Features and Improvements
- Model Explorer: Show the "Branches By Type" folder in the Model Explorer regardless of whether the Integrated Topology Processing add-on has been purchased.
- Transient Stability: When choosing a generator as the Angle Reference in the Result Options which is presently out-of-service and choosing to use an angle reference which uses that generator, Simulator will now create a validation warning alerting you of this problem. The simulation will still run, but the angle reference will be the synchronous reference frame (no shift) instead of your choice.
- Transient Stability: When choosing a generator as the Angle Reference in the Result Options which is not a synchronous machine and choosing to use this generator internal angle, Simulator will now create a validation warning alerting you of this problem. The simulation will still run, but the angle reference will be the synchronous reference frame (no shift) instead of your choice.
- Available Transfer Capability (ATC) Tool: ATC option to enforce generator MW limits with linear step is now used when using the iterated methods instead of just automatically enforcing the limits if all other options are set to enforce limits. This will allow users the option to use the same functionality that was used in version 17. This option is not applicable if using the Economic Merit Order option with injection group ramping. In this case limits will always be enforced if other options are set to enforce limits.
- Contingency Analysis: When doing Quick Insert of Single Element add the new element to the end of the list of contingencies. Trying to add to the selected location doesn't make sense if there is any sorting applied to the list and this could royally screw up the linking of the contingencies. This will prevent a situation in which existing contingencies appear to disappear when doing a Quick Insert.
- GIC: Fixed access violation that could occur when using the GIC scalar regions
- Oneline Diagrams: Fixing odd behavior storing dynamic formatting settings.
- Oneline Diagrams: Fixing problem with the undo of oneline drawing objects introduced in October 14 2014 patch. This was making the undo feature disabled when it should have been available.
