Substation View Display

The Substation View Display feature is analogous to the Bus View Display.

Along the top of the substation view display resides a panel of controls. The buttons labeled Back and Ahead allow you to step through the history of substations you have viewed thus far. Substation View options are available from the Options menu. To find a substation using search tools, click on the Search For button. The next two controls following the Substation label allow to specify a substation name (in the first text box) or a number (in the second text box). If you type a number or name that does not exist, the substation display will continue displaying the current substation.

Below this top panel sits the actual substation view display.

Just as with the bus view, it is useful to think of the substation view displays as nothing more than a oneline diagram. In other words, you interact with the objects drawn on the substation view display in the same way you work with objects on a more conventional Simulator oneline. Right-clicking on any power system object will bring up that objects local menu, which includes a link to the object’s associated information dialog. As on a conventional oneline diagram, flows on a substation view display can be animated. Right-clicking on the substation view display’s background will generate the same local menu as other oneline diagrams. The substation view can be generated using any of the following methods:

To switch between the substation view and the main oneline, use the Window menu tree on the main menu. To close the substation view display, simply close the form using the X button in the top right corner of the substation view display.
