Interfaces

In addition to the standard import and export interfaces offered as part of, or as a supplement to, the Base Package, there are a number of dedicated interfaces available. These provide data-exchange capabilities for specific functions.

  • API - Application Interface (API is part of the module Scripting and Automation)
  • OPC DA1/UA Interface2 - SCADA interoperability standard, A/D signal interfacing
  • IEEE C37.118 simulation interface3 – PMU protocol
  • Co-Simulation interface4 - Third party EMT/RMS co-simulation interface based on the FMI 2.0 (Functional Mockup Interface) standard

1OPC DA is deprecated and will be removed in the next main version PowerFactory 2027
2Requires OPC Interface licence
3Requires C37 Simulation Interface licence
4Requires Stability Analysis Functions (RMS) or Electromagnetic Transients (EMT) licence
