Features and Improvements

  • Auxiliary Files (SCRIPT and DATA Sections): Added ATCSetASReference script command that will allow setting the reference state used with the ATC tool.
  • Available Transfer Capability (ATC) Tool: Added ATCSetASReference script command that will allow setting the reference state used with the ATC tool.
  • Contingency Analysis Tool: The primary file format field, Actions - PW File Format, used with contingency elements (all contingency elements, contingency block elements, and global actions elements) will now be formatted by primary or secondary key field or label based on the Case Information Displays Key Fields setting.
  • General: Added fields for Branches showing the MW and Mvar losses on the series impedance only (I^2*x and I^2*R).
  • Bug Fixes

    • Auxiliary Files (SCRIPT and DATA Sections): The SendToExcel script command has been modified to mimic more closely the functionality available when sending data to Excel from the GUI.
    • File Formats: When saving out switched shunts that are on either Generator Mvar or Wind Mvar control to an EPC file, the control will be set as fixed.
    • General: The star buses of three-winding transformers were not always in the correct substation. They should be assigned to the same substation as their primary bus. This has been fixed.
    • PV and QV Curve (PVQV) Tool: In some instances the number of critical scenarios could not be set greater than 1 because of a max limitation on the number of critical scenarios. This has been fixed by removing the max limit on the number of critical scenarios.
    • Transient Stability: The transient stability dialog will now refresh correctly after loading settings from an auxiliary file.
    • Transient Stability: Fixed an error in reading the DC4B model from a DYR file.
