1 New Features

1.1 ATPDesigner and Windows 7 Operating System

ATPDesigner has been successfully approved running on Windows 7 operating systems (32-Bit

and 64-Bit).

Please note that Windows 7 is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.

1.2 Font and Font Color for Network Elements

The user specific names of network elements

e.g. Lines or Transformers can be now written

using user specific font and font color called

Label Font in the settings dialog Network

Configuration.

1.3 Font and Background Color for Tooltips

ATPDesigner provides now the user to

set an user specific font and an user

specific background color for Tooltips

( Short Analysis Results).

Please note, that font and

background color will be saved in the

.INI-file. Therefore the format of the

.INI-file has been changed.


Overview - Program Settings

1.4 New User Specific Colors drawing the Power Network

ATPDesigner provides the user now to set new

drawing colors for the power network.

Drawing color for not connected network

elements (default color: red)

Drawing color for network elements, which

are overloaded (e.g. lines or transformers)

e.g. by a short-circuit (default color:

orange)

The figure above shows not connected network elements (cable, transformer Dyn5, load

impedance Z) which have been drawn in orange color. The figure below shows overloaded

network elements (transformer, line) drawn in red color.

1.5 Signal Analysis - User Specific Bar Font and Bar Color

Font and color for the bars can be set by the user. In the figure below the bar color has been

set to blue. In addition the signal name e.g. TACS - IAP_M1 and the resolution of the bar

diagram e.g. df = 50Hz will be displayed in the right upper corner.

1.6 Diagram Settings - User Specific Font and Font Color

The user can select font and color for the axis labeling of diagrams. The figure below shows a

tooltip presenting the Short Circuit Results: blue font color, background color yellow.

1.7 Signal Analysis - True

R.M.S Value

ATPDesigner now calculates the

true r.m.s. value of voltages or

currents based on the time window

defined by the both graphic cursors

used in diagrams.

2 Improvements

2.1 Short Circuit

The Short Circuit supports now the line models Single-Line (RL) (mutually coupled RL) Single-Line

(RLC-PI) (mutually coupled RLC) and Single-Line (RLC) (distributed parameters).

New settings have been implemented.

Fault Extinction [ms]

I extinction [A]

Fault resistance [A]

Fault Time

Start time of the Short Circuit related to the

simulation start at t = 0s

Fault Extinction

Stop time of the Short Circuit related to the

simulation start at t = 0s

Fault Type

Type of the Short Circuit e.g. AG, ABG, etc.

I extinction

This setting deals with the time of the Short Circuit

Extinction.

Fault Resistance Enabled

Enable or disable an additional fault resistance

Fault Resistance

Fault resistance in Ohm

2.2 External .ATP-Files (MODELS)

Enable WRITE

Using MODELS comments can be written into the .LST-File using the WRITE(..) - command.

Example

write ("This is a comment")

If enabled

All WRITE(..) - commands will be processed by ATPDesigner.

If disabled

ATPDesigner checks each line of the MODELS source code for a WRITE(..) - command at

the beginning of the line. Whitespaces will be ignored. If detected, ATPDesigner ignores

the complete line.

2.3 3-Phase Source

New features have been added to improve the ATP based model of the 3-Phase Source.

New Operation Mode Pnom(Ip) = const (Short Circuit Results)

This operation mode can be used to simulate e.g. photovoltaic systems, which infeed electrical

energy via an inverter circuit (model of a current source).

Enable Phase Adjusting (settings dialog ATP Related Data, tab ATP Data)

Specify the settings Max. Step and Max. Phase to control the iteration process (settings

dialog ATP Related Data, tab Phase Adjusting)

Set the active power Pnom (settings dialog 3-Phase Source)

Set the initial voltage Vnom init (settings dialog 3-Phase Source)

ATPDesigner calculates now the initial value of the current injected by the 3-Phase Source.

After pressing the Short Circuit Results button , ATPDesigner starts the iteration process.

ATPDesigner processes step by step the calculation of voltages and currents (Steady State),

calculates the active power P at the infeed node of the 3-phase source and compares this

active power P with the setting Pnom. ATPDesigner takes into account both the deviation P - Pnom

and the phase-to-ground voltage Vpg at the infeed node to calculate the new value of the

phase Ip current injected by the 3-Phase Source.

MODELS based Voltage and Current Sources

ATPDesigner also provides the user to implement a voltage or a current source, where the time

dependent behavior of the source can be realized using MODELS only by mathematical

equations etc. The MODELS software implementation of the source will be connected to the

electrical power network by the Type 60 interface.

2.5 Right Mouse Button Menu - Deselect

If several network elements are selected (drawn in

grey color), ATPDesigner deselects only the one

network element, which has been identified at the

current mouse cursor position in the moment pressing

the right mouse button.

This feature is very helpfully, if several network

elements are selected, but only one must be

deselected. Using this feature all other network

elements keep selected.

3 Bug Fixes

The bug fixes may be related to all former ATPDesigner releases.

3.1 Short Circuit Results and Probes

The ATPDesigner based calculation of the apparent power S has been fixed. ATPDesigner

calculates the apparent power to small.

3.2 Starting ATPDesigner by Double-Click on a .NET-file

If ATPDesigner has been started by a double-click on the icon of an existing .NET-file (e.g. in the

windows explorer) and if the user creates a new .Net-file, ATPDesigner doesn't create a new

.NET-file but a copy of the first loaded .NET-file.

3.3 Short Circuit

If a network element with connected Short Circuit (e.g. a line + Short Circuit) has been selected

and both should be moved, only the network element could be moved but not the shape of

the Short Circuit.

3.4 Processing COMTRADE - Files

If the COMTRADE .DAT-file contains only 1 or less sampled values (= lines in the text file)

ATPDesigner fails reading this file.

4 New Examples (.NET – Files)

After the ATPDesigner setup has been finalised, the user will find some .NET-files, which makes it

more easy to start with ATPDesigner. In addition the user can study the features of ATPDesigner

analysing these examples. The content of each .NET-file is explained in the chapter Examples

and Data Cases in the help file.

New .NET-files are not available.
