Reliability, efficiency and stable operation are essential features for the generation which forms the core of any power system. PowerFactory offers tools suitable for the electrical design of power plants and for planning their operation. The broad spectrum of solutions ranges from the analysis of the electrical and mechanical behaviour in steady-state and transient conditions, to the optimisation of generator dispatch.
Modern power systems bring new challenges to conventional power plants. Besides sub-synchronous resonances (SSR) typically related to series compensation, sub- and super-synchronous torsional interactions (SSTI) with converter-based equipment are an increasing challenge. Proper analysis is essential in order to mitigate the risks of damage to equipment, and associated high costs, that can result from these phenomena.
