Features and Improvements

  • Auxiliary Files (SCRIPT and DATA Sections): Added a column to the Branch table of the Lines that Create Islands dialog to show a list of the buses islanded if the branch is open, as bus numbers separated by commas.
  • Case Information Displays: Added a column to the Branch table of the Lines that Create Islands dialog to show a list of the buses islanded if the branch is open, as bus numbers separated by commas.
  • Case Information Displays: Modified how the popup hints are displayed so that if the hint includes specified carriage return/line feeds it would not add unnecessary CRLF.
  • Contingency Analysis Tool: Added new features for specifying to store contingency results to hard drive while running large contingencies runs instead of storing the results in RAM as they are processed.
  • Difference Case Tool: modified Difference Case Tool so that the removed object types for Interface, InterfaceElement, LineShunt, 3WXFormer, and GenVarLim will properly obey the Area/Zone Filters.
  • Difference Case Tool: Modified the GenVarLim object to obey the Area/Zone/Owner filters
  • Transient Stability: Added a splitter on the various Stability tabs when showing the list of objects under the Parameters section for a stability model. Previously you could only see 2 objects at a time and had to scroll through all of them. Now you can move a splitter on the dialog to dedicate additional space to the list of objets under the parameter section.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Contingency Analysis: On the Contingency Violation Matrices dialog, the toolbar buttons were not properly updated as you clicked on the case information displays. This has been corrected.
    • File Formats: Modified so that when reading an EPC file if the load record has a ithrbus specified, but the ithflag <= 0, then we ignore the specified load throwover bus.
    • User Interface Dialogs: When right-clicking on either an individual interface element, or when choosing to create an interface that is the reverse of an existing interface, then the metered end of the branch was also being flipped resulting in a slight difference in flow due to losses. This has been modified so that the metered end remains consistent when reversing an interface element.
