​Our initiative begins with Automate—a powerful workflow automation application designed to enhance the efficiency of routine PSCAD™ studies. By leveraging PSCAD's Automation Library and integrating it with other technologies, Automate helps users achieve greater productivity in their simulation studies and analyses. Disclosure​
​Through its simple and intuitive graphical user interface, Automate helps users effortlessly setup simulation sets, execute them with ease and efficiency, and generate detailed, professional reports in Microsoft Word. With its open template structure, opportunities to utilize Automate are virtually limitless, with renewable energy integration studies being just one example. To get you started with inverter-based resource (IBR) interconnection studies, Automate comes with a few built-in templates, with more templates to come!
​

Designed for ease of use, Verify enables users to effortlessly visualize simulations results and validate it against grid-code requirements and benchmark it against data from other simulators or field tests.
​​Key Features of Verify​
-
Verify Grid-code Compliance and Record Audit Report: Assemble compliance criteria using built-in verification functions and PSAPPS instantly verifies, generates reports, and saves the setup for future projects.
-
Visualize and Benchmark Simulation Results: Effortlessly configure and compare simulation results from multiple platforms—including PSCAD and PSSE—to generate overlay plots for benchmarking. Automatically detect discrepancies using an intuitive interface that ensures seamless review and evaluation and export the complete audit trail for easy record-keeping.
-
Report Generation: Automatically collect overlayed plots and create a Microsoft Word report using a customizable template.
-
Updates and Revisions: Effortlessly revise and update benchmark reports with the new simulation results from the revised cases.
-
Save and Resume Functionality: Save configurations and resume benchmarking seamlessly, ensuring continuity and efficiency.
-
Prebuilt Templates: Get started quickly with default templates. Customize them to fit your specific study needs.
Aggregate simplifies the calculation of equivalent cable parameters in renewable energy plants. Through an intuitive GUI, it automates this process by combining advanced graph theory with the well-established aggregation method proposed by Ed Muljadi et al. (NREL). Users simply input or point to the plant's topology data—Aggregate then computes the equivalent cable impedance, in just a few clicks.
​Key Features of Aggregate​
-
Import Plant Data: Import commonly available plant cable data document (PDF) for quick, error-free data entry
-
Cable Library: Maintain reusable cable library to avoid re-entry in future projects
-
Visualize plant cable layout: Auto-generated single-line diagram with cable types and distances for quick, visual inspection of the imported data. Edit data quickly and easily through the interface.
-
Industry Standard Aggregation Algorithm: Graph-theory-driven aggregation of collector system impedance using industry standard aggregation procedure
-
Batch processing: efficient batch edits for bulk changes. Very useful large plants with hundreds of cables
-
Document: Export to PDF or Excel for easy documentation of the SLD and post-processing of plant data
-
Save and Resume: Save the configuration for quick and easy revisions
