PowerGridTools Power-system engineering

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.
