Case Study-Modern Power Systems Engineering, Planning, Operational Optimization, and Advanced Analysis

Today, DIgSILENT PowerFactory software has become a standard and indispensable tool in regional power companies, distribution utilities, contracting firms, and consultancies across many countries worldwide.This book addresses more specialized and complex topics. At the beginning of each chapter, the theoretical aspects of the subject are explained, followed by several examples and scenarios to help internalize the concepts for the reader.The authors’ aim in compiling this book has been to bridge the gap between advanced academic theories and the practical needs of the power industry. Every researcher knows well that understanding and analyzing each topic covered in this book’s chapters requires studying dozens of pages and specialized references.Therefore, relying on their own practical and theoretical experience in both industry and academia, the authors have endeavored to present these complex concepts in the form of concise, practical, and condensed lesson summaries. Then, by repeatedly solving real-world problems step-by-step in the professional DIgSILENT software environment, they reinforce and solidify these concepts in the reader’s mind.A “hands-on, step-by-step learning” approach is the core foundation of this book.We hope to have been successful in achieving this important goal—facilitating the understanding of complex power system concepts and empowering engineers and students to apply this knowledge in the powerful DIgSILENT simulation environment.
