PSP-UFU (Power Systems Platform of Federal University of Uberlândia) is a cross-platform, multilingual, Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) with advanced GUI (Graphical User Interface) features and CAD (Computer-Aided Design) tools for power system studies.

The software allows for the construction of any electric transmission network and control systems through the deployment of visual elements.

For further informations access the website.

Windows

Below are the Windows installer (PSP-UFU_x86_32_VC.exe) and .zip downloads (use the .zip file only if the installer fails to run).
It is necessary to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable.
Some recurring problems in Windows:

  • After the PSP-UFU download, the browser can falsely indicate that it is a dangerous file, just click on "Keep file";
  • On Installer openning, Windows again indicates that the file is dangerous, just click on "Run anyway";
  • When openning the program and change its language, an error message is displayed. To solve this problem, just run PSP-UFU as an administrator (right click on the program shortcut and then run as administrator). Change the language again and restart the program;
  • On creating a new project, the work screen is not displayed or a black screen is displayed. Go to the general options and change the renderer to "Device Context". If an error message appears, run the program as an administrator and repeat the process. Restart the program.

Linux

Also are present the package for installation on Debian based Linux systems (eg. Ubuntu, Mint) 64-bit (PSP-UFU_amd64_Alpha2018w15a.deb).

You may need to add the wxWidgets library directory to environment variables.
For this follow one of the methods presented below:

Method I

  • Open the terminal and access the directory that is present PSP-UFU:
cd /usr/local/bin
  • Enter the wxWidgets shared libraries directory in the environment variable:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
  • And then run PSP-UFU on the same terminal section:
./PSP-UFU

This action must be taken every time you want to run PSP-UFU.

Method II

Or, more permanently, insert the command into the file ~/.bashrc:

echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib" >> ~/.bashrc

Make sure your computer has the video drives installed correctly, otherwise the program will not display the workspace for creating and editing single-line diagrams or control block diagrams.
