Workshop for XGSLab expert users
We are proud to announce that we completed the first XGSLab workshop for expert users, held in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz.
2019
XGSLab Seminar
Proud of this XGSLab workshop, an international event with participants from 10 different countries.

We thank all participants again for the warm feedback we received. This seminar gives us new motivation and ideas for the future.
XGSLab has reached a new milestone
We tested the XGSA_TD module with the fast transients involved in failures in gas insulated substations (GIS), and extended its application limit to 100 MHz.

As is well known, these transients can have a rise time of 10 ns, and the significant components of their frequency spectrum can reach frequencies as high as 60 MHz.
We extended the application limit of the XGSA_TD module to 100 MHz. The results we obtained are in good agreement with the results in the literature.
Grounding & Lightning CEATI Conference
Together with our partner EasyPower LLC, we will take part in the 2019 Grounding & Lightning CEATI Conference.

Last year we took part in the CEATI Conference in Anaheim (CA), where we met consultants, manufacturers and representatives of electric utilities, in particular from the US and Canada.
This year we want to confirm our interest in the North American market.
Data export to EMTP
The XGSA_TD module now includes an option to export frequency-dependent self and mutual impedances to EMTP®.

This option makes it possible to simulate, with a rigorous model, the dynamic behaviour of large grounding systems during electromagnetic transients. Another step forward.
2018
XGSLab advances
2018 was an exceptional year for XGSLab: we close it with over 50 new customers worldwide and the new XGSLab 9.0.1 release, which includes the new NETS module.

As we approach the end of the year, we want to give you some previews of 2019.
We want to thank all our customers for the trust and enthusiasm they are sending us, a great way to start 2019.
NETS has been extensively tested and validated and is now almost ready to enter the market. All other modules have also been improved thanks to valuable information from customers.
The greater the number of customers, the better XGSLab will be. We invite all customers to continue to be part of the XGSLab community and to provide suggestions for improving the program. For our part, we will try to give a precise identity to this community and to respond to customers' needs with the right priorities.
XGSLab new module NETS
We are working on a new module: NETS, a very flexible tool to solve fully meshed multi-conductor networks, based on the n-phase system representation.
Read moreShow less
This approach is general and overcomes the classic method of symmetrical components. It can be used to represent power systems as multi-conductor networks, taking into account asymmetrical systems, also in the presence of grounding circuits or circuits with a different number of phases.
The network components (generators, lines, cables, transformers, loads…) are represented with n-port cells, and the connection between cells is obtained by means of n-port buses.
NETS can be used to solve networks in steady state or fault conditions and to calculate voltages and currents or short-circuit currents (three-phase, phase-to-phase, phase-to-phase-to-earth, single-phase-to-earth), with or without fault impedances. In particular, NETS can be used to calculate the fault current distribution.
NETS is therefore a very useful tool to calculate input data for other XGSLab modules (for instance the split factor or the current to earth) and represents the link between XGSLab and commercial software for power system analysis. Discover NETS
XGSLab internal CAD
The new XGSLab release includes a very useful internal CAD: you can load a DXF file or create a new layout with the internal “Draw” tool.
Read moreShow less
The “Draw” option opens a window where you can draw directly in both 2D and 3D mode, using the same keyboard commands as the most widespread CAD tools.
“Draw” lets you draw lines (also with the “ortho” option), circles and arcs with complete interactivity, and makes it very easy to create a new layout or modify an imported one.
Results can now be exported in DXF format with the “Export” command.
