While traditional power flow asks "What happens?", OPF asks "What is the best scenario?". It uses linear and non-linear programming to minimize a cost function (e.g., fuel cost or losses) by adjusting generator outputs, tap changers, and phase shifters, all while maintaining security limits.
Safety is paramount. The SC module calculates symmetrical and asymmetrical fault currents. It supports both ANSI (American) and IEC (International) standards, which is crucial for multinational utilities. This data directly informs protective relay settings and equipment rating specifications. Psse Software
