Abstract
There are several industrial-grade simulation tools, used for small-signal stability studies, that are commercially available on the market. However, these tools differ in their components modeling and solution methodology. Therefore, different simulation tools can give different results for the same power system model. In this thesis, five industrial-grde simulation tools - PSS/E, PowerFactory, EUROSTAG, SSAT, and MatNetEig - are investigated. The features and capabilities of the five tools are compared based on componenets modeling, numerical methodology, and tool flexibility in terms of data input and output.
