CYMFLOW - Power Flow Analysis

The CYMFLOW software is the power flow analysis module of the CYME power
engineering software for the analysis of three-phase electric power networks. It is
equipped with powerful analytical options and alternative solution techniques.

Execute power flow analysis on three-phase electric power networks.

Program Features The CYMFLOW program is the main module of the CYME software
for the analysis of industrial and transmission power systems, and it
The objective of a power flow program is to analyze the steady-
has a seamless interface with other modules such as:
state performance of the power system under various operating
conditions. It is the basic analysis tool for the planning, design ■■ CYMFAULT: for fault studies taking into account pre-fault
and operation of any electrical power system, be they distribution, system loading
industrial or transmission networks. ■■ CYMHARMO: for the calculation of the fundamental frequency
voltage and current profiles required for harmonic distortion
The CYMFLOW software utilizes state-of-the-art sparse matrix/
indices calculations
vector methods and multiple solution algorithms:
■■ CYMSTAB: to set the initial condition of the system as required
■■ Full Newton-Raphson by the network control models for transient stability studies
■■ Fast Decoupled ■■ Dynamic Motor Starting module: to account for system wide
■■ Gauss-Seidel voltage drops during induction and synchronous motor starting
studies
