Power System Division(PSD)
Power Systems Division is one of pioneer divisions of Central Power Research Institute established in 1960. Over the years, the research and consultancy capability of the division has been periodically augmented with diverse online and offline simulation facilities/tools/packages to cater the emerging demand of Power Systems Research & Consultancy.
The Power Systems Division has been playing a vital role in applied research & power systems consultancy services for power utilities and industry. Services encompass a wide spectrum of power system studies like Power systems Planning, Power systems Stability, Load Flow, Short Circuit Studies, Flexible alternating currents Transmission systems devices (FACTS), High Voltage Direct current (HVDC), Grid connectivity, Real time performance analysis of various types of controllers such as FACTS, HVDC, SVC and protection relays, Power systems protection & audit, Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU), Harmonics, Renewable energy, Smart grid and testing services including type testing of relays and testing of phasor measurement units.
The Division consist of an experienced team of Electrical Engineering Professionals with strong academic and research credentials. The division is equipped with Real Time Digital Simulators from M/s RTDS technologies and M/s OPAL RT technologies. The offline simulation packages available with division are PSSE, ETAP, NEPLAN, SIMPOW, MATLAB, etc. This division has NABL accreditation Relay testing laboratory and Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) testing laboratory. Furthermore, the Division has ISO accreditation for consultancy services.
Power Systems Division with its state-of-the-art facilities and latest software tools has been offering consultancy and testing services for more than past five decades’ for government and private electric utilities as well as manufacturers and industries. The division has wide client base spread across pan India and with international foot prints. These Clients are from state and private owned generation, transmission, distribution companies and industries like steel plants, aluminium plants, cement industries, petro-chemical industries etc.
