PSLF Software Training Information

PSLF Software Courses

GE's Positive Sequence Load Flow software (PSLF) is designed to provide comprehensive and accurate load flow, dynamic simulation and short circuit analysis. Using this tool, engineers can analyze transfer limits while performing economic dispatch. PSLF is ideal for simulating the transfer of large blocks of power across a transmission grid or for importing or exporting power to neighboring systems.

We offer hands-on classes that help you unlock the power of PSLF.

Prerequisites for All Classes:

  • Background in power systems analysis
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent experience
  • Knowledge of a text editor such as Textpad
  • Familiarity with Microsoft® Windows®

If you do not have a background in power systems analysis or stability, we offer both courses.

Prequisites for Mechanics of Running Dynamic Simulation Course and Dynamic Simulation Applications Using PSLF:

  • Some stability background and network analysis
  • Familiarity with generator/exciter/governor modeling

Training Location & Times

  • All classes are held at the Salt River Project Training Center, ISBN Building, Tempe, AZ, unless otherwise posted.
  • Classes run from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm each day.
NOTE: We evaluate class attendance about a month prior to the class so we recommend all registrants get their registrations in at least one month prior to the start of the class to avoid class cancellations.
