PowerFactory comes with fully integrated optimization functions for minimizing losses or
production costs of modern power systems. The optimization is based on state-of-the art models
and algorithms guaranteeing that the most economic solution is found without violating any
system constraint. Objective functions, system constraints and set-points can be defined in the
most flexible way. The optimization model is fully backward compatible to the standard
PowerFactory load flow. PowerFactory
