Description
Please note: Previous experience in PowerFactory basics and some experience in handling of PowerFactory time domain simulation functions, or attendance at an introductory course, is essential. The Self E-Learning course Introductory Course: Load Flow and Short Circuit Calculation, for example, can be used to acquire the necessary basic knowledge.
Python is a programming language that can be used to control PowerFactory. It is commonly used to automate the execution of time-consuming simulations, but its uses extend far beyond that. Python can also be used to process results, or to implement a routine that makes sequential changes to a network, calling PowerFactory’s analysis functions at each step.
This course provides a concise and efficient introduction to the fundamental aspects of writing scripts within PowerFactory using Python. The course covers basic concepts, syntax, accessing and modifying objects from within the code, automating a series of calculations and presenting the results, etc.
A number of scripts will be created during the course to inspire your own ideas or to adapt to specific requirements.
Important hint: This training will be held for PowerFactory 2025. Older versions may have a different structure in the menus or do not yet have some of the functions presented. The PowerFactory exercise projects provided in the training were created with PowerFactory 2025 and cannot be imported with older versions.
