Chapter 1
Program Overview
‘The calculation program PowerFactory, as written by DIgSILENT, 's a computer aided
engineering tool for the analysis of industrial, utility, and commercial electrical power sys-
tems, 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 ob-
jectives of planning and operation optimization.
‘The name DIgSILENT stands for “Digital Simulation and Electrical NeTwork calcula
tion program". DIgSILENT Version 7 was the world's first power system analysis soft
wate with an integrated graphical one-line interface. That interactive one-line diagram
included drawing functions, editing capabilities and all relevant static and dynamic calcu-
lation features.
‘The PowerFactory package was designed and developed by qualified engineers and
programmers with many years of experience In both electrical power system analysis and
programming fields. The accuracy and validity of the results obtained with this package
has been confirmed in a large number of implementations, by organizations involved in
planning and operation of power systems (please see the reference fist).
In order to meet today's power system analysis requirements, the DIgSILENT power
system calculation package was designed as an integrated engineering tool which pro-
vides a complete 'walk-around! technique through all available functions, rather than a
collection of different software modules, The following key-features are provided within
one single executable program:
1 PowerFactory core functions: definition, modification and organization of cases;
core numerical routines; output and documentation functions
2. Integrated interactive single line graphic and data case handling
3 Power system element and base case database
4 Integrated calculation functions (2.9, line and machine parameter calculation based
‘on geometrical or nameplate information)
5 Power system network configuration with interactive or on-line access to the SCADA
system
6 Generic interface for computer-based mapping systems
By using just a single database, containing all the required data for all equipment within
a power System (e.g. line data, generator data, protection data, harmonic data, controller
data), PowerFactory can easily execute any or all avallable functions, all within the
same program environment. Some of these functions are load-flow, short-circuit calcula-
tion, harmonic analysis, protection coordination, stability calculation and modal analysis.
