Split lines or cables into a pre-defined number of sections in DIgSILENT PowerFactory

Split lines or cables into a pre-defined number of sections in DIgSILENT PowerFactory

In this post, I present an approach to automatically split lines or cables in DIgSILENT PowerFactory into a pre-defined number of sections. The main idea is to loop over every line and split it into a pre-defined number of sections. The sections assume the same line type as the original line. Whereas the length of…

A template for rate-of-change-of-frequency (RoCoF) analysis of synchronous generators/condensers

A template for rate-of-change-of-frequency (RoCoF) analysis of synchronous generators/condensers

The importance of grid connection studies increases around the world. TSOs focus more on the grid impact of new generation units as the energy transition moves forward. Adding more converter-based units changes the power system dynamics fundamentally, e.g. higher frequency gradients. That’s also why TSOs require rate-of-change-of-frequency (RoCoF) analyses before the approval of prospective units….
