Applications

What it can do

Load flow and contingencies

AC and DC load flow calculation and automatic contingency analysis (n-1 and n-k) on networks of any size.

Short-circuit

Short-circuit calculation to IEC 60909, ANSI and the complete superposition method, with maximum and minimum currents.

RMS and EMT stability

Dynamic time-domain simulation, both RMS (electromechanical phenomena) and EMT (electromagnetic transients).

Power quality and harmonics

Analysis of harmonics, flicker and power quality in accordance with EN 50160 and IEC 61000.

Protection

Coordination of overcurrent and distance protection, with verification of settings and selectivity.

Small-signal stability

Modal and eigenvalue analysis for the study of power oscillations and their damping.

Reliability and optimisation

Reliability calculation, optimal power flow (OPF) and network state estimation.

Automation with Python

Automation of studies and post-processing of results through the Python API and the DPL and DSL languages.
