Paladin DesignBase Power
System Optimization platform is a security-constrained
optimal power flow software that also serves as a tool
for optimal sizing and placement of reactive power resources
(reactors, capacitors, and SVC). The Paladin® DesignBase™
Solutions Module library includes proven, powerful solutions
a wide range of power systems optimization tasks
It is capable of handling power systems comprising
thousands of buses, and has been used to optimize
the planning and operation of some of the world's
largest and most complex power systems.
PSO understands the electrical engineer's design
intent and optimization objectives, while also
taking into account the physical and operating
constraints of their power system infrastructure.
Based on this information, it intelligently
provides recommendations to optimize your power
infrastructure -- taking into account normal
operation parameters, as well as multiple, varying
configurations.
It can also assist engineers in minimizing
system losses, perform economic dispatch, minimize
load shedding, plan reactive power resources,
and optimize system voltage profile with minimum
control setting adjustments. PSO can also optimize
switching strategies to minimize the effect
of overloaded lines and sudden increases in
load conditions.

PSO can help electrical engineer refine and optimize
their power infrastructure in numerous ways:
- Minimization of active power losses, controls
movement, load shedding, swing bus generation,
reactive power resources allocation costs, and
total system losses
- Maximization of active power flow across
an interface, loads at a group of buses, and
active power transfer between two groups of
buses
- Optimized control settings and reactive power
resource allocation
