Experience and Wisdom
This Section shows how the experience and wisdom of
several people is contained in The Book”

Experience and Wisdom
• This book combines years of technical/practical
experience of more than 50 experts
users/developers of DigSILENT PowerFactory (>50
countries) and deep understanding of academic on
power system analysis.

Foreword
This Section presents the key
aspects of the foreword.
It is written by Dr. M. Schmieg Dr.-Ing. Martin Schmieg
Managing Director bei
DIgSILENT GmbH Stuttgart Und
Umgebung Deutschland

Foreword (1/3)
• In 1987, the Kraftwerke Mainz-Wiesbaden,
Germany (KMW AG), became the first official and
registered user of the DIgSILENT software.
• The fact that after some 27 years, KMW AG’s
PowerFactory installations are still maintained is a
definite indicator that any possible initial doubt was
unwarranted.
• In fact, over the past several years, the user base
has grown considerably, establishing a large user
community of highly qualified, experienced and
creative users.

Foreword (2/3)
• PowerFactory extends this flexibility even further via the
provision of powerful scripting tools allowing the user
to develop specific applications according to individual
needs.
• This first issue of the PowerFactory Applications for
Power System Analysis serves as an impressive
demonstration of the wide range of power system
analysis applications that can be handled by the
PowerFactory software.
• In addition, the solutions described for a certain analysis
task will motivate and help other users to make use of
the software’s flexibility and give guidance regarding
possible solution options.

Foreword (3/3)
• “We thank all authors who have contributed to this
book, initiated by Francisco Gonzalez-Longatt and
José Luis Rueda, for sharing their valuable
PowerFactory experiences and solutions”.
• The topics presented are also of great interest to the
PowerFactory development team in their endeavours
to optimize further releases and develop even more
flexible functions.

What is going on
Simulations?

• Simulation and analysis of super large networks
with wideband models
– Electromagnetic and electromechanical transients
• Simulation of super distribution grids (Smart
network)
• Challenges
– Data and data portability between power system
applications
– Visualization and analysis of huge systems
– Parallel computations
– Real-time computations
– Online analysis
– Unification of simulation methods and environments
– Multi-domain simulations

Real-Time simulator
• Hydro-Québec develops HYPERSIM: a real-time
simulator
– Develop, improve and assess new protection and control
concepts
– Optimize the operation and the maintenance power
systems
– Decrease the time required to commission protection
relays and control systems (FACTS, HVDC, SVC, etc..)
– Reproduce events that occurred in the power system by
using the actual protection and control systems

Introduction: Interfacing
• Various possibilities exist to interface the power
system model and simulation engine of
PowerFactory.
• These interfaces open applications for co-
simulation, real-time simulation for controller
hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) set-ups or automation
and control of simulation.
