This video and study case demonstrates the techno-Economical Calculation Function. Two variations including grid expansions are provided each containing it’s own economic data. The Techno-Economical calculation and the Efficiency ratio calculation DPL script are executed for each alternative expansion in turn and the results are examined and compared in the output window....

There is one study case in the contingency folder (High Load), which is related to the corresponding operation scenario. The two variations defining the wind parks are active (“Stage 1 WPEast” is set as recording). The contingency analysis is performed using the “Single Time Phase Option” and considering all the N-1 contingencies for lines and transformers....

In this study case a single feeder has been defined. A cable sizing calculation can be carried out on this feeder in order to improve the results associated with the feeder coming from load flow calculations against thermal loading, short circuit and voltage constraints. A library of cable types has been provided in the project library....

This video shows how to run animated load flow. Direction arrows also show the flow of power or current through the power system network....

This video shows the new feature in PowerFactory 15 enabling the user to display details of protective devices. The report generated can then be exported in HTML or EXCEL format....

The example system describes a 225/90 kV transmission system. Loads are distributed throughout the network, but mainly concentrated at the 90 kV substations. Power plants are connected via step-up transformers to both 225 and 90 kV substations. Long 225 kV transmission lines are compensated with line reactors and some loads are shunt compensated. Two wind turbine groups are also considered (East and West).

In this example a load flow should first be calculated. Notice that feeders are defined throughout the network. Define a voltage profile for a particular feeder noticing that the associated graphic is an active graphic. It is possible to edit the plot parameters and the colouring of each branch in the diagram according to the loading variable of the load flow results.
...

In this example it is possible to run a probabilistic load flow considering coincidence of low-voltage loads. Colouring according to Results...

This video clip shows one of the excellent features in DIgSILENT PowerFactory.
You can show animation of load flow.
Steps are very easy.
Make sure you display direction arrows.
Then activate animated load flow.
Now you can run load flow.

By A Staff Reporter - Thu, 23 February 2012 MUSCAT — Much of Salalah city and its environs were plunged in darkness yesterday evening after a technical glitch that apparently occurred during a temporary switch from gas-based to diesel-power generation, a well-informed local resident said. The blackout began at around 5.30 pm yesterday when citizens and residents were out and about at the start of the weekend holiday. While some establishments switched to backup systems, many other commercial ...
