Perform a load flow with the Newton-Raphson method in PSSE, opening SLD and SAV files, configuring taps and shunts, and obtaining a converged result within limits.
Input branch, generator, and load parameters into psse for a 132 kV system, including swing bus pgen/qgen and scheduled voltage, preparing for fast decoupled load flow.
Explain N-0 contingency analysis by solving a Newton-Raphson power flow with lock taps, verifying no undervoltage or overloading, and confirming current loadings below 80%.
Explore transmission line losses that reduce voltage along a long power line as energy dissipates as heat. Define the Ferranti effect as the receiving-end voltage exceeding the sending-end voltage.
Master Power System Analysis Using PSS®E (PSSE)
Want to learn how real power system studies are performed in industry?
This course teaches you how to use PSS®E power system simulation software (PSSE) to carry out practical power system analysis—the same type of work done by engineers in utilities and consulting firms.
You won’t just learn theory. You’ll learn how to apply it using simulations.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
Perform load flow (power flow) analysis
Run short circuit (fault) studies
Build and modify power system networks in PSSE
Understand how electrical grids behave under different conditions
Interpret simulation results with confidence
Why This Course Stands Out
Many courses are either too theoretical or too superficial.
This course focuses on what actually matters:
Step-by-step PSSE simulations
Clear explanation of key concepts
Practical examples based on real engineering tasks
You’ll develop skills you can use in real projects or job roles.
Who This Course is For
Electrical engineering students
Graduate engineers entering the power industry
Engineers who want to learn PSS/E (PSSE) from scratch
Anyone interested in power system studies and grid analysis
Why Learn PSS®E (PSSE)?
Tools like PSSE are widely used for:
Transmission system analysis
Grid planning and operation
Fault and stability studies
Learning this software gives you a valuable, job-relevant skill in the power engineering field.
Course Approach
This course is designed to be:
Practical – focused on simulations, not just theory
Structured – easy to follow, step by step
Efficient – no unnecessary content
You’ll go from beginner to confidently running your own analyses.
