Features and Improvements

  • Sensitivity Calculations: Added fields with the TLR_Options object to specify whether Breakers and Load Break Disconnects should be used to close disconnected buses that contain generators or loads so that shift factors can be calculated at these devices. These options were only available on the user interface dialog, but can now be changed using script commands and AUX files too.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Transient Stability: In transient stability when an island was dead in the power flow solution base case because it didn't had an online generator, the island was not properly marked as dead during the initialization in transient stability. When the simulation began the island was immediately changed to a dead island and a transient result message would be added at the simulation start time saying that the number of islands was being reduced because the island was now dead, even though it should have already been dead. This was not impacting anything, but the result messages were confusing. This patch ensures these confusing messages do not appear.
