PSS®E is a trusted leader in the power industry for electric transmission system analysis and planning. Used by transmission planners, operations planners, consultants, and others in over 115 countries worldwide, PSS®E is powerful, customizable, and fully-featured. With the addition of integrated node-breaker support in version 34, PSS®E continues to lead the market in advances in electric transmission modeling and simulation software.
In addition to the base PSS®E software
package, there is a rich ecosystem of optional add-on modules that
provide extended capabilities to PSS®E users. See the “Add-On Modules”
Tab for more information. ***Siemens PTI has recently invested heavily
in the development of many new add-on modules, and we have even more
coming out soon, so be sure to check the “Add-On Modules” Tab
regularly!***
