standard, allowing PowerFactory to co-simulate with other software tools. It also introduced initial support for for discrete-time modeling. Reliability & Protection Optimal Recloser Placement function was added to the Reliability Analysis module. The Protection Coordination Assistant
The 2022 update placed a heavy emphasis on performance. With the rise of "Smart Grids," the size of network models has grown exponentially. PowerFactory 2022 introduced improved parallel processing capabilities for its solvers, particularly for Contingency Analysis and Quasi-Dynamic Simulations. This allows engineers to run thousands of "what-if" scenarios—such as the impact of high electric vehicle (EV) penetration or extreme weather events—in a fraction of the time required by previous iterations.

人工智能技术正在深度融入电力系统领域。PowerFactory 2022 新增了人工智能模块，该模块利用预训练的神经网络实现快速的准动态仿真（Quasi-Dynamic Simulation）。传统的准动态仿真通常需要在时间序列上逐点迭代计算，计算量巨大且耗时较长。通过引入 AI 模块，用户可以根据给定的网络拓扑训练神经网络模型，然后在准动态仿真中直接使用该神经网络进行快速计算，显著缩短了仿真时间。
从小型微电网到大型输配电网，PowerFactory 2022 覆盖了各种规模的网络规划和运营研究需求。例如，哥伦比亚波哥大地区的一所大学利用 PowerFactory 开发了一套仿真工具，用于分析某微电网的运行行为，充分展示了 PowerFactory 在微电网教学与科研中的价值。 This allows engineers to run thousands of "what-if"
Initial support for using Modelica as a modeling language.
Improved dynamic models for wind and solar PV.
PowerFactory simulates the integration of solar/farm resources, assessing energy yield, grid compatibility, and mitigation strategies against voltage flicker or frequency deviations.
