The Paladin® DesignBase™ Solutions Module library includes solutions that enable users to conduct balanced three-phase and single phase load flow studies on almost any network configuration imaginable.

This object-oriented load flow program uses sparsity techniques for the load flow solution; it applies bus admittance matrix plus two iterative methods (fast decoupled, or Newton-Raphson) to obtain the desired results at all buses in the network. Key features include:

• Object-oriented technology
• Advanced automatic voltage control
• Programs work off a common drawing
• Fully verified and validated
• 10CFR50 Appendix B compliant
• 3- and 1-phase load flow (both fast decoupled, and Newton-Raphson methods)
• Per unit or Actual input choices
• Loop, radial, and multi-islanding networks
• Automatic error checking
• Auto coloring of one-line based on results
• Text, color, and graphical reporting of results
• Built-in debugging tools, graphical browser, transformer sizing, and automatic input data conversion
• Back annotation of results with arrows
• No voltage, frequency, or impedance limits
• Multi-scenerio analysis
• User-defined violation flagging and demand factors
• Normal, capacitor, and capacitor-reactor motor starting
• Multi-motor starting (both fast decoupled, and Newton-Raphson methods)
• Active and Reactive Optimal Power Flow
• N and N-1 security AOPF
• Security-constrained active load flow and economic dispatch
• Adjusts settings to keep voltage limits
• Load forecasting
• Monthly and yearly forecast; no limit on the number of years forecasted
• Multi-regression with horizon estimate
• Stochastic time series technique
