I N T E G R AT E D P O W E R S Y S T E M A N A LY S I S S O F T W A R E DIgSILENT announces PowerFactory 15.2 DIgSILENT has set standards and trends in power system modelling, analysis and simulation for more than 25 years. The proven advantages of the PowerFactory software are its overall functional integration, its applicability to the modelling of generation, transmission, distribution and industrial grids and the analysis of the interactions of these grids. PowerFactory 15.2 completes the successful series of PowerFactory version 15 releases. The latest release comes with a broad range of new functions, new electrical models and extensions to the existing modelling suite. Special attention has been paid to improved calculation and simulation performance. Moreover, a variety of new features for improved result visualisation and graphical representation has been made available. With its rich analysis and modelling capabilities, PowerFactory is perfectly suited for network planning and operation studies of increasingly smart grids.
