LAB 2 •Course Instructor : Prof. Nilanjan Senroy
ELP-871
•Total Credits: 03
•Slot: Tuesday ( 2:00 PM-6:00 PM)
OBJECTIVES:
• To introduce various power system softwares to students.
• The aim of this course is not to derive theory or to code the theory of
power systems but to learn using pre-programmed software packages
for doing power system study.
• To help students perform basic power system study in each software.
• To differentiate and appreciate the specifications of each software.
The List of Softwares:
1. Simscape Electrical (formerly SimPowerSystems and SimElectronics)
This provides component libraries for modeling and simulating electronic, mechatronic, and electrical power systems. For
documentation, visit https://in.mathworks.com/help/pdf_doc/sps/sps_ug.pdf.
2. PSAT (Power System Analysis Toolbox)
The Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) is a Matlab toolbox for electric power system analysis and simulation developed
by Federico Milano. To know more, visit http://faraday1.ucd.ie/archive/psat/psat_presentation.pdf
3. PSS/E (Power System Simulation for Engineers)
It is commercial software developed by Siemens Power Technologies International. To know more, visit

4. PSCAD (Power Systems Computer Aided Design)
PSCAD is a time domain simulation software for analyzing transients in electrical networks developed by Manitoba Hydro International Ltd.
(MHI). To know more, visit https://www.pscad.com/knowledge-base/download/pscad_manual_v4_6.pdf.
5. DigSilent PowerFactory (DIgital SImuLation and Electrical NeTwork
calculation program)
PowerFactory is a leading power system analysis software, which covers the full range of functionality from standard features
to highly sophisticated and advanced applications. To know more, visit https://www.digsilent.de/en/downloads.html.
COURSE OUTCOMES:
Towards the end of this course, the students should be able to:
• Do multimachine modeling of power system in each
software.
• Perform load flow of power system in each software.
• Do the Linear analysis of power system in each software.
• Do time domain simulation of power system in each
software.
