PSS/E (Power System Simulator for Engineering)

PSS/E (Power System Simulator for Engineering) is a specialized software used by electrical engineers to analyze and design electrical power grids. It models how electricity flows through a network of generators, transmission lines, and loads, allowing engineers to assess system stability, reliability, and performance under various conditions. By simulating different scenarios—such as outages or voltage changes—PSS/E helps ensure the grid operates safely, efficiently, and within regulatory standards, supporting decision-making for maintaining a stable and reliable electricity supply.
