PSS®E – high-performance transmission planning and analysis software

PSS®E is used in over
-
and offers the distinct advantage of being one of the leading power transmission simulation and analysis tools in the world.

Optimize your workflow with the new built-in local edition of the Model Management module
No longer waste valuable time or sacrifice model accuracy by manually maintaining your various case files, projects, changes, and more. PSS®E (34.7 and 35.1) now includes a new base functionality database that enables you centrally manage the various files and data required to build new cases. This new module enables you to (1) Easily build, store and manage all your case files directly in PSS®E, (2) Seamlessly record and track your changes, and (3) Start visualizing projects with an interactive timeline view.
Providing an industry benchmark for simulation results
PSS®E is used by planning and operations engineers, consultants, universities, and research labs around the world. PSS®E allows you to perform a wide variety of analysis functions, including power flow, dynamics, short circuit, contingency analysis, optimal power flow, voltage stability, transient stability simulation, and much more.Find your application
