PowerWorld Simulator: Getting Started

 

The key to using Simulator is to recognize that it has two distinct modes Edit Mode and Run Mode. The Edit Mode is used to construct new simulation cases or to modify existing cases, while the Run Mode is used to perform the actual power system simulation. You can easily switch between the modes using the Edit Mode and Run Mode buttons in the Mode ribbon group.

If you are new to Simulator and seek a quick means of familiarizing yourself with it, we recommend starting with the tutorials; see Tutorial Links

Sample cases are provided with the software installation in the C:\Users\Public\Documents\PowerWorld\Simulator version\Sample Cases directory. If you are interested in learning by doing, you may wish to open one of the sample cases and try the different Simulator features.
