Features and Improvements
- Bus View and Substation View Onelines: Added a new visualization for Bus View to show "Consolidate FixedNumBus Splits" which will generally show FixedNumBus groupings but will automatically split up those groupings if there are multiple Superbus within the group. This ensures that the user can always see open breakers that have split the FixedNumBus
- Bus View and Substation View Onelines: Modified the "Consolidated Superbus" BusView to highlight other SuperBus which would be part of the Superbus if switching devices were closed or other things preventing consolidation were ignored.
- Bus View and Substation View Onelines: Modified the "Consolidated FixedNumBus" BusView to visualize the splits created by the open switching devices.
- Case Information Displays: A new field was added to a Bus, Gen, Load, and Shunt object called Solution\Status FixedNumBus. Shows either Disconnected, Connected, Mixed, Connected2, Mixed2, and so on. If all buses in the FixedNumBus are Disconnected it will show Disconnected. If all are Connected, then it will show Connected followed by the number of unique SuperBus that are inside the FixedNum Bus if more than 2. If there is are both Connected and Disconnected buses, then it will say Mixed.
- File Formats: When loading in other file formats, PowerWorld would set a bus' voltage could be set equal to another bus if it was radial to the other bus and also had no load, generation, or shunts. This improved solution convergence is cases written in other file formats. A message log is now written indicating this is happening.
- Transient Stability: Added support to read and write to a dyd file for the transient models OEL4C and OEL5C.
- Transient Stability: On generator dialog when adding a model the dialog which appears had the "folder icon" and the "blue dot icon" flipped. This has been fixed
- Transient Stability: Access violation bug when using certain system or groups transient model (like system wide WSCC load model) and opening a table of the transient models in the Model Explorer. Now the access violation will not occur.
- User Interface Dialogs: Changes were made to the look and feel of the selected text in the Message Log in Simulator 24. These changes caused the font size of the message log to be ignored and unchangeable. This has been fixed.
