DIgSILENT PowerFactory
Power Factory Study
Advanced network studies in DIgSILENT PowerFactory, from load flow and protection to harmonics, RMS and EMT simulations, for utilities, renewable plants and industrial networks.
PowerFactory capabilities
- Load flow and short circuit
- RMS and EMT dynamic simulation
- Harmonics and power quality
- Protection and quasi-dynamic studies
Overview
Advanced modelling for complex networks
Modern networks with large shares of inverter-based generation, storage and power electronics need studies beyond basic load flow. PowerFactory brings steady-state, dynamic, harmonic and protection analysis together in one integrated model.
DCPS develops detailed PowerFactory models and performs the studies your project requires, whether that is a renewable plant connection, an industrial network with large drives, or a utility planning assessment. We use quasi-dynamic simulation to evaluate performance across time-series profiles, and automate repetitive scenarios with scripting for consistent results.
Findings are translated into practical recommendations on equipment, controls and settings.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PowerFactory and PSS®E?
Both are widely used for power system analysis. The choice usually depends on the utility requirement and study type. PowerFactory is often chosen for integrated harmonic, protection and EMT studies.
When are EMT studies needed?
EMT studies are needed for fast phenomena such as switching transients, transformer energization and detailed inverter control interaction.
Can you convert models between software?
Yes, we can rebuild networks in PowerFactory from other formats and validate the results against the original model.
Do you provide the project file?
Yes, the PowerFactory project is delivered with the final report.
