Power
Systems Laboratory
The Power Systems Laboratory includes the following specialized
reserach and training equipment:
Alstom
ESCA Dispatcher Training Simulator (DTS)
Alstom
ESCA is a major worldwide vendor of Energy Management
System software for the electric power industry. The Alstom
ESCA Dispatcher Training Simulator (DTS) has all the functionality
of actual control center software with the addition of
a power system simulator that provides simulated signals
to the control center software. An entire "real-time
simulation'' can be hosted on Alstom ESCA's DTS. As the
power system evolves in time, the DTS will provide all
the signals that a dispatcher would receive in an actual
control center.
Electric
Power Research Institute (EPRI) PSAPACK
The
EPRI Power System Analysis Package (PSAPACK) is used by
utilities and government/academic research laboratories
to study large-scale electric power systems. EPRI's PSAPACK
includes the following industrial-grade simulation suites:
IPFLOW:
Interactive Power Flow
SSSP: Small-Signal Stability Program
ETMSP: Extended-Transient and Mid-term Stability
Program
DIRECT: Direct Method Transient Stability Program
LTS: Long-term Stability Program
VSTAB: Voltage Stability.
