PowerFactory

DIgSILENT PowerFactory for

Solar Power Applications

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 features all relevant modelling capabilities and functions for
efficiently studying the grid integration of solar generation (PV systems,
solar thermal, and storage). It combines classical distribution system study
functions such as voltage drop/rise calculation, unbalanced network
assessment, fault level calculation and protection selectivity analysis.
PowerFactory also offers modern analysis tools featuring quasi-dynamic
simulations, voltage plan optimisation as well as reliability analysis and
power quality assessment.
