DIgSILENT

PowerFactory 15.1

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 the interactions of these grids.

PowerFactory 15.1 is the next development milestone in the successful story of product releases, including various new features and a large variety of major improvements in functionality. Besides, the new release comes with a broad range of new electrical models and extensions to the existing modelling suite. With its rich modelling capabilities for variable loads and distributed generation such as PV, fuel cells, wind generation and battery storage, PowerFactory is perfectly suited for network planning and operation studies of increasingly smart grids.

Company Profile

DIgSILENT is a consulting and software company

providing engineering services in the field of

electrical power systems for transmission,

distribution, generation and industrial plants.

DIgSILENT was founded in 1985 and is a

fully independent, privately owned company

located in Gomaringen/Tübingen, Germany.

DIgSILENT continued expansion by establishing

offices in Australia, South Africa, Italy, Chile,

Spain and France, thereby facilitating improved

service following the world-wide increase in

usage of its software products and services.

DIgSILENT has established a strong partner

network in many countries such as Mexico,

Malaysia, UK, Switzerland, Colombia, Brazil,

Peru, China and India. DIgSILENT services and

software installations have been conducted

in more than 110 countries.

DIgSILENT PowerFactory

DIgSILENT develops the leading integrated

power system analysis software PowerFactory,

which covers the full range of functionality

from standard features to highly sophisticated

and advanced applications including wind

power, distributed generation, real-time

simulation and performance monitoring for

system testing and supervision. For wind

power applications, PowerFactory has

become the power industry’s de-facto standard

tool, due to PowerFactory models and

algorithms providing unrivalled accuracy and

performance.

DIgSILENT StationWare is a reliable central

protection settings database and management

system, based on latest .NET technology.

StationWare stores and records all settings

in a central database, allows modelling of

relevant workflow sequences, provides quick

access to relay manuals, interfaces with manu-

facturer specific relay settings and integrates

with PowerFactory software, allowing for

powerful and easy-to-use settings co-ordination

studies.

PowerFactory Monitor is a flexible performance

recording and monitoring system that copes

easily and efficiently with the special require-

ments for system test implementation, system

performance supervision and the determination

and supervision of connection characteristics.

Numerous Monitoring Systems installed at

various grid locations can be integrated to a

Wide-Area-Measurement-System (WAMS).

PowerFactory Monitor fully integrates with

PowerFactory software.
