Analyzing and planning of today's complex electrical networks require the use of computer-aided engineering tools. In recent years, the rapid advances in microcomputer hardware technology have increased the availability of power application software on the personal computer, once the domain of mainframes and minicomputers, enabling efficient and cost-effective power system analysis. Power application software for personal computers now exists for tasks ranging from steady-state analysis to on-line Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. The new generation of power application software on personal computers exploits the PC's interactive environment with menu and dialog-box techniques, resulting in extremely user-friendly man-machine interfaces and increasing user productivity. This article focuses on features of POSCODAM, a power system planning and analysis software, which has been developed for an IBM PC and has been in use for the past 6 years in the electric power industry. At present, POSCODAM is capable of handling networks of up to 800 buses and 2,000 elements.
