Features and Improvements
- Contingency Analysis Tool: Modified the Best Fit Open contingency and RAS actions for Interfaces and Injection Groups. The algorithm attempts to find the smallest number of devices that can meet the desired amount. The more devices there are to consider the more time it takes to determine all of the possible combinations. If there are more than 20 devices, the devices will be sorted from high to low impact and examined in blocks of 20. If the entire 20 devices are needed to meet the desired amount all will be opened and then next block of 20 devices will be used to meet the remaining amount. This process continues until it is not required that a set of 20 devices are all required to meet the remaining amount. This block will use the combination algorithm to fine tune which devices are opened.
- Transient Stability: Internal modifications to the LD1PAC model to split up the features of the under voltage, contactor, and thermal relays into pieces so that these can be applied to other load models
- Transient Stability: modified SVSMO3 so that values of Kdbd < 1.0 are treated as Kdbd = 1.0
