The shift from 32-bit to 64-bit (x64) architecture is the single most impactful factor making PowerFactory 2022 better for complex grid simulations.
The latest version of PowerFactory, released in 2022, brings a range of new features and improvements, making it an even more powerful tool for power systems engineering. Some of the key enhancements include:
Upgrading to DIgSILENT PowerFactory 2022 x64 provides engineers with a highly stable environment for critical grid studies. The combination of unlimited memory access, optimized CPU utilization, and modern programming interfaces ensures that complex compliance studies—such as grid code verification for wind farms or large-scale industrial motor starting analysis—are completed faster and with fewer technical errors.
A standout addition is the AI module, which utilizes pre-trained neural networks to perform extremely fast Quasi-Dynamic Simulations Enhanced Co-Simulation:
