Description
This training gives the participants an introduction to the handling and basic calculation functions of PowerFactory.
It begins with the introduction of the handling and the basics for modelling a network. Afterwards a load flow calculation is executed to analyse the network. Occurring voltage problems will be eliminated by implementing different control strategies.
With the short-circuit current calculation according to IEC60909, typical 3-pole and 1-pole faults at different fault locations are simulated. Thereby, the short-circuit rating of the equipment as well as different earthing concepts are evaluated. The introduction of the tools for network planning and network operation serves as a further training content. With these tools it is possible to plan future expansion scenarios and to perform calculations on the same network for different operating cases.
The training ends with additional information on the base package and some tips & tricks for working with PowerFactory.
Important hint: This training was created for PowerFactory 2023. Older versions may have a different structure in the menus (example: new context menu in PowerFactory 2023) or do not yet have some of the functions presented (example: PDF reports in PowerFactory 2023). The PowerFactory exercise projects provided in the course were created with PowerFactory 2023 and cannot be imported with older versions.
