The energy landscape is shifting. The traditional model of large, central coal or nuclear plants is being replaced by wind farms and solar arrays. These resources behave differently; they are often inverter-based and their output fluctuates with the weather.

At its core, PSS®E allows engineers to model the behavior of the power grid under various conditions. It provides a robust platform for simulating steady-state conditions as well as dynamic, time-dependent events. From small industrial networks to massive, cross-continental transmission interconnections, PSS®E scales to meet the needs of the user. Determining how power moves through the network and
