Tms320 mentioned the new version Netmac and Neva in PSS/E environment. I would like to tell the old story those tools. Remembering the history sometimes encourage us to look forward. 2 Q/ a j9 E- N0 D4 b$ H 2 j( C+ [: |& G/ {' KNetomac was a special simulation tool for Siemens before around 1995. Since 1996 Siemens tried to promoted and sell it. Netmac was developed by Prof. Kulicke(not sure the spelling is correct or not) in Berlin Technical university. Many of his student contributed to that program. It is very strong tools, however the GUI interface never become good enough to public. 9 f8 i% @8 M2 o: Z+ N6 I6 ~- R6 ]( T0 c; {* X5 k; H- |9 U3 c% J: K
There are several Chinese guys also contributed to Netomac, as far as I know, such as Dr. Xianzhang Lei (now VP of XJ) on optimization. Around 1998, Xiaobo Wang wrote Neva for small signal analysis. I personally never use NEVA, but I knew such tools and I guess it used a similar algorithm as SSAT of DSA. Dr. Xiaobo Wang later left Germany and move to North America. 3 H! S) N$ t& \4 X* ?

PTI later was purchased by Siemens. Now Siemens add all those Netomac function to PSS/E. About 1-2 years ago, I heard the Siemens people went to USA to add the NEVA on PSS/E. Now it become true. Hopeful PSS/E is becoming a more powerful simulation program. ! K T7 E* P0 P& u) C( i
