We have made lots of efforts to implement many functionalities in CCU PowerStudio, but we still view it as like a young kid and has various areas to improve. At this point, rather than close door to develop it, we prefer to partner with power utility companies, vendors, researchers and consultants to improve it. For details how to partner with us, please go to “Contact Us”. The below is general roadmap for the development of CCU PowerStudio:

1. Continue to find and fix bugs on coding, improve code efficiency and maximize the computing speed.

2. Keep improving the accuracy on the existing power flow models, short-circuit models and electromagnetic models.

3. Implement more models into power flow module, short-circuit module and electromagnetic module, such as distributed generation (battery storage, wind and diesel generator) and synchronous generator. Especially, for electromagnetic module, not only more dynamic device models need to be implemented, but lots of control modules need to be researched and implemented. As USA EPRI has proposed multiple DER models, we will work with vendors and customers to verify their legitimacy and accuracy, and then implement them into our module.

4. Keep improving feeder visualization, implement substation oneline diagram, and provide more flexible and friendly interface to the users。

5. Although CCU PowerStudio just focuses on distribution system so far, its models and algorithms can be used to simulate high voltage transmission system as well. So, our ultimate goal is to develop CCU PowerStudio into a software which can combine both transmission system and distribution system. Therefore, it can provide power system planning a complete and thorough platform. Based on our many years’ experience on power system planning, we realize the needs of such platform become stronger and stronger. So CCU PowerStudio will make efforts to fill in this gap eventually.
