Use Power Analytics’ DesignBase Software to model your power system, whether an industrial facility or a microgrid.  DesignBase models form the foundation for feasibility studies, detailed design and construction drawings, power system studies, Arc Flash safety compliance, and the transition to real-time analysis, optimization, and control of the power system network.

Paladin DesignBase from Power Analytics offers an extensive library of modules that enable users to perform highly accurate simulations of the electrical infrastructure design under an almost unlimited range of operating conditions, system parameters, and fault scenarios. Extending the basic steady-state and transient analyses, these solution modules offer advanced analytic capabilities for every aspect of a mission critical power system design, allowing users to simulate and fully understand the pre and post operational behavior of their infrastructure.
