digsilent.PowerFactory v2017 DIgSILENT PowerFactory DIgSILENT has set standards and trends in power system modelling, analysis and simulation for more than 25 years. The proven advantages of the PowerFactory software are its overall functional integration, its applicability to the modelling of generation-, transmission-, distribution- and industrial grids, and the analysis of these grids’ interactions. With the version PowerFactory 2017, DIgSILENT presents a further step towards seamless integration of functionality and data management within a multi-user environment. DIgSILENT PowerFactory is the most economical solution, as data handling, modelling capabilities and overall functionality replace a set of other software systems, thereby minimising project execution costs and training requirements. The all-in-one PowerFactory solution promotes highly-optimised workflow. DIgSILENT PowerFactory is easy to use and caters for all standard power system analysis needs, including high-end applications in new technologies such as wind power and distributed generation and the handling of very large power systems. In addition to the stand-alone solution, the PowerFactory engine can be smoothly integrated into GIS, DMS and EMS supporting open system standards. Power Factory Highlights: Economical all-in-one solution with broad coverage of state-of-the-art power system applications Extensive and flexible modelling capabilities with rich suite of power equipment models and libraries Supports all network representations and phase technologies, i.e. any kind of radial or meshed 1-, 2-, 3- and 4-wire (combined) AC and DC networks Powerful network diagrams and graphic/visualisation features Single- and multi-user environment with full support of teamworking, user accounting, profiles and flexible customisation Unique data management concept including project versioning and archiving mechanisms, master/derived concepts with compare and merge tools Unlimited opportunitites in process optimisation based on integrated scripting functionality Rich interfacing and system integration options (e.g. GIS, SCADA, EMS) Professional support via customer portal or hotline, as well as continuous product maintenance and development
