Features and Improvements

  • Transient Stability: Added two new fields to a TSContingency for ResultFilename and ResultDirectory. By default these are blank and the existing behavior will remain which is that hard-drive results are stored to and read from the directory specified in the Hard Drive Result Storage options and all result files are expected to have the name of the TSContingency with the appropriate extension (TSR, AUX, image file format such as JPEG, and so on). This default behavior can now be overridden by specifying either a ResultFilename or ResultDirectory.
    The ResultFilename field should not include any file extension, so if a value of MyFile.tsr is specified in this field, then the actual files written out would have names such as "MyFile.tsr.tsr" and "MyFile.tsr.aux". So do not include an extension in ResultFileName.
    The ResultDirectory may be either an absolute path or a relative path. An empty string means the directory specified in the Save to Hard Drive Options is used. If this is a relative path, then it will be the path relative to the RSHD_Directory path set with the Save to Hard Drive Options. If this is an absolute path it will be used directly.
  • Transient Stability: Modified the dialog that opens to show TSContingency objects with the multiple transient plot settings so it can be open while interacting with other dialogs. The dialog however will remain on top of the main transient stability dialog.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Contingency Analysis: The May 3, 2023 patch broke the "Open with Breakers" features. This has been fixed.
    • General: The May 3, 2023 patch broke the "Open with Breakers" features. This has been fixed.
    • Scheduled Actions: Added an optional parameter to the ApplyScheduledActionsAt script command. This 4th parameter (Revert) defaults to FALSE, but if set to TRUE the command will attempt to apply the opposite action for any Scheduled Actions which would otherwise have been applied (e.g. Closing devices set to Open, Opening Breakers for devices set to Close Breakers)
