3. PSS®E 34.0 Highlights Integrated Node-Breaker Support
Node-Breaker topology support in engine
Automatic substation topology generation
Novel approach for linking Bus-Branch and Node-Breaker worlds
Node-Breaker contingency analysis
Updated study file management system
Improved power flow models
Solution parameters saved in SAV, RAW and SEQ
Support for branch names
12 Customizable ratings groups
Results spreadsheets
Geomagnetic Induced Current (GIC) improvements
New dynamics models
Many user interface, diagram, settings and plotter improvements

4. Automatic Substation Building
Choose from several common substation configurations (breaker and a half, ring bus, etc)
Easily add multiple buses at different voltage levels
90% of the work is done for you. Terminals can easily be moved after the initial layout is generated

5. Linked Bus-Branch and Node-Breaker Diagrams
Visual indication and clickable link for substation diagram in bus-branch view
Easily drill down to substation detail from the bus-branch model
Customized substation diagrams will automatically be loaded if available, or diagrams will be create dynamically as needed.

6. Example Node-breaker Contingencies
fault line from bus 101 to bus 102 ckt 1 / open line with brkrs isolate branch from bus 201 to bus 202 ckt 2 / open line with brkrs fault bus 3005 / clear bus with brkrs disconnect swd sub 4 from node 5 to node 2 / open brkr or switch close swd sub 2 from node 1 to node 7 / close brkr or switch isolate swd sub 1 from node 3 to node 8 / isolate brkr with brkrs contingency "stuck_brkr_example" fault line from bus 101 to bus 102 ckt 1 / open line with brkrs isolate swd sub 1 from node 1 to node 2 / stuck brkr at remote term end Notes: PSS®E 34.1 will have expanded NB contingency support including automatic NB contingency generation

7. PSS®E 34 Node-Breaker Demo

8. Improved Study File Management System
Formally known as Scenarios
Streamlined operation
New Study Explorer view for simple file management

9. Power Flow Modeling Additions
Distributed generation mode and parameters in load model
In-feed control mode for machines

10. Solution Parameters in RAW and SEQ
Power flow and short circuit solution parameters are stored in the SAV, RAW and SEQ files
The exact solutions can be replicated when re-opening or transferring case data

11. Branch Names and 12 Ratings Sets
Branch names are supported
Must be unique (future PSS®E versions will use as key fields for APIs, contingency definitions, reports, etc)
There are now 12 ratings sets with customizable names and descriptions
Use for various conditions, seasons, time limits, or anything you want.
Select from these 12 ratings for single line diagram loading results, ACCC violations, etc

12. Results Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets for results (and totals data) for network elements and aggregations
Examples:
Branch spreadsheet with all branch flows and losses
Fixed shunts spreadsheet with actual MVAR
Area spreadsheet with total load, losses and interchange

13. Dynamics Models New IEEE 421.5 Models
ST1C, ST5C, ST7C, AC1C, AC2C, AC3C, AC4C, AC5C, AC6C, DC1C, DC2C, AC6A
New Governor Model (Pratt amp; Whitney Turboden turbine-governor)
PWTBD1
New Machine Protection Model (V/Hz Generator Relay Model)
VPERHZU1
The following user models have been converted to standard models
DCTC1 is now DCTC1T
LOEXR1 is now LOEXR1T
