Simulation Software for

Power System Studies

TM

MiPowerTM is driven by a robust power system analysis engine covering

various aspects of power system studies from steady state analysis to
stability and security assessment, including reliability and protection.
MiPowerTM caters to the needs of power system planners and
operations engineers.
Windows based platform makes it highly interactive and
user-friendly.
Professionally designed GUI and centralized databases add to the
efficacy of the product.
