First results of integrating Başkent EDAŞ Geographical Information System (GIS) –> DIgSILENT PowerFactory are obtained successfully. The solution time of our integration algorithms decreased to 10 minutes for approximately 36 thousand transformers network of Başkent EDAŞ, thanks to improvements in our integration algorithms in the scope of ongoing R&D activities.

According to the determinations made by our algorithms, the most common errors in the GIS database are the voltage levels and key positions of the switches. It is important for distribution companies to pay attention to these issues in their GIS update activities. Because the GIS database is now a key resource in many analyzes

IWe performed DIgSILENT StationWare trainings at Gdz Elektrik DisCO on 17-18 July 2023.
DIgSILENT StationWare is a reliable central protection settings database and asset management system, based on the latest .NET technology. StationWare stores and records all settings in a central database, allows modelling of relevant workflow sequences, provides quick access to relay manuals, interfaces with manufacturer-specific relay settings and integrates with PowerFactory software, allowing powerful and easy-to-use settings coordination studies. The main applications are: 1) Protection Settings Management; 2) Asset Management; 3) Business Processes.

We conducted DIgSILENT PowerFactory user trainings to ADM DisCo personnel on 10-11 July 2023.

We have successfully optimized the controller settings ​​of the Power System Stabilizers (PSS) of the remaining units of the ZETES Thermal Power Plant (2790 MW). Optimum settings of the PSSs ensure positive damping not only to local (~1Hz) oscillations but also to inter-area (~0,15Hz) oscillations, and thereby, contribute to stability of Turkish power grid given the significant size of the power plant. We would like to thank all our team and stakeholders who contributed to this critical success.

In the scope of the project, a national Dispatcher Training Simulator (YTES) will be developed in cooperation with Eltemtek. The YTES will include a real-time dynamic simulator in SCADA resolution and an operator interface. DIgSILENT PowerFactory will be the dynamic simulator engine.

We conducted DIgSILENT PowerFactory user trainings to Ayedaş DSO personnel on 19-21 June 2023. Thanks to Taner ESEN and Ayedaş DSO team for the organization and kind hospitality

In the scope of our idea of ​​introducing Power Systems students to DIgSILENT PowerFactory at the universities and supporting their education, Gazi University Faculty of Technology Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department is now among the universities that have DIgSILENT PowerFactory software.

We performed a very productive workshop with Azerenerji OJSC, Masdar (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company) and Tetra Tech in Baku on June 12-14, 2023. The initial findings of renewable integration studies by EPRA Energy and Tetra Tech are discussed and a road map is defined to continue addressing capacity limits of Azerbaijan grid for secure, reliable, and stable integration of renewable energy sources.

We conducted DIgSILENT PowerFactory user trainings to Toroslar DSO personnel on 12-14 June 2023. Thanks to Toroslar DSO for the kind hospitality.

We visited Fırat University Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department on June 02, 2023 and made a demo of the advanced functions of DIgSILENT PowerFactory. Thanks to Fadıl Karamazı, Levent Levent, and Sait Aslan from Fırat Elektrik Dağıtım A.Ş. for the organization, and Department Head Prof. Dr. Mehmet Cebeci, Muhsin Tunay Gençoğlu and faculty members Mahmut Temel Özdemir, Ahmet Orhan, Merve Yıldırım, and all the participants for the warm hospitality.
