Along with enhanced abilities and tools,
Version 8.0 continues PowerWorld Corporation’s singular dedication to
creating powerful analysis software that is easy to use. We’ve included
several new features that make navigating and interpreting the results of
your analysis easy. We’ve also added the ability to read and write all
data within Simulator from a single auxiliary file format.
-
Wildcard searching
has been integrated throughout the entire program allowing you to
quickly find the information you desire.
-
Numerous
enhancements to the Contingency Analysis tool aid in the
interpretation of contingency results.
-

information displays to show the MW Transactions, Jacobian, Y-bus,
Advanced Filters, and more… You can also zoom in on a case
information display.
-
A new toolbar
providing you with quick access to common case information actions
-
New auxiliary file
format that integrates all data within Simulator into a single text
file format.
