This book presents a comprehensive set of guidelines and applications of DIgSILENT PowerFactory
an advanced power system simulation software package for different types of power systems
studies. Written by specialists in the field it combines expertise and years of experience in
the use of DIgSILENT PowerFactory with a deep understanding of power systems analysis. These
complementary approaches therefore provide a fresh perspective on how to model simulate and
analyse power systems. It presents methodological approaches for modelling of system components
including both classical and non-conventional devices used in generation transmission and
distribution systems discussing relevant assumptions and implications on performance
assessment. This background is complemented with several guidelines for advanced use of DSL and
DPL languages as well as for interfacing with other software packages which is of great value
for creating and performing different types of steady-state and dynamic performance simulation
analysis. All employed test case studies are provided as supporting material to the reader to
ease recreation of all examples presented in the book as well as to facilitate their use in
other cases related to planning and operation studies. Providing an invaluable resource for the
formal instruction of power system undergraduate postgraduate students this book is also a
useful reference for engineers working in power system operation and planning.
