Features and Improvements

  • Transient Stability: Added the Ierr signal under the "OEL Other" folder in the plots section for the OEL2C model.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Auxiliary Files (SCRIPT and DATA Sections): DoCTGAction script command will now handle OPENCBS and CLOSECBS actions the same way that contingency analysis implements these actions. Previously these actions were not implemented.
    • Transient Stability: The OELInput parameter for the OEL2C model in a PSSE DYR file, has acceptable values of 1 (psse default), 2, 3, which are now correctly translated to the values 1, 0, 3 respectively in PowerWorld Simulator. Earlier, this translation was not being done while reading and writing a DYR. Already saved PWB files will be affected, and users will need to reload a DYR file in order to correctly translate this parameter.
    • Transient Stability: SW1 parameter for the OEL2C model in a PSSE DYR file, has acceptable values of 1, 2, which are now correctly translated to the values 0, 1, respectively in PowerWorld Simulator. Earlier, this translation was not being done while reading and writing a DYR. Already saved PWB files will be affected, and users will need to reload a DYR file in order to correctly translate this parameter.
    • Transient Stability: During initialization of OEL2C, if modification limits is allowed, and if OEL ramp rate logic, Z is greater than or equal to zero, then the Iinst upper limit will be modified to match Iact. This is done to ensure that Ierr is greater than or equal to zero, and VOEL initializes to the upper limit, which is consistent with the OEL being idle.
    • Transient Stability: Added initial limit modification for VOELmax1 provided the OEL is being intialized as idle. VOELmax2 and VOELmax3 were already being considered, and had missed to do it for VOELmax1.
