The focus of this training of st udy is twofold. First, it strives to provide participants with the technical background necessary to understand today‘s power system planning and analysis issues. This is achieved through the transfer of knowledge afforded by Siemens PTI‘s instructors, who are practicing engineers with first-hand experience in the field. Second, participants are taught the skills necessary to use Siemens PTI‘s engineering software (PSS™E) most effectively. A substantial amount of time is dedicated to hands-on computer sessions that allow par ticipants to experiment with real-life examples and gain practical insight into the use and application of engineering analytical tools. This includes the details of system modeling, interpreting results and most importantly, the practical application of PSS™E to the power systems analysis needs of the p articipant‘s company.

It will provide an in-depth understanding of the tools and methods that go into conducting an interconnection study.


The training will be most beneficial to power system planners, designers and operators, as well as to developers of IPPs and regulators who have a working understanding of the physics of power systems. In particular, at least a year of involvement involvement in the use of network analytical tools such as load flows is recommended recommen ded to gain the most benefit from the training. Some background backgr ound in power system dynamics is recommended as well, but is not required.

PSS™NEVA – Eigenvalue and PSS™NEVA an d Modal Analysis course


Interarea oscillation is a typical phenomenon in large power systems. System damping can be improv improved ed by modulation of power thus injecting or consuming extra energy in the system in an appropriate phase. This can be done by modulating power at the power plant – by means of PSS or by affecting the power flow in the system. HVDC and FACTS with their ability to change the power flow directly or indirectly within ms offer the possibility to improve the system dynamic and stability and thus to make better use of the installed capacity. The “NEVA – Eigenvalue and Modal Analysis” module for all products of the PSS™ family (PSS™NETOMAC, PSS™PSS™SINCAL, PSS™PSS™SINCAL, PSS™E) extends the analysis methods for these oscillations (can help increase system stability, allows a deeper view into weak points, determines the best damping locations, offers different damping strategies, etc.).
