Generic PowerSimulator™

Using the PALCO generic power system model, operators get real-life experience of the theoretical issues. Generic PSM is used in the online training courses (EOPS™) and instructor-led courses throughout the world, including:

- WECC Classes
- PJM Interconnection
- SOS International NERC classes

The Generic PowerSimulator with EPRI OTS allows operators to obtain experience in handling emergency and abnormal operation conditions on a hypothetical power system without the risks of dealing with a live power system. The simulator responds in real-time with flows and voltages updated every second. The operator controls the simulator using a set of one-line diagram displays and a system map.

The Generic PowerSimulator has transformed classroom training; turning boring lecture-based presentations into dynamic hands-on learning sessions. Students in small, medium and large classrooms with as many as 100 participants can now be actively engaged in real-time simulations using realistic simulators.

Within a single class period, students can learn power system principles, apply them to a sample power system and experience a range of normal, emergency and system restoration scenarios. They can learn from their peers and mistakes can be made without endangering people or equipment.
