Key benefits

Automate and customize grid modeling

Employ power flow for network models up to 200,000 buses, fast steady-state contingency analysis, automatic corrective actions and remedial action scheme modeling, and full node-breaker support for detailed topology modeling.

Run advanced fault analysis with Short Circuit Module

Perform detailed fault analysis using symmetrical component modeling that builds on power flow data. Model network elements at high or simplified detail, enabling flexible, accurate short-circuit analysis from a single data file.

Analyze dynamic grid stability with Dynamics Module

Analyze grid stability and dynamic response to disturbances using a vast library of built-in equipment models. Create custom models and quickly generate, visualize and export simulation results with integrated plotting tools.

Featured capabilities

Base package

PSS®E Version 33 base package includes power flow, contingency analysis, network reduction, linear analysis, steady state (PV/QV) stability, IMD, GUI with single line diagrams and full scripting/automation APIs.

Short Circuit and Dynamics modules

Perform balanced and unbalanced short-circuit analysis with automated sequencing for large models. Calculate circuit breaker duty to ANSI or IEC standards and optimize power flow using cost tables, penalty factors and constraints.

GIC and Optimal Power Flow modules

Accurately model the effects of a geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) with the GIC module. Improve efficiency and throughput of power system performance studies by adding intelligence to the load flow solution process with OPF.
