Strategy & Innovation
The Grid
State Estimator - TNA
study contingencyanalysis and a study state estimator to test these model datachanges, as well as functionality to manage informationassociated with model data.
Software
a compilation of a few systems used between TP, SE and SP.
SGem
SGEM is a powerful data modeling, data maintenance anddata exchange tool specifically designed to cost effectivelyand efficiently manage any power system model data
Cape
CAPE (Computer-Aided Protection Engineering) software is built for engineers responsible for protection of high voltage transmission systems and distribution systems within electric power utilities
Application Diagram
a very general overview
interactive power system simulation package designed to simulate high voltage power system operation; power flow analysis solver.
PowerWorld
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.
PSSE
collect, analyze, visualize and share large amounts of high-fidelity, time-series data from multiple sources to people and systems across all operations.
