Dynamic Analysis
This module performs the electromechanical (RMS) and electromagnetic transient studies (EMT) to analyze the
dynamic behavior of the power system under various operating conditions and system disturbances. It can be
used in balanced/unbalanced for AC and DC networks. The dynamic module has fast and robust solver being
able to solve very large-scale network with high performances in terms of numerical stability, accuracy and
resolution time.
The NREPLAN built-in library has an extensive predefined controllers (EEE, IEC and CIRED standards), which
make it a handy tool for quick and effective modelling of your system.
The NEPLAN Dynamic Simulator implements a unique mathematical framework for nonlinear system with
fast/slow continuous and discrete (hybrid) systems. The automatic and sophisticated built-in
initialization algorithms avoid struggling with any kind of initialization problems.
