WindMil Milsoft software is used for planning and analyzing electric distribution systems. This industry-leading circuit modeling software accurately represents a complete and detailed circuit model, including individual customers, in-line and end-point devices, and even distributed generation.

Analytical Capabilities

Its analytical features include:

• Power flow and voltage drop modeling

• Reliability analysis

• Probabilistic and sectional studies

• Short-circuit and fault current calculations

• Protective device coordination

• Arc Flash hazard analysis

It provides geographic display capabilities and MultiSpeak® interfaces to CIS, SCADA, and AMR/AMI data sources. For over two decades, WindMil has proven to be a reliable foundation for electric distribution system planning and analysis and is currently used by thousands of utilities, consulting firms, universities, and vendors in the United States and internationally.

Milsoft GIS

WindMil Milsoft Engineering software enables you to perform system studies. Specific studies aimed at reducing power losses and optimizing the network are directly linked to cost savings. Combined with the ability to run studies whenever needed, you can achieve faster results while saving both time and money.

Engineering analysis in WindMil models the electrical network as a precise and detailed GIS-based system model. All electrical elements, as well as map objects such as poles and structures, can be represented in the model. Landbase® provides accurate geographic background files for your model. Roads, counties, aerial imagery, and many other landbase file types can be seamlessly linked to the model. Streaming Landbase capability and online maps from Microsoft Bing can also be displayed behind your system model.

Arc Flash Hazard Analysis

With WindMil Engineering applications, you can build a library of information for protective device structures and configurations, including intelligent electronic devices and standard fuse practices. Arc Flash analysis follows IEEE 1584 standards and allows you to test various scenarios to improve service quality while keeping line workers safe.

System Planning Studies

WindMil engineering analysis software excels when used for planning studies. Use location-based data to forecast future loading, create projects within project management to reflect planned changes and alternatives, and utilize advanced data boxes and note options to develop a detailed system map for visualizing proposed modifications.

When managing a power network, nothing is more effective than a visual working model that can be referenced, shared, and used to develop creative solutions. Whether for routine maintenance, complex upgrades, or new projects, layered maps communicate information clearly and effectively.

Single Point of Entry

The Milsoft GIS module (WindMilMap) is the cornerstone of the Milsoft product suite, enabling a true single point of entry for electrical model data. Whether edits are made in the field using Milsoft Field Engineering or in the office using the ESRI editor, changes seamlessly appear in Milsoft Outage Management Systems and Engineering Analysis.

GIS to Billing Integration

Integrate your customer billing system with WindMil Milsoft GIS through real-time exchange of service location and customer billing connections, service status, coordinates, transformer bank location data, and polygon area information. This integration enhances geographic and situational awareness of service locations and transformer banks.

LightTable Software

LightTable for Windows enhances usability in protective coordination studies. Protective coordination—adjusting time-current curves—is both an art and a science. LightTable simplifies the scientific part.

LightTable Features

• Automatically identifies intersection points among multiple curves

• Automates fuse and recloser coordination based on user-defined rules

• Single-point data entry for overcurrent devices

• Displays time values at specified fault levels

• Shows time differences at a given fault value

• Removes curves starting or ending at a specified amp value

• Shifts curves using time and amp multipliers/adders

• User-defined markers at specified fault levels

• Adds points to selected curves

• Subtracts one curve from another

• Saves modifications in group files
