HYPERSIM
Added
- Added the ability to simultaneously run 2 or more instances of HYPERSIM on the host PC
- Added a license for PSCAD Import available to all users
- Added a license for PSS®E Import available to all users
- Added a model to the Target Inputs and Outputs Library:
- Target I/O Interface to help visualize and simplify the management of I/O connections in the schematic
- Added models to the Control Protection Relay Library:
- Added new Example models:
- Renewable Energy: MicroGrid Droop Control which demonstrates the Islanded Operation of an Inverter-based Microgrid Using a Droop Control Technique
- IO Interfaces: MuSE Example Project with the OP5033 which shows how MuSE can easily expand I/O capability by connecting multiple FPGA-based I/O expansion chassis
- IO Interfaces: Added MMS Support and the IO Interface component to the IEC61850 Sync1588 Example Model
- Added the following Python API commands:
- getMonitoringValue which returns the current value of the specified, actively running Monitor Block
- getMonitoringAllValues which returns the current value of all actively running Monitor Blocks
- Added a new Warning for devices that are missing sensors
- Added a "Select/Deselect All" option for Record in Sensors Summary Form
- Added the ability to lock a model when a second user opens the same model when more than one instance of HYPERSIM is running
- Added a Transformer Data tab in the Z-Based Transformer Parameter form that enables users to automatically generate parameters from manufacturer specifications
- Added FPGA details and a refresh button to the Target Information window that returns FPGA card type and Chassis ID
Improved
- Improved the simulation startup time for large models
- Improved the Sensor Management workflow
- Improved Simulation Settings window with a cleaner interface, and additional information such as the Target Architecture
- Improved error messages:
- related to RPC timeouts by giving more specific information and additional details
- when a user attempts to start or apply a Target when the license (Host and/or Target) is invalid or missing
- Improved battery current measurement from bundle to output pin which will improve stability
Fixed
Fixed .oprec opening error when double-clicking on the file
Fixed signal group returning to the default value when clicking on record in sensor summary view
- Fixed issue in Export Project Wizard where not all sensor configuration files were listed
- Fixed issue where localhost would sometimes not initialize due an IP address conflict
- Fixed naming of the output current and input voltage in the "Controlled V Source, series" to help address stability issues in models using this component
Removed
Removed Samba dependencies
- Removed export as JPG in ScopeView (image export only supports *.png)
I/O Interfaces
General
- Added jitter detection mechanism during idle time (hardware and software sync)
- Improved I/O Configuration UI:
- Added filter columns on table of any configuration page
- Fixed reorder columns on any configuration page
- Removed the "Add above" button and simplified additions in lists by reducing insertion buttons to just 1
- Improved the handling time of large configurations
- Improved the configuration of the collapsed tree state following a refresh
IEC 61850
- Added a new I/O interface with support for IEC 61850 MMS protocol
- Added conversion wizard to port legacy configuration and connections to the new interface
