The DSAToolsTM provides a complete toolset for power system planning and operational studies.

In addition to rich modeling capabilities and leading-edge computational methods, the software is highly automated and can provide engineers with significant productivity improvements.

PSAT PowerFlow & Short Circuit Assessment Tool

PSATTM is a full-featured graphical powerflow program that includes table-driven data manipulation and a flexible one-line diagram capability. It can be used for stand-alone powerflow analysis or for data exchange with other DSAToolsTM products. Applications: Creating and modifying powerflow models Contingency assessment including overload and voltage studies Producing diagrams for output reports Setting up initial conditions for other DSAToolsTM applications

VSAT Voltage Security Assessment Tool

VSATTM is a highly automated steady-state analysis tool designed for comprehensive voltage security assessment. VSAT includes flexible specification of voltage security criteria and is designed to handle a large number of contingencies, power transfers and scenarios. Applications: Reactive power planning studies Operational planning studies (security limit assessment) On-line voltage security assessment Any analysis involving assessment of thermal overloads determination of voltage security limits, evaluation of required voltage stability margins, transfer limits (ATC &TTC)

TSAT Transient Security Assessment Tool

TSATTM is a leading-edge full time-domain simulation tool designed for comprehensive assessment of dynamic behavior of complex power systems. TSAT includes a rich model library, state-of-the-art solvers, and a highly intuitive user interface. Like VSAT and SSAT, TSAT can automatically find security limits under specified contingencies and transfer conditions. Applications: Studies involving rotor angle, voltage, or frequency stability Transmission system design and operating studies including stability limit assessments IPP integration studies Design and setpoint determination of special protection systems Control tuning and protection coordination

SSAT Small Signal Analysis Tool

SSATTM is an eigenvalue-based software tool designed for analysis of small signal stability of large complex power systems. It includes a wide number of analysis functions and productivity tools, making it ideal for investigating oscillatory behavior, and for designing and tuning controls to improve system damping. Applications: Studies of low-frequency inter-area oscillations Analysis of local or inter-machine modes of oscillations Design and tuning of controls Investigation of the sensitivity of system parameters on modes of oscillation Contingencies screening to meet damping requirement Determination of power transfer limit to meet damping requirement

CDT Control Design Toolbox

CDTTM is a specialized software tool for tuning power system stabilizers. CDT works with Matlab and SSAT to provide advanced tuning and bench marking capabilities and is available as a stand-alone tool or as an add-on module to SSAT

On-Line Application of DSATools

Security Assessment in Near Real-Time The DSAToolsTM is designed to provide on-line security assessment when used in real-time sequence of the control centers energy management system (EMS). The software works with a solved powerflow provided by the state-estimator and communicates with the EMS via dedicated data exchange protocol. Powertechs DSAManagerTM controls all computations which are conducted on a dedicated cluster of computers and, if necessary, distributed processing is used to meet performance requirements. Results may be passed back to the EMS console or are accessible locally or remotely.

WSAT Wind Security Assessment Tool

Powertechs on-line DSA technology is used with the Wind Security Assessment Tools (WSAT), in joint development with the Irish national grid company EirGrid. WSAT is now operational at the National Control Centre (NCC) of EirGrid.
