Foreword (1/3)
• In 1987, the Kraftwerke Mainz-Wiesbaden,
Germany (KMW AG), became the first official and
registered user of the DIgSILENT software.
• 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.
• 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.
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
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.
Foreword (3/3)
• “We thank all authors who have contributed to this
book, initiated by Francisco Gonzalez-Longatt and
José Luis Rueda, for sharing their valuable
PowerFactory experiences and solutions”.
• 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.

Introduction: Interfacing
• Various possibilities exist to interface the power
system model and simulation engine of
PowerFactory.
• These interfaces open applications for co-
simulation, real-time simulation for controller
hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) set-ups or automation
and control of simulation.
