Features and Improvements

  • Auxiliary Files (SCRIPT and DATA Sections): Made a commonly used feature much more memory efficient. The feature to Send To Excel by either right-clicking on the case informations display, or when using the related SCRIPT command, could cause Simulator to run out of memory when used on extremely large data sets.
  • Case Information Displays: Made a commonly used feature much more memory efficient. The feature to Send To Excel by either right-clicking on the case informations display, or when using the related SCRIPT command, could cause Simulator to run out of memory when used on extremely large data sets.
  • Scheduled Actions: Added another check when the Use Normal Status option is in use to return disconnects that are in series with the branch that is being returned to service. If a branch is an Open Breaker action, any disconnects that are in series with it and are normally closed will be closed.
  • Transient Stability: Added the requested ability to add the case name into the plot name when in auto save. If the option is checked then the name will have the following format: "ContingencyName_PlotName_CaseName.jpg" Otherwise it will be naming the plot as before.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Contingency Analysis: When doing a comparison of 2 contingency lists in the 64 bit version of Simulator, you coudl see a "stack overflow error". This has been fixed.
    • GIC: Fixed some issues associated with loading and saving *.gic format files.
    • Oneline Diagrams: Fixed a bug with PTDF pie chart displays, which were showing values off by a factor of 100.
    • Oneline Diagrams: Fixed error parsing ERCOT kml files caused by case sensitive text comparison. 'branch' was not matching 'Branch'.
