Independently Validated

University of Palermo — Master's Thesis

Electrisim's results have been independently validated against Neplan (commercial software) in two master's thesis from the University of Palermo, confirming accuracy across load flow, short circuit, and other analyses.

Internally Validated

Offshore wind load flow is checked by running the same model through pandapower and OpenDSS: about 70 buses, 35 branches, and 450 MW of wind—demonstrating consistent results across two major solvers.

Commercial-Tool Validation

Electrisim's pandapower engine passes 250+ automated tests. Power flow and short-circuit results for every element are validated against DIgSILENT PowerFactory and PSS Sincal, with strict tolerances on voltage (0.000001 p.u.), angles (0.01°), and loading (0.001%)—continuous integration on every change.

How It Works

Get started in three simple steps

1

Draw Your Network

Drag and drop electrical components onto the canvas to build your power system model. Buses, lines, transformers, generators, loads, and more.

2

Configure Parameters

Set voltage levels, power ratings, impedances, and other parameters for each component through intuitive dialog forms.

3

Simulate & Analyze

Run load flow, short circuit, protection coordination, optimal power flow, reactive power capability (PQ), or other analyses and view results instantly on the diagram and in tables.

Create & Simulate Power Systems in Under 60 Seconds

Watch how easy it is to model complex electrical networks with our intuitive drag-and-drop interface

About the software

Model an electrical system, perform simulation and analyse results in a secure cloud software. You can also run the software locally — check the open-source code. Currently, the power flow, short circuit analysis, protection coordination study (beta), optimal power flow, contingency analysis, controller simulation, time series simulation, economic analysis, and reactive power capability (PQ diagram) are available. More to come soon.

Works in your browser or as a desktop application – you choose which is better for you.

Free & Open-Source

Completely free to use when deployed locally. Built by passionate power engineers and developers, Electrisim democratizes access to professional-grade power system analysis tools for everyone. Learn more about our mission.

Tried and tested solution

The calculation algorithms are based on Pandapower and OpenDSS, which proved to give the same results as other renowned power system analysis software. The Electrisim software is tested by numerous scenarios to verify the proper results.

Secure

The Electrisim cloud runs on Railway, a platform built for production workloads. Railway is SOC 2 Type II and SOC 3 certified, publishes security and compliance details in its Trust Center, and protects traffic with TLS. GDPR-focused processing agreements and stronger enterprise controls are available for teams that need them.

Easy to use

User-friendly graphical user interface (owing to Diagrams.net), based on drag-and-drop functionality for creating electrical diagrams.

Flexible Deployment

Use instantly in your browser with our cloud software, or deploy locally on your computer for complete data privacy and offline capabilities.

Community Powered

Your subscription (from $10/month) directly funds ongoing development and new features. Subscribers help define the roadmap—tell us what you need and we prioritize it. Join a growing community of engineers shaping the future of open-source power system analysis tools.

Maps

Design networks on a geographic map: place buses, generators, transformers and loads at real locations, draw cables between them, and generate an electrical model with automatic cable length calculation. Ideal for offshore wind, distribution and transmission planning.

Inside the Software

Real workflows: solver settings, harmonics, built-in templates, large-scale renewable models, post–load-flow Network Health Dashboard, multi-page Engineering Report PDF (cover, diagram, tables), and more—the same interface you get when you subscribe.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we hear most often. See all FAQs →

  • Yes. You can cancel at any time at Stripe Billing Portal. Your subscription stays active until the end of the current billing period — no questions, no retention calls.
  • Yes — we have a 30-day refund policy. If Electrisim doesn’t work out within your first 30 days, email us and we’ll refund your first payment. We’d rather have happy users than awkward charges.
  • No. The cloud edition runs entirely in your browser at app.electrisim.com. No downloads, no Python setup. If you prefer a local install, the Community Edition is free and fully open source on GitHub.
  • Yes. The Electrisim code on GitHub is under the Apache License 2.0, and the pandapower and OpenDSS engines use permissive BSD-style licences — all free to use, including commercially. Deploy the Community Edition locally at no cost, or subscribe to the cloud service from $10/month for a hosted, zero-setup workflow that also funds open-source development.
  • Yes. Electrisim uses calculation engines from pandapower (Fraunhofer IEE, University of Kassel) and OpenDSS (EPRI). It is continuously validated against commercial software, and has been independently verified — for example, in a master's thesis from the University of Palermo comparing Electrisim with Neplan. Explore more validation work in our Resources section.
  • Load flow (power flow), short-circuit analysis, optimal power flow (OPF), protection coordination (beta), contingency analysis, harmonic analysis, time series simulation, reactive power capability (PQ diagram), and economic analysis — depending on the chosen engine (pandapower or OpenDSS). See the documentation for full capabilities and the roadmap for what's next.
