DIgSILENT PowerFactory (B257) 13.1

DIgSILENT PowerFactory (B257) is a professional power system analysis environment used by utilities, consultants, and researchers to plan, design, and operate electrical networks. It supports modeling across transmission, distribution, generation, and industrial systems, with tools for steady-state and time-domain studies.

Key capabilities include:

• Load flow (balanced and unbalanced) and short-circuit analysis in line with common standards
• Dynamic stability simulations (RMS and EMT) for generators, controls, and power electronics
• Protection modeling and coordination studies
• Harmonic and power quality analysis
• Contingency and reliability assessments, as well as voltage stability and modal analysis
• Optimal power flow and network optimization
• State estimation and scenario-based planning

The platform offers scripting and automation through Python and built-in languages, a database-driven project structure with study cases and variants, and interfaces for data exchange (for example, CIM) and integration with external tools. Typical applications include renewable integration and hosting capacity assessments, interconnection studies, microgrid analysis, grid code compliance, and operational planning.
