All equipment can be entered graphically and/or table oriented (like in a excel sheet)
A single line diagram can easily be generated through a very user friendly CAD systems.
Extensive editing functions like undo, redo, delete, copy, move and zoom for processing the network
diagram are available. An element can be moved from one node to an other node without deleting the
element.
OLE functionality: Data and graphic can be moved to and from third party software (like MS-Excel, MSWord). Project documentation was never easier.
The equipment data are entered in dialogs, with plausibility checks provided. A coloring tool helps to
show which data is needed for which analysis (e.g. short circuit, transient stability etc.)
Integrated Variant Manager (insert, delete, append, compare variants, compare results, etc.).
ASCII file or SQL database oriented import/export functions for exchanging network data, topology data
and load data are available.
Interfaces to external programs (e.g. measured data acquisition systems) can be implemented.
Import of almost any raster and vector graphic files (e.g. PCX and DXF files).
Graphics can be exported as raster files (e.g. JPG, which can be used in any internet web browser).
Option for combining and separating networks. Any number of independent network areas and zones are
possible. Each element and node can belong to any independent area and zone.
Extensive functions for network statistics and network documentations are available.
A state of the art library manager with extensive libraries for each element type facilitates data entry.
Integrated chart manager allows to analyze and compare all results from all variants.
Languages: program and manual in English, French, Spanish, German and Italian

Automatic construction of the linearized state space notation for the complete system, including
generators, static loads, control circuits, etc.
Advanced synchronous machine modeling: choose for every synchronous machine one of the five models
infinite, classical, transient, subtransient and general. Saturation curves for both, d-axis and q-axis.
Automatic calculation of eigenvalues, eigenvectors, mode shapes, participation factors for eigenvalues
and state variables.
Text results: results are presented in clear form and can be customized by several output options.
Graphical results: results can be visualized by the fully integrated graphical results manager. Charts can
be easily printed and exported to external programs (e.g. Microsoft Word) by clipboard functions. A variety
of chart options is available.
The only requirement is the NEPLAN load flow module. However, the Small Signal Stability and the
Transient Stability (time simulation) module of NEPLAN complement each other ideally.
The Small Signal Stability module is completely integrated in NEPLAN and uses standard dynamic
element data (like the Transient Stability module).

As an integral part of NEPLAN software, the Voltage Stability module provides 4 approaches for static voltage
stability analysis of power systems: V-Q curves, P-V curves, V-Q sensitivity analysis and Q-V eigenvalue
analysis (modal analysis). This module allows examination of a wide range of system conditions. It is an ideal
tool to provide much insight into the nature of voltage stability problems.

Network Reduction
This module is designed to reduce the size of a network model by replacing sets of buses and the network
elements (lines, transformers,...) that connect them with a smaller but exact, numerically equivalent network. For
a properly chosen set of buses, this equivalent network will have fewer buses and branches than the original,
yet still provide the correct response to faults or load flow calculations in the unreduced portion.
The network can be reduced for
The reduced network gives the same short circuit or load flow results as the original network. Giving the nodes
to be reduced, the program determines the boundary nodes automatically.
