Why DIgSILENT PowerFactory Is Essential for Your Engineering Career
From First Load Flow to Advanced Studies
We guide you step by step — from building your first single-line model to performing advanced protection, harmonic, transient stability, and grid compliance studies. No prior DIgSILENT experience needed.
Hands-On with Live Industry Projects
Every session uses real project models — solar farms, wind plants, steel works, and data centres. You practice exactly how engineers perform grid compliance, reactive power, and protection studies on actual clients' systems.
RMS + EMT — Both Simulation Modes
Unlike tool-specific courses, this training covers both RMS (stability and power flow) and EMT (electromagnetic transient) simulation within DIgSILENT — giving you a complete picture of the platform's capabilities.
DPL Scripting for Automation
Learn the DIgSILENT Programming Language (DPL) — the built-in scripting tool that lets you automate simulations, batch-run studies, create custom reports, and extend PowerFactory with your own logic.

What We Cover in the DIgSILENT PowerFactory Training
A complete programme from DIgSILENT fundamentals to advanced protection, harmonic, stability, and grid compliance studies.
Introduction & Core Concepts
DIgSILENT PowerFactory fundamentals — software capabilities, industry applications (Transmission, Distribution, Renewables), and comparison with ETAP, PSS®E, and PSCAD. First load flow walkthrough.
System Modelling Fundamentals
Create and manage projects, libraries, layouts, and the drawing environment. Model grids, transformers, generators, ZIP loads, cables, and transmission lines from scratch.
Load Flow Studies
Steady-state load flow analysis — voltage profiles, power flows, reactive power compensation, OLTC operation, operating scenarios, sensitivity studies, and Study Case Manager.
Short Circuit Analysis
IEC 60909 and ANSI short circuit analysis — three-phase, single-phase, and line-to-line faults. Equipment rating verification and fault contribution assessment.
Protection Studies
Protection relay modelling and coordination — overcurrent, earth fault, differential, busbar, and motor protection. LV & MV system protection coordination. Arc flash assessment.
Harmonic Analysis
Harmonic load flow, THD, frequency scan, and resonance identification. Filter performance evaluation, DC current injection assessment, and grid code compliance verification.
Transient Stability (RMS)
Time-domain RMS stability simulations — initial conditions, events, variable definitions, result visualisation, and system response to faults, switching, and load variations.
Dynamic Modelling
Dynamic model development using DIgSILENT standard library — generator, AVR, governor, PSS, and inverter-based resource (IBR) models for solar, wind, and BESS.
Grid Compliance Studies
LVRT, HVRT, frequency ride-through, reactive power support, active power control, and ramp rate compliance — with utility-accepted report preparation.
EMT Simulation
Fast transient EMT analysis in DIgSILENT — Ferranti effect, switching events, FFT analysis, and EMT vs RMS comparison for comprehensive system studies.
Renewable Energy Integration
Model and simulate solar PV, wind turbine generators, and BESS in DIgSILENT — 250 MW solar, 300 MW solar, and wind project case studies with complete grid compliance validation.
DPL Scripting & Automation
DIgSILENT Programming Language (DPL) fundamentals — automate simulations, handle objects and sets, generate table reports, and write custom study workflows.
DPL Scripting — DIgSILENT's Built-In Automation Language
Unlike other platforms that rely on external tools, DIgSILENT has DPL built directly into PowerFactory. This course teaches you to write DPL scripts to automate repetitive simulations, batch contingency runs, and generate professional compliance reports — a highly valued skill in the industry.
