Summary of Tutorial

This simple tutorial goes through the basic steps on starting with TestView. It uses an example model from HYPERSIM.

Step 1: HYPERSIM start-up

• Launch HYPERSIM.
• In File > Options, there is the Open an Example File section. Select any example model. In this tutorial, the model HVAC_500kV_6BUS is used (in Transmission & Distribution).
• Click Open Example and select a directory of your choice. In this case, a new folder was created in ‘C:\Users\username\Documents\HYPERSIM\’.

• Either keep the default settings or select the desired settings in the HYPERSIM tab -> Simulation Settings section. Refer to the HYPERSIM Ribbon Options if help is required for that step.
• Load the sensors (.sig) file available in the model directory.

• Start the simulation.

Step 2: ScopeView Start-Up

To launch ScopeView, in the HYPERSIM tab, click the ScopeView button.

ScopeView launches 2 windows, one to work on the signal processing and the other to visualize the results.

Step 3: Add Signals to Visualize

When ScopeView opens, it automatically connects to the model in the forefront (in case multiple models are open) and provides a list (by category) of the sensors selected in HYPERSIM. To connect to another model, read this.

• Click on WES7.Va, WES7.Vb and WES7.Vc. The chosen signals move automatically to the Selected Signals table at the bottom of the window.

• Switch to the category Lines and Cables, then click on all currents at the WED7 end of the line.

Step 4: Prepare the Template

• Click on WES7.Va, WES7.Vb and WES7.Vc to select them (selection is displayed with a thick black border).

• Superimpose the graphs by clicking here:

Note that the order of the signals in the legend follows the order in which all three graphs were selected.

• Repeat the same operation for the line currents.
  
  
  
• Hide the sidebar, we won't need it:

• Open the top bar options:

• Change the Time Length of the acquisition to 0.2.

• If you want, save the template.

Step 4: Visualize Simulation Values

• Start an acquisition and results are displayed.
