PRODUCT APPLICATION

POWER TRANSMISSION

The transmission grid is currently undergoing a major change to reliably accommodate increasing

amounts of non-dispatchable resources while maintaining operational efficiency and system-wide

cost The displacement of conventional generation by wind and solar power generators imposes new

challenges on the ability of the grid to maintain system stability

PowerFactory offers a complete suite of functions for studying large interconnected power systems and addressing these emerging needs Its fast and robust simulation algorithms can be applied to any AC or DC network topology and support the simulation of new technologies such as converter-based power genera-tion, FACTS, voltage-sourced converters (VSC), HVDC, cables and overhead lines, DC breakers, filters, and various types of MW- and Mvar-controllers and virtual power plants

To maintain such a rich data model, PowerFactory comes with comprehensive planning tools Operation Scenarios can be used to save operating points, thus enabling the user to study different scenarios with just a few clicks Network Variations with time-related Expansion Stages allow the user to model network development projects including the (de-)commissioning of power system equipment Just by changing the study time, the right network configuration will be automati-cally used for calculations

POWER DISTRIBUTION

New challenges such as reverse power flow and voltage rise due to distributed generation, as well

as the integration of E-mobility, have led to an increased complexity in the planning and operation

of distribution networks Handling the associated analysis calls for sophisticated and comprehensive

network optimisation tools

To handle these challenges, PowerFactory offers a wide range of powerful tools and functions Using built-in interfaces, the creation of the network and the input of measurement values can be achieved using GIS and SCADA data Based on this data, the current state of the network can be analysed, for example to evaluate the hosting capacity for load and generation For further op-timisation of the network, there are numerous functions

available, such as tie open point optimisation, voltage profile optimisation and phase balance optimisation

INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS

The design and operation of industrial networks is becoming increasingly challenging with the

integration of more power electronics, sophisticated automation systems, and increased reliance on

island mode operation To face these challenges whilst ensuring continuity of production, electrical

power quality, and the safety of personnel, proper modelling and analysis of the electrical networks

is of the utmost importance

PowerFactory provides a vast array of functionality perfectly suited to the industrial user’s needs such as high precision load flow algorithms, flexible short-cir-cuit calculation features, 4-wire and DC grid model ling, protection modelling and analysis tools, harmonic cal-culations and filter design options In addition, Power-Factory provides up to date stand ards for short-circuit and arc-flash calculations, with clearly presented results

PRODUCT APPLICATION

POWER GENERATION

Reliability, efficiency and stable operation are essential features for the generation which forms

the core of any power system PowerFactory offers tools suitable for the design and operation of a

power plant, providing a broad spectrum of solutions, ranging from the analysis of the electrical and

me chanical behaviour in steady-state and transient conditions, to the optimisation of generator dispatch

Modern power systems bring new challenges to conventional power plants Besides sub-synchronous resonances (SSR) typically related to series compensation, sub- and super-synchronous torsional interactions (SSTI) with converter-based equipment are an increasing challenge Proper analysis of such phenomena can mitigate the risk of damage to equipment and associated high costs

PRODUCT APPLICATION

DISTRIBUTED GENERATION

Power system phenomena such as reverse power flows, voltage dips and swells, varying fault levels

and equipment loading are some of the major challenges associated with distributed generation in

electricity systems

Of particular note are the challenges arising from the interaction between highly volatile generation from renewable sources, a network containing an increasing amount of innovative equipment and an increasing variability in consumption

The comprehensive model library in PowerFactory provides users with the ability to use ready-made models for generators and converters, PV systems with integrated power calculation based on solar radiation, fuel cells, wind generators and battery storage, etc as well as dynamic models (e g IEC, WECC DER_A)

To account for the interaction between consumption and generation in the network, models for single and three-phase loads, consumption energy profiles and electric vehicles can be used

This provides the perfect basis for all the necessary analysis, from unbalanced network assessments and voltage drop/rise calculations, to quasi-dynamic simulations and voltage profile optimisation Using the hosting-capacity calculation, the remaining capacity for renewable energies can be evaluated, while probabilis-tic analysis and reliability analysis can be performed in order to determine the risks of uncertainty

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

GIS INTEGRATION

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) together with Asset Management Systems are the main sources

of network topology and equipment data Many utilities use GIS exports as a basis for the PowerFactory

network model These exports may comprise detailed substation data including topology, line/cable

data, load/generation data and GPS coordinates/schematic diagram information, etc

The symbols of stations, line style and colouring can be customised according to technical properties of the objects The built-in Compare & Merge Tool and the versioning mechanism perfectly support frequent data exchange with GIS

PowerFactory engines can directly be integrated into GIS systems providing calculation functionality such as evaluation of renewable generation connected to the low voltage grid

PowerFactory can interface with SCADA systems as a calculation engine

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

SCADA INTEGRATION

The PowerFactory OPC interface is utilised worldwide for real-time integration of PowerFactory with

SCADA systems The applications range from online state estimation, simulation mode functions

(Dispatcher load flow, Contingency analysis, Switching validation) to dispatcher training simulator

with real-time transient grid simulation Controller manufacturers use the PowerFactory OPC

interface for controller development and hardware-in-the-loop tests, e g for smart grid controllers,

PV or wind park control schemes

SYSTEM INTEGRATION

BUSINESS PROCESS AUTOMATION

PowerFactory supports standard ENTSO-E operation planning processes such as D2CF, DACF and

IDCF (Intraday) The Intraday process runs as a fully-automated, parallelised process The ESB

interface adapter features message-based data exchange such as load forecast, planned generator

dispatch, day-ahead cross-border exchange programs, UCTE-DEF files, EMS snapshots, dynamic line

ratings and market coupling data

Likewise, PowerFactory is the product of choice for business process automation in distribution planning and operation As an example, the combined MV/LV calculation for the distribution grid of a whole country

(>2 000 primary substations and > 25 000 MV feeders and > 845 000 LV grids) has been automated using PowerFactory and bulk exports of GIS data

Processes in strategic and operational network planning that are well supported by DIgSILENT PowerFactory in customised automated solutions
