Features and Improvements

  • Auxiliary Files (SCRIPT and DATA Sections): added code for relay data import script commands: TSLoadRDB and TSLoadRelayCSV
  • Difference Case Tool: added support to the Difference Case Tool for showing differences in three-winding transformers
  • Difference Case Tool: added support to the Difference Case Tool for showing differences in balancing authorities
  • Difference Case Tool: added support to the Difference Case Tool for showing differences in MW transactions
  • Difference Case Tool: added support to the Difference Case Tool for showing differences in DataMaintainers
  • Difference Case Tool: added support to the Difference Case Tool for showing differences in Owners
  • Difference Case Tool: Added Difference Case Tool support for MTDCBus, MTDCLine, and MTDCConverter objects.
  • Difference Case Tool: Changed the Tree View list of objects on the Present Topological Differences from base case so that it has folders for Network and Aggregation objects. Also modified the Summary Table on this dialog so that it has tables for Network and Aggregation objects. These changes were made because of the large number of new objects now available for comparison in the difference case tool.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Contingency Analysis: The abort button will actually cause the contingency solution to abort if in the middle of the SOLUTIONFAIL step. Previously, if no solution was possible it would just continue until 100 iterations were reached.
    • General: When closing a case after defining supplemental data objects which contained other objects, an access violation could occur. This has been fixed.
    • Oneline Diagrams: When reading a KML diagram from ERCOT if a transmission line was encountered which did not exist in the power system case, an access violation occurred. This has been fixed so that instead the unlinked transmission line is created without an access violation occurring.
    • Oneline Diagrams: Fixed a problem reading a KML diagram from ERCOT. It was initially linking the power flow case transmission line to the display object, but when opening the dialog to show unlinked objects the lines would become unlinked.
    • PV and QV Curve (PVQV) Tool: Fixed an error with loading in the PVCurve_Options field RestoreState from an AUX file. This option was not being properly read in. The field is now named RestoreSystemState.
    • Scheduled Actions: Scheduled Actions bug fix -- Label Formats were not correctly handling lists of headers that include spaces.
    • Security Constrained OPF (SCOPF) Tool: In some situations a "grid index out of bounds" error could occur when attempting to solve the SCOPF solution. This has been fixed.
