Transmission Power Flow Studies

Power flow studies are used to evaluate network steady state electrical characteristics. This is an important part in assessing power system adequacy, or the ability of the power system to supply the aggregate electrical demand and energy requirements of the customers at all times, taking into account scheduled and reasonably expected unscheduled outages of system elements.

Power System Engineering, Inc. (PSE) has experienced planning engineers who use industry standard and proven power flow software such as PSS(r)E, PowerWorld, and Windmil to evaluate transmission and distribution systems.

PSE has experience in both the U.S. and Canada evaluating transmission systems in the eastern and western interconnects. PSE is familiar with standards set by both North American Electric Reliability Corporation and regional reliability organizations to ensure our clients are compliant with national and regional standards.

Some of the power flow services PSE offers include:

• Generator interconnection feasibility studies.
• Regional and area planning studies.
• Renewable energy studies.
• Loss analysis.
• Model building.
• Automatic AC contingency analysis.
• Contingency analysis.
• Contingency ranking.
• PV and QV analysis.
• Transfer limit analysis.
