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:

  • 27 - Undervoltage Relay (1-ph) 

  • 50 - Instantaneous or Definite Time Overcurrent Relay (1-ph)

  • 50BF - Breaker Failure Protection

  • 59 - Overvoltage Relay (1-ph)

  • 79 - Auto recloser 

• 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

• Fixed use on non-English Windows PCs

• Fixed microsecond value placed in GOOSE packets when using the automatic clock detection mechanism

Modbus Master

• Added the triggered read/write functionality 

• Fixed byte ordering when reading float values 

OPAL-RT Board

• Added support for new mezzanine OP5360-3

• Added BETA support for new mezzanines OP5367-1, OP5367-3, OP5367-5

• Fixed use of PWM Synchronize AIn (RCP) on OPAL-RTLinux systems

• Fixed TSDIN performance issues 

• Fixed overruns occurring due to remotes not having output connections 

• Fixed incompatibility between the Fast Scope FPGA and Default Output Values (DOV) features 

• Fixed board ID validation issues for threshold (OP5369) and multi-rate (OP5030-#) configuration on remotes
