PowerWorld Corporation has been participating in NERC’s Geomagnetic Disturbance Task Force (GMDTF) and will be represented at the November 29, 2012 meeting at EPRI’s Washington DC office. The GMDTF has been extremely helpful in providing guidance and industry feedback for development of the leading PowerWorld Simulator GIC software for analyzing the impact of geomagnetically-induced currents […]

June 26, 2012 — Champaign, Illinois, USA — PowerWorld Corporation has developed an innovative software modeling tool to help electric utilities determine the impact a solar storm could have on the electric power grid.

City Water, Light & Power (Springfield, IL) was awarded an Example of Excellence by NERC for using PowerWorld Retriever to enhance System Situational Awareness.

FirstRate™ generator cost models are now available for FERC 715 cases corresponding to the April 2011 filings (MMWG and ERCOT). The WECC edition is available for the April 2010 filings. FirstRate™ helps harness the power of Simulator OPF. Download free samples.

Join the PowerWorld Users Group on LinkedIn. The group is a forum for networking and discussion for users of PowerWorld Simulator, Retriever, and OPS-X software. There is also a sub-group just for those who are members or participants in WECC.

PowerWorld Retriever was selected as the visualization platform for NERC’s ambitious Situational Awareness for NERC, FERC, and Regional entities (SAFNR Version 2). The project will produce a nationwide real-time power grid reliability monitoring site in NERC’s Electricity Sector Information Sharing and Analysis Center.
