Power Line Systems develops, sells and supports software for the design of overhead electric power transmission, distribution, and communication lines and their structures.
We are the creators of the industry standard line design programs:
PLS-CADD, PLS-POLE and TOWER.
Power Line Systems was founded in 1984 to provide consulting services and develop engineering software for the structural and geometric design of electric power lines. Since then Power Line Systems has become the world-wide leader in software for transmission lines. We supply software to over 1600 organizations in more than 125 countries.
Our software automates the calculation of design loads and the checking of strength according to most international standards (ASCE, NESC, IEC, CENELEC, etc.). This has been possible because of Power Line Systems close involvement over the past 35 years with the organizations that developed these standards and the feedback from the electric companies that require their use.
