PSAF - Network Analysis

Power Systems Analysis Framework
Power Systems Analysis Framework (PSAF) is an integrated power systems analysis software package that includes the Graphic User Interface, Data Base Manager, and Electrical Equipment Parameter Estimation for creating the Network one-line diagram and associated database.
 
PSAF has the following optional additional modules:
 
  CYMFLOW, Power Flow Analysis
   CYM-AC, Contingency Analysis
   CYM-Motor Start, Motor Starting Analysis
   PSAF, Line Parameters Calculation
   PSAF, Cable Parameters Calculation
   CYMFAULT, Short Circuit Analysis
   CYMOPF, Optimal Power Flow Analysis
   CYMSTAB, Transient Stability Analysis
   CYMVSTAB, Voltage Stability Assessment
   WECS, Wind Energy Conversion Systems
   CYMHARMO, Harmonic Analysis
   CYMLINE, One Line Diagram
   ARC FLASH, Arc Flash Hazard Analysis
CYMTCC, Protective Device Coordination
CYMGRD, Substation Grounding Grid Design and Analysis
 
PSAF is directly applicable to both utility-type and industrial three-phase electric power systems.

A wide selection of network equipment and controllers is supported by a built-in database that contains industry standard equipment characteristics. Every type of equipment features more than one modeling possibility depending on the purpose and extent of the simulation to be conducted.

PSAF offers both graphical and tabular data entry modes, user-preferred single-line diagram drawing options (including exporting to AutoCADTM) and sophisticated facilities for reporting, plotting and customizing the simulation reports.
 
ANALYSIS MODULES > Add-on modules to customize your configuration to fit your applications and studies

The PSAF software is modular since each of the simulation and analysis modules listed below can be acquired independently from one another.

  • Power Flow
  • Motor Starting
  • AC Contingency Analysis
  • Optimal Power Flow
  • Short Circuit ANSI and IEC Interface
  • ARC Flash Hazard
  • Transient Stability
  • User Defined Modeling
  • Breaker Rating Analysis
  • Wind Energy Conversion Systems
  • Voltage Stability
  • Harmonic Analysis
  • On Line Diagram Autocad (TM) Interface
Each of the simulation modules features industry-proven, state of the art modeling and solution techniques, making PSAF a reliable tool for demanding engineering analysis.

Electrical Equipment Parameter Estimation

In the absence of detailed information, PSAF is capable of suggesting typical data for the system equipment. These estimating functions account for a wide array of industry manufacturing practices and respect the recommendations outlined in both North American and International calculating guidelines.

This includes advanced Overhead Line and Cable Parameter Estimation Programs.

Transmission line models are defined by their geometrical line configurations. Transposed and/or full three-phase un-transposed models including frequency dependency are supported for single or double circuit lines, with solid or tubular conductors, multiple conductors per phase and multiple neutral wires (segmented or not).
