About PSP-UFU
PSP-UFU (Power Systems Platform of Federal University of Uberlândia) is a multi-platform, multilingual, free and open source (FOSS) software with advanced GUI (Graphical User Interface) features and CAD (Computer Aided Design) tools for studies of electrical power systems.
The software allows the construction of any electrical transmission network and control systems through the deployment of visual elements. For viewing the results, the program offers linked text elements on the main screen and also table and graph editors.
The PSP-UFU aims to provide efficient simulation tools for research and education purposes, in addition to industrial applications in electrical power systems.
Briefly, software can perform the following studies:
- Power flow
- Short circuit calculation
- Harmonics
- Transient and dynamic stability
