Abstract

The DIgSILENT Power Factory is an engineering tool for the analysis of distribution, transmission, and industrial electrical power systems. “DIgSILENT” is an acronym for “Digital SImuLation of Electrical NeTworks”. This software is an advanced integrated and interactive package dedicated to electrical power system and control analysis so as to achieve planning and operational optimization objectives. The package can be interfaced with programming languages and software for performing tasks for better utility. Python is a high-level programming language with legible syntax and comes with open-source license. This paper brings the methodology for interfacing of Python with DIgSILENT Power Factory for automation of tasks. The paper provides various code snippets for interfacing Python with software package and task automation.
