allow an adjustment to the individual
requirements of each user.
Our PSS®NETOMAC network planning
software offers:
· a variety of configurations, which
can be selected according to
individual requirements
· a modular structure
· stand-alone GUI or use as
calculation engine for the PSS®
Product Suite, e.g. PSS®SINCAL and
SIGUARD®
· 32- and 64-bit technologies for
modern Microsoft® Windows® OS
· user support via training, seminars
and hotline
The challenge
The changes in the energy market are
creating new demands on system
planning engineers in power utilities
and industrial companies. Traditional
areas of activity have to be rethought
and new ones acquired. In order to
PSS®NETOMAC offers a great variety of
succeed in the open, competitive
markets of today, it is extremely
important to have all the required
information available at the right time
and in the right place.
Our solution
PSS®NETOMAC, a worldwide unique
planning system, links up the most
important methods for the analysis of
the dynamics of electrical networks in
the time and frequency domains. The
user can choose from a variety of
modular program configurations.
PSS®NETOMAC offers a wide range of
options for simulating all kinds of
electromagnetic and
electromechanical phenomena in
electrical power supply systems.
Frequency analyses are a sensible
supplement to the working options.
Eigenvalue analysis offers many more
methods, such as the creation of
dynamic reduced network models
through harmonic reduction. A variety
of pre-processing options are provided,
such as the parametrizing of overhead
lines, cables or motors and the
identification of model parameters.
The system analysis facilities are
enhanced by user-defined methods of
optimization.
possibilities:
· simulation of electromagnetic (EMT)
and electromechanical (RMS)
transient phenomena in the time
domain
· steady-state, load-flow and short-
circuit current calculations
· Block-Oriented Simulation Language
(BOSL) for modeling and design of
all kind of equipment
· frequency domain analysis
· eigenvalue / modal analysis,
eigenvalue screening
· simulation of torsional vibration
systems
· parameter identification and
optimization
· reduction of passive / active
networks
· calculation of flicker phenomena
· real-time simulation
· extended user interface for the
graphical input of network and
controllers
· data import from other planning
packages, e.g. PSS®E, INTEGRAL, etc.
· additional formats for data export
and post-processing
· use of standardized manufacturer
DLLs (IEC 61400-27)
User interface
PSS®NETOMAC’s new graphic user
interface is similar to a modern
software development environment.
The analyzed power systems are
structured as projects. In these
projects, both the input data and the
results are administrated.

The functions for evaluating simulation
results are directly integrated into the
user interface. The input data and
results can be displayed in tabular
views. This makes it easy to visualize
the flexible results files and access the
appropriate evaluation functions.
To display signals in transient (EMT) or
stability (RMS) simulation,
PSS®NETOMAC also has an integrated
diagram system. Using drag & drop,
the user can pull signals that are
displayed in the signal explorer directly
into the diagram. The user can also
assign a mathematical formula to each
signal that is used to display and
convert the signals.

Network, model and system data can
also be entered graphically using
PSS®SINCAL or NetCad / Graphical
Model Builder (GMB).
