    PSCAD Version 4.1: New Release.

    significant amount of work

    A has been put into Version


    4 in the last year and this
    has resulted in a more stable and
    more powerful version of this
    very successful electro-magnetics
    software PSCAD/EMTDC. The
    PSCAD environment has been
    expanded to include support for
    arrays allowing complete support
    for the single line diagram
    representation of a power system.

    Version 4.1, shown here, is due to


    be released mid May 2004 and here
    are some of the key enhancements
    in this release:

    Enhanced Workspace

    New Drag and Drop functionality variable, it provides a formal data

    well as runtime related features, and effective without the need for
    such as curves and controls, imports and exports.

    Multi Trace Curves


    Array recordings are supported by
    an enhanced curve object that will
    plot any and all traces of an array
    on a single graph. Thus, an array
    recorder can be plotted using a
    single curve object.

    PolyGraphs
    A new stacked graph has been
    designed to accept the new curves
    and stack each trace as either a
    digital or analogue signal.

    PolyMeters
    This new display type can be
    used to view instantaneous data
    array magnitudes online. This is
    of particular convenience when
    viewing harmonic spectrums.

    New Library Models


    - Optimum Run takes advantage
    of new advancements in multiple
    run optimizations. It comes with
    several optimization methods to
    drastically reduce multi-runs.
    - 1-Phase/3-Phase RMS Meters
    have new algorithms included,
    which calculate the RMS value
    using a sliding window. This
    effectively removes any output
    ripple while retaining its dynamic
    properties.
    - An Internal Combustion Engine
    model is now provided to act as
    a prime mover torque input on
    generators.

    Autotransformer models are now CEDRAT Partner of EWEC
