1. Objective:

To provide a thorough and comprehensive introduction to the most important features of PowerFactory software.

The approach used in this course is learning-doing with a practical approach from the perspective of the power system modelling, analysis and simulation.

The topics to be covered during the seminar include: Overview of power system analysis function in DIgSILENT, RMS simulations for analysis of power system stability.

An introduction of the dynamic modelling with PowerFactory and its use for constant speed wind turbines is presented.

2. Pre-requisites:

	A good working knowledge of how to operate Windows, Windows Explorer and any normal Windows program (e.g. Word).
	A basic mathematical understanding of loadflow studies and fault calculations and very good mathematical knowledge of the basic techniques used in Control Theory.
	Good understanding of dynamic processes in power systems, previous experiences in time-domain simulations are desired.
	Participants should be familiar with the general handling of the PowerFactory software (Load flow and short-circuit calculation with PowerFactory)
	Background experience through the use of DIgSILENT PowerFactory - this will greatly enhance the participants; the handling of the RMS-simulations is highly desired.
