Solutions
For utilities
Study transmission and distribution networks: from the daily load flow to contingencies, reliability indices and the connection of new generation.
What you can do with PowerGridTools
- Import existing models from PSS/E, CGMES or PowerFactory DGS instead of redrawing them.
- Screen N-1 and N-2 contingencies and cascading outages, and compute SAIFI and SAIDI of feeders.
- Assess how much new generation each bus can host, and reconfigure feeders for lower losses.
Relevant analyses
-
AC load flow
Balanced load flow with the Newton-Raphson, Gauss-Seidel or Z-bus Gauss-Seidel method.
-
Time-series load flow
Quasi-static load flows over load and generation profiles.
-
State estimation
Weighted-least-squares estimation of the network state from measurements.
-
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
-
Contingency analysis
N-1 outages and N-2 branch pairs with overload and voltage violations.
-
Distribution reliability
SAIFI and SAIDI of feeders, and supply-point reliability by minimal cut sets.
-
Feeder reconfiguration
Switch positions for minimum losses.
-
Hosting capacity
How much new generation each bus can take within limits.
