Power System Simulation Software Market Report 2026

The power system simulation software market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.42 billion in 2025 to $1.54 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of complex transmission networks, increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, expansion of power infrastructure projects, rising need for grid reliability analysis, adoption of digital tools in power planning.

The power system simulation software market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.07 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart grid development, rising demand for energy storage modeling, expansion of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, growing focus on grid decarbonization, increasing use of ai-enabled power analytics. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of cloud-based grid simulation tools, rising integration of renewable energy modeling modules, growing use of real-time grid stability analysis, expansion of microgrid and distributed energy simulation, enhanced focus on grid resilience and reliability.

The power system simulation software market is poised for growth driven by increasing demand for electricity. This demand surge is attributed to rising industrialization, urbanization, and the expanding use of electric-powered devices and vehicles. Power system simulation software plays a crucial role in meeting this escalating demand by optimizing grid performance, integrating renewable energy sources, and improving grid reliability efficiently and sustainably. For instance, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported in January 2024 that global electricity demand grew by 2.2% in 2023 and is projected to increase at an average annual rate of 3.4% through 2026. Therefore, the growing need for electricity is a key driver fueling the expansion of the power system simulation software market.

Leading companies in this market are focusing on developing advanced technologies such as droop simulation technology to enhance their competitive position. Droop simulation technology involves computational methods and models used in power system simulation software to simulate and analyze droop control strategies. These strategies are crucial for regulating load sharing and maintaining stability in interconnected power systems. For example, in April 2024, Flextronics International Ltd., based in Singapore, launched version 4.5 of their Flex Power Designer (FPD) software. This updated version includes enhancements such as a new 3D visualization tool for better understanding power system physical layouts and performance, support for Xilinx Versal Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform (ACAP) devices, and features for optimizing bus voltage to improve system efficiency. Additionally, the software update introduces more accurate thermal models for specific power modules, enabling precise thermal simulations.

In May 2023, Powersys, a French software company, acquired SIMBA to further its mission of accelerating progress in electrification industries. This acquisition strengthens Powersys' ability to deliver innovative solutions that reduce time-to-market, enhance design robustness, and promote sustainability in power system simulation software.
