Latest Version of Cooper Power Systems CYME™ Power Engineering
Software Improves Computational & Network Loading Performance
New algorithms locate & analyze faults, enhance capacitor placement, & optimize volt/VAR.
WAUKESHA, WI, May 16, 2011 – The enhanced Cooper Power Systems CYME™ Version 5.02 Power
Engineering Solutions Software now allows engineers to plan more effectively for increased distributed
generation penetration, volt/VAR optimization, and aging secondary networks. This latest integrated
suite of software tools also includes new algorithms for locating and analyzing faults, enhancing
capacitor placement, and balancing load.
CYME software provides modeling and analysis of transmission, distribution and industrial electrical
networks. This latest version offers improved computational and network loading performance
capabilities, faster processing time, and one-line diagram editing. Cooper Power Systems, a division of
Cooper Industries, plc (NYSE: CBE), developed the latest enhancements with extensive input from
power engineers around the globe to make CYME 5.02 an even more productive and efficient tool to
meet emerging needs in grid planning and optimization.
By incorporating the comprehensive CYMTCC protective device database (which includes thousands of
devices such as circuit breakers, fuses, reclosers and relays, manufactured by more than 100
companies in North America, Europe and Asia), CYME 5.02 makes it possible to perform a wide range
of analyses requiring protection data. This software also allows engineers to design protection
coordination schemes within a single software package.
“The Cyme 5.02 release demonstrates our commitment to continuing to enhance our already best-inclass Smart Grid solutions. This latest release of our system planning software has features that
address Smart Grid requirements for transmission down to distribution, and helps utilities address trends
around distributed generation, and grid optimization and reliability,” said Mike Stoessl, president of
Cooper Power Systems.
