This website provides a set of my experiences on use of PowerFactory. I tried to put together in pedagogical way. The objective is give a useful information about the PowerFactory use and increase penetration of this software at all level. The documents here are free to be used in all ways. Just keep the copyright.

DIgSILENT POWERFACTORY

The name DIgSILENT stands for "DIgital SImuLation and Electrical NeTwork calculation program''. PowerFactory, is a powerful calculation program (as written by DIgSILENT) for power system analyses. This a computer aided engineering tool for the analysis of industrial, utility, and commercial electrical power systems.

It has been designed as an advanced integrated and interactive software package dedicated to electrical power system and control analysis in order to achieve the main objectives of planning and operation optimization.

 DIgSILENT Version 7 was the world's first power system analysis software with an integrated graphical one-line interface. That interactive one-line diagram included drawing functions, editing capabilities and all relevant static and dynamic calculation features.
