a template. The grid lists all of the templates with some of their properties as shown in the table and image below.

Attributes in Grid	Description
Bus Style	The template name
Bus Type	The types of bus are: Branch Panel, Distribution Panel, NPS/CPS/EPS Substations and Transformer. Transformer are onllt used so as they can be displayed in the panel tree hierarchy.
Sites	The Intel Sites where the panel templates are used.
Breaker Style	The breaker styles that are used in panels using of this bus style
Tool Panel Cluster	If distribution or branch panels are physically beside the substation, they are considered to be in a cluster. This means that the allowable voltage drop to those panels could be increased from 3% and 2% to 5%. Setting this value to true will enable the higher voltage drop.
Actions	The plus icon on the left expands the template to show how the circuits on the panel are configured. The icons on the right in the action column allow users to edit or delete Bus Style templates.

Create New Bus

when you click the Create New Bus button on the top-right, the Create Bus Wizard is displayed with 3 steps: Panel Details, Breaker Style Compatibility, and Circuit Configuration.

Panel Details

On the details page, you enter values for:

• Bus Style (template name)

• Bus Type (Branch Panel, Distribution Panel, NPS/CPS/EPS Substations and Transformer)

• The site(s) the template will be used on

• The number of circuits on the panels

• The most common frame size on the panels

• The most common trip unit used on these panels

• Whether the panels using this style are Branch Panels

• Whether the panels using this style form part of a tool panel cluster (this will affect allowable voltage drop on the panels)

• Whether the panels using this style have a Distributed Neutral Kit Fitted (used in Penang)

• Whether the panels using this style are busways that run the length of the facility (used in Penang)

• Whether the panels using this style have breakers preinstalled when purchased

• The EEW Type

• Bus unit height

Breaker Style Compatibility

On the next step of the wizard, the user selects all of the breaker styles that can be used in the panels as well as the default one.

Circuit Configuration

On the circuit configuration step, the number of rows will be the number of circuits you entered and the frame size and trip unit will use the default values you selected on the details page. Enter the naming convention for each circuit (e.g. L1, L2, L3 etc.) and click create to save the new template.

You can also enter the Breaker Trip Style, Breaker Trip Unit and Trip Size for each circuit. These can then be used to set the breakers on individual panels where breakers come preinstalled.

Panel template circuits

Clicking the plus icon before a templates name expands the template to show the circuit details on the template.

This will display a grid showing the panel template’s circuit configuration including the circuit numbers, naming convention, frame size, breaker trip style, breaker trip unit and trip size.

Filters

You can filter the values in the grid for any of the attributes. 

For example, you can filter the values for “Sites” in the grid by clicking on the vertical ellipsis button and specifying the filter condition such as “Contains”, “Starts with”, and so on. 

Clear Filters

Remove all the filters applied to any of the attributes in the grid.

Edit

Click on the edit icon to update the information for an existing panel.

Delete

Click on the trash icon for any of the listed records in the grid to remove it. A confirmation modal window will appear. Click on Yes to confirm the delete operation.

Copy Tool

This module allows admin users to copy or move power and telecom POCs from one tool to another tool. Copying assignments will also copy the Popout/Roxtec assignments as well as panel/CP assignments.

Select the Admin menu from the top and select the Copy Tool option from the drop-down list.

A pop-up window opens that gives the admin a choice to copy or transfer a tool. You can select either “Copy” or “Transfer”

Copy

This process will copy the selected electrical and telecoms POCs from the source tool to the destination tool. Copying assignments will also copy Popout/Roxtec assignments as well as panel/CP assignments. If the destination tool has existing POCs with the same reference number as the source tool, then those POCs will be overwritten.

Clicking the “Copy” button displays the dialog below with the following features:

Copy POC - If selected, POCs are copied from the source tool to the destination tool.

Copy POC Assignments - If selected, POC assignments are copied from the source tool to the destination tool.

Copy Tool Coordinates - If selected, tool coordinates are copied from the source tool to the destination tool.

Source Tool - When the user selects a source tool the grid populates with bote power POCs and telecoms POCs. You can select the POCs you want to copy from the grid.

Destination Tool - Enter destination tool

info

If the source tool entity name doesn’t match the destination tool entity name, you will get a warning because, in the majority of the cases, POCs are transferred from one life to the next life on the same tool. You can ignore this warning or select the same tool with a different number of life for the source tool and destination tool.

Once source and destination tools are selected, clicking the Copy button makes a copy of the selected POCs from the source to the destination. 

Copying assignments will mean that there are two sets of POCs connected to the same set of panels. This is okay if you are copying POCs from one life of a tool to another life of the same tool. It is important that the “Active From” date on the newer life is set to a date after the “Active To” date of the old life, otherwise it will appear as if panel circuits have duplicate assignments.

Transfer

If the admin clicks the Transfer button, a transfer POCs window will display. This process will move all electrical and telecoms POCs from the source tool to the destination tool along with assignments to circuits on Panels/CPs and assignments to Popouts/Roxtecs. If the destination tool has existing POCs with the same reference number as the source tool, then those POCs will be overwritten.

In most cases, the transfer function is used to move POCs from one life to the next life on the same tool, e.g., From ANT701-3 to ANT701-4. Physically it is the same tool in the same position.

What If Tools

This module allows the admin user to add, edit, delete tools that are not on the P3 schedule, and associate POCs with them. What if tools are used to simulate possible future scenarios to see what would happen if those tools were assigned to power panels.

Select the Admin menu from the top and select the What If Tools option from the drop-down list.

A grid listing all the what if tools on your site is displayed.

Add New Tool

Users can a new tool to PowerHub. When you click the “Add New Tool” button, a new modal window opens. Enter the tool entity name, facility, and life. The “What If” checkbox will be checked and the “POR” checkbox will be unchecked

Edit Tool

You can click the pencil icon to the left of a tool in the grid to to update the tool details such as entity, facility, UPN, grid letter, grid number, active from, active to, etc.

Delete Tool

Delete a What If tool by clicking on the delete icon on the left. A confirmation dialog pops up. Click Yes to remove the tool.

Filter Tools in the grid

Filter the values in the grid for any of the attributes by specifying the conditions of your choice. 

For example, you can filter the values for “Facility” in the grid by clicking on the adjacent vertical ellipsis button and specifying the filter condition to filter the data.
