- Load tap changer (LTC) adjustment on 2 and 3 winding transformers, either voltage or var controlled. Fixed transformer taps are also allowed.
- Utility/generator swing voltage control for PV and PQ models
- Generator reactive var compensation for voltage control
Expert System Overload Evaluation
- Overloaded equipment instantaneously highlighted for fast sizing and verification
- Overload evaluations performed on transformers (2 and 3 winding), current-limiting reactors, cables, transmission lines, and busway
- Buses with improper voltages are highlighted instantly for easy identification and diagnosis
- Adjustable min/max thresholds for voltage and overload violation notification
- Enhanced generator modeling
Multiple Swing Sources
- Multiple swing sources can be located on islanded or fully connected systems
- Various generator models supported: swing, PV, and PQ
- Includes both local and remote voltage control for the PV model
- Includes user-definable source voltages for the swing and PV models
