PowerSimulator
Simulation for a reliable grid
Unprecedented reliability matched with the ability to simulate some of the most devastating system events
System Restoration, Ferranti Rise, Weak sourcebusses, Duck Curve – all with the operator in mind.
​
Knowledge transfer from experience, seasoned operators to operators in training that is engaging and realistic for the reliability of the constantly evolving grid.
Advantages
Native Web Solution
Native, scalable cloud infrastructure that allows realistic simulation role playing for multiple logged on users with software already existing in their computer.
Compliance
Stay compliant with NERC PER-005 and 006. Prove operator ability to do a task with realistic simulation so they are ready to respond when grid reliability and lives are at stake and keep critical records of their training.
User Friendly Interface
Operators are up and running fast with the incredibly user friendly interface reducing greatly the learning curve to start working and seeing results.
