Distribution System Analysis

Reliable analytic and planning tools to

improve electrical network performance.
The CYMDIST Distribution
Analysis program is
designed for planning
studies and simulating
the behavior of electrical
distribution networks
under different operating
conditions and scenarios.
It includes several built-in
functions that are required
for distribution network
planning, operation and
analysis.
The CYMDIST Distribution Optional add-on modules allow

to supply the level of detail
needed. Innovative engineering
technologies, industry practices
and standards are at the core
of the CYMDIST algorithms,
flexible user interface and
extensive libraries.
The analysis functions such
as load flow, short-circuit,
and network optimizations
are performed on balanced
or unbalanced distribution
network that are built with any
combination of phases and
configurations.
