PowerFactory v15.2 closes the successful series of releases for version 15 of the PowerFactory. The latest version comes with a wide range of new functions, new electrical models and extensions to the existing modeling suite. Particular attention has been paid to improving calculation and simulation performance.
In addition, a wide variety of new features have been included to improve the visualization of results and the graphic representation of networks. With its rich analysis and modeling capabilities, PowerFactory is the ideal tool for planning and operating studies of increasingly intelligent networks.
Highlights of PowerFactory v15.2 include, but are not limited to:
- Overall improvement in calculation speed (improved algorithms and improved data structures)
- Significant improvement in the performance of dynamic simulations
- Generic interface for dynamic models programmed in C, with automatic DSL to C converter
- New scheme for coloring heatmap-style network diagrams, totally flexible
- Automated background map representation via the mapping server interface (for example, Open Street Map or Google Maps)
- New navigation panel
- New view for case studies
- Improvement of the Python programming module
- New transmission network analysis tools, including:
- PV curve calculation tool for contingency restricted stress stability analysis
- Calculation of power transfer distribution factors
- Transferability Analysis Tool
- Enhanced tools for analyzing distribution networks, including an improved voltage profile optimization algorithm
- Various improvements in the analysis of power quality and harmonics (eg automatic K-factor calculation of transformers)
- Improvements in reliability analysis, now supporting additional failure models
- New and improved modeling features, among others:
- LV / MV load model supporting inputs in kWh + load profile
- New detailed model of asynchronous machines
- New controller options for generating units, including Q = f (P) and reactive current droop control features
- New control modes for PWM converters
- Support for faults between AC and DC circuits
We are also available for further clarification and to demonstrate these new features.
