Fast, Accurate, Customizable Simulations

As the number of power transactions increases, new supply patterns are pushing transmission systems to the limits. This increased line loading results in reduced margins and a significant challenge to system reliability. At the same time, system planners are seeing more volatile dispatch patterns. This trend will continue as market prices affect the demand for power in a competitive market.

All of these factors point to the need for increased accuracy in modeling, and greater productivity in system planning. GE Positive Sequence Load Flow Software (PSLF) can help utilities achieve these goals. This full-scale program is designed to provide comprehensive and accurate load flow, dynamic simulation and short circuit analysis. Using this tool, engineers can analyze transfer limits while performing economic dispatch. PSLF is ideal for simulating the transfer of large blocks of power across a transmission grid or for importing or exporting power to neighboring systems.

PSLF is a suite of analytical tools that can simulate large-scale power systems up to 60,000 buses. For ease of use, the data are organized in sensible terms, such as nameplate values, rather than per-unit modeling parameters. Since PSLF has its own fully configured programming language, users can build new models that interact with models within the program, perform post-processing and construct macros that automate execution of repetitive simulations and generate reports.
