Digsilent — Powerfactory 2022 ((new))

The 2022 version bridges the gap between academic simulation and industrial real-time application. The performance gains from 64-bit and GPU acceleration alone justify the upgrade for large utilities. However, the true value lies in the —the ability to co-simulate with modern control platforms (via FMU) and program modern analysis tools (via Python 3.9).
