PSS® Product Suite

General Information

Description

With the Power System Simulator (PSS®) product suite, Siemens PTI provides a range of analysis tools, including our premier product PSS®E for electrical transmission planning, which has been significantly upgraded with modern graphics, e.g. integration with modeling tools.

Since the mid 1980s we have also supplied utility and industry planning software and currently offer PSS®SINCAL as our strategic product in this field. Besides electrical networks, PSS®SINCAL also is capable of dealing with gas, water and district heating system planning tasks.

Siemens PTI has also developed tools for maintaining and integrating transmission operations with transmission planning including the integration of real-time information to our PSS®ODMS Operational Database Management System software that is fully CIM (Common Information Model) compliant.

Product Information

PSS®MUST

Managing and Utilizing System Transmission

The capability to move power from one part of the transmission grid to another is a key commercial and technical concern in the restructured electric utility environment. Engineers determine transmission transfer capability by simulating network conditions with equipment outages during changing network conditions. Many uncertainties remain in the process.

The purpose of the PSS®MUST software is to efficiently calculate:

Transaction impacts on transmission areas, interfaces, monitored elements or flowgates
Generation redispatch factors for relieving overloads
Incremental transmission capability (FCITC)
FCITC variations with respect to network changes, transactions, and generation dispatch
The impact of transmission element outages on power flow by both DC and AC contingency analysis

PSS®MUST complements PSS®E data handling and analysis functions with the most advanced linear power flow and user interface available. PSS®MUST speed, ease-of-use, and versatile EXCEL interface simplifies and reduces data setup time, and improves results display and understanding.
