Features and Improvements

  • Auxiliary Files (SCRIPT and DATA Sections): Modified to give an error message in the log if an invalid ConditionType string is found for a Condition or ModelConditionCondition object.
  • Auxiliary Files (SCRIPT and DATA Sections): When reading an AUX file, modified to support the ConditionType field of != to mean not equal in a Condition or ModelConditionCondition object. PowerWorld will still always write out <> for this ConditionType but we now support reading !=
  • Auxiliary Files (SCRIPT and DATA Sections): Adding ability to remove an Area Slack Bus designation by deleting the Slack Bus number from the field. If AGC is enabled in the area, designating an empty slack bus will also turn of AGC.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Auxiliary Files (SCRIPT and DATA Sections): When loading an AUX file which contains the contingency action to BYPASS or NOTBYPASS a series capacitor device, Simulator would only read this for a branch object that was marked as a "SeriesCap". This is allowed for any branch however, so we should read the action from an AUX file regardless.
