SHORT DESCRIPTION:  Training by Siemens on the use of PSSC_500: Power Flow and Steady State Analysis using PSS®E

INTENDED AUDIENCE:  Licensed Engineers

DAY AFFECTED:  April 17-21, 2017

LONG DESCRIPTION:  On April 17 through 21 Siemens will offer training on the use of Power Flow and Steady State Analysis using PSS®E. The course provides a thorough coverage of today’s voltage control and reactive power planning issues, and of the tools and procedures that are most effective in studying them.

Upon completion of this course, the participant will have a working knowledge of voltage control issues and reactive power planning using PSS®E.

In PSSC 500 participants will gain practical experience in:

·         Modeling a basic power flow

·         Solving power flows and creating reports

·         Understanding and interpreting results (convergence, divergence, non-convergence)

·         Changing model data and network topology

·         Applying data checking functions to identify modeling issues

·         Managing power flow data (import/export, network reduction, merging data)

·         Performing fault analysis, including overhead line properties calculation and data management

·         Automating and customizing procedures using Response Files, IPLAN, and Python

·         Performing balanced switching, motor starting and voltage rise calculations and viewing results

·         Performing AC/DC contingency and transfer limit calculations

·         Special applications including PV/QV analyses and Inertial/Governor redispatch power flows

 

This is a four-and-one-half day course. Material is presented in both morning and afternoon sessions for a total of six hours of daily instruction. Standard course hours are 8:15 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day, except the last day, which concludes at noon.
