 Foreword (1/3)
• In 1987, the Kraftwerke Mainz-Wiesbaden,
Germany (KMW AG), became the first official and
registered user of the DIgSILENT software.

All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or distributed in any form without permission of the author. Copyright © 208-2015. http:www.fglongatt.org
• The fact that after some 27 years, KMW AG’s
PowerFactory installations are still maintained is a
definite indicator that any possible initial doubt was
unwarranted.
Entrenamiento DIgSILENT PowerFactory: Modelado y Simulacion de Sistemas de Potencia

• In fact, over the past several years, the user base

has grown considerably, establishing a large user
community of highly qualified, experienced and
creative users.
Prof Francisco M. Gonzalez-Longatt PhD | [email protected] | Copyright © 2008-2015, Portoviejo, Ecuador ,26th Octubre de 2015 7//28
 Foreword (2/3)
• PowerFactory extends this flexibility even further via the
provision of powerful scripting tools allowing the user
to develop specific applications according to individual

needs.

• This first issue of the PowerFactory Applications for

Power System Analysis serves as an impressive
demonstration of the wide range of power system
analysis applications that can be handled by the
Entrenamiento DIgSILENT PowerFactory: Modelado y Simulacion de Sistemas de Potencia

PowerFactory software.

• In addition, the solutions described for a certain analysis

task will motivate and help other users to make use of
the software’s flexibility and give guidance regarding
possible solution options.

• The topics presented are also of great interest to the
PowerFactory development team in their endeavours
to optimize further releases and develop even more
flexible functions.
