HELM™-Flow is a simulation and analysis tool for transmission and distribution power systems. It provides the analyst with unique powerful capabilities thanks to the underlying algorithms based on HELM™, the Holomorphic Embedding Load-flow Method Unlike other methods, HELM™ power flow is non-iterative and always guarantees finding the most desirable operating solution (and unambiguously detects when there is no solution).
It´s a specially designed support tool for the professional analyst/planner. Offers quick, accurate and unequivocal solutions for power flow equations.
HELM™-Flow benefits
Friendly-user:
- Very intuitive and easy to use GUI. Improved visuals allow users to identify and evaluate quickly the network model and power state.
- The software is installed and starts running immediately.
- It uses case import and export standard formats which makes it a perfect complement for already existing tools.
Provides new comprehension levels:
- Computes large power Flow cases with more than 70.000 nodes.
- Computes accurately PV / QV curves, even very close to the point of collapse.
- Contingencies analysis totally reliable without worrying in convergence problems.
- Sigma Plots, visual diagrams based on the HELM theory provides long distance evaluation to the voltage collapse quickly and visually.
Reliable results:
- No more uncertainties on “convergence problem”.
- A reliable and unique non-iterative constructive method that finds the correct operative solution. Even for unsolvable cases, in which power flow is unfeasible, HELM™-Flow delivers rich actionable information involved in a collapse, helping planners/operators to quickly understand risky scenarios and the effect of important contingencies.
Time saving:
- New tools and layered approach for a simplified analysis.
- Cases deconstruction and optimization in a fraction of time as compared to conventional iterative tools.
