Solutions
For consultants and EPC contractors
Deliver standard-based studies and clear reports for design reviews and approvals.
What you can do with PowerGridTools
- One model for load flow, short circuit, cable rating, earthing and insulation studies.
- Reports as PDF, Word (also from your own template) or Excel, and the diagram as SVG or DXF.
- Keep variants as study cases and compare their results side by side.
Relevant analyses
-
AC load flow
Balanced load flow with the Newton-Raphson, Gauss-Seidel or Z-bus Gauss-Seidel method.
-
Short circuit to IEC 60909
Initial, peak and breaking currents with the correction factors of the standard, for maximum and minimum currents.
IEC 60909-0
-
Transient stability
RMS time-domain simulation of disturbances, with a search for the critical clearing time.
-
Arc flash
Incident energy and arc-flash boundaries, with labels and energized work permits.
