? DIgSILENT Power Factory Software Package
DIgSILENT Power Factory is the leading high-end power system analysis tool for applications in generation, transmission, distribution and industrial systems. It is integrating all required functions, easy to use, fully Windows compatible and combines reliable and flexible system modelling capabilities with state-of-the-art algorithms and a unique database concept. Besides the stand-alone functionality, the Power Factory engine integrates smoothly into any GIS, DMS or EMS supporting open system standards. The DIgSILENT offers following functionalities.
? Balanced and unbalanced power flow;Fault analysis;
? Harmonics, Frequency scans;
? RMS Stability;
? EMT simulations for three, two and single phase AC systems and DC systems;
? Protection simulation and co-ordination;
? Distribution, transmission and generation reliability;
? Small signal analysis (eigenvalues); Static and dynamic voltage stability;
? Active and reactive power dispatch; State estimation;
? Open tie optimization, optimal capacitor placement, cable sizing;
? Built-in automation interface (DPL),
? ODBC driver, interfaces for GIS and SCADA integration;
? PSS/E compatibility
? Experimental Procedure:
1) Download “Experiment 3.pfd” and save it in your computer. Open the DIgSILENT Power Factory (PF) and then go to: “File Import Data (*.pfd,*.dz,*.dle)”. Then select the
“Experiment 3.pfd” file from the place where you saved it in the computer and then click “Open”. Then activate the project: “File Activate Project” and select the project “Experiment 3” and press “OK”. A schematic of the network model is shown in Figure 1.

2) Run load-flow and record the voltage in all the buses and present your results in a table.
3) Increase the load in Bus 6 (Load B) in 25 MW increments to 150 MW and repeat step 2 for each of these scenarios.
4) Close the switch connecting the SVC (SVS) to Bus 6 and repeat step 3 with the SVC in the system; compare your results with step 3 and explain the effect of the SVC in voltage control.
5) With the SVC in the system, change the reactive power in Load A (Bus 5) from 0 to 100 MVAr in 25 MVAr increments and record the voltages in all buses in a table. Compare the Reactive Power generated by the generators and the SVC in these scenarios.
6) Set Load B to 50 MW and Load A to 50 MVAr without changing the other parameters and record the following results for RMS simulations:
All Generators SVC (SVS) All Buses
Active Power
Reactive Power
Excitation Voltage
Speed
Angle
Turbine Power
Positive Seq. Voltage Magnitude
SVC Voltage Magnitude
SVC Actual Admittance
SVC Total Reactive Power Voltage Magnitude

Hints:
? Follow DIgSILENT PF Dynamic Simulation Functionalities Guide for defining the variables and plotting the results.
7) Create a sequence of events as the following table and run a RMS simulation for 20 seconds in this system and plot the results according to step 6:
Event Time (s) Location Description
Fault 5.0 Middle of Line 5-7 (Faults Node) Three phase short circuit
