Feel free to add them by commenting this post. Sorry for the ones that are not in the list. The list is not exhaustive and not ordered. Other are EMTP, Eurostag, CYME, NAP, Paladin DesignBase, CAPE, PowerWorld, SimPow and Aspen, for instance.

They all propose same kind of mathematical models (line and cable parameter calculation, load flow, short-circuit, stability, protection coordination, harmonics, etc.), but the user interface can be quite different.Īccording to my experience, the most used include Siemens PSS/E, Neplan, PowerFactory from DigSilent and ETAP.

Different types of software are therefore available on the market. Utilities have different needs and objectives than consulting engineers or project developers, for instance.

Additionally, they propose different approaches and user interface functionalities, depending on their targeted clients. Network simulation software developers do no publish the number of sold licences. It is difficult to know which are the most used in the world. They are mathematical models based on the electrical laws, offering a user interface specifically developed to represent networks equipment: substations, transformers, overhead lines, underground cables, generators, including renewable energy sources like wind farms and photovoltaic panels, circuit breakers, SVC, etc. A power system simulation software models the behaviour of electrical networks, from low voltage distribution networks (typically 110 and 240 V) to very high voltage grids (up to 800 kV).
