OpenDSS-G Files

V 6.1 (f6.1.0.1)

OpenDSS-G is a new step in the evolution of simulation tools for planning and operations based in OpenDSS. This interface has adopted the functionalities of OpenDSS for making it easier for the user to use the advanced features of the platform. 
This version includes the parallel processing features included in OpenDSS. The interface is faster and by using graphical objects and forms the user can describe the power system, configure the processor utilization and many more advanced features.

New features:
- Introduces the block and whiskers widget for meters in OpenDSS-G.
- Improves sync between main panel and mini viewer.
- Brings back command 27 of the TCP/IP server (read monitor data).
- Complies with OpenDSS v 10.1.0.1

V 6.0.0.3
- Adds direct access to the user manual from the Windows->start menu bar.
- Corrects auto-complete window position when scrolling down the script.
- Improves the sensing of OpenDSS commands in the scripting tool when writing within pre-existing declarations.
- Fixes bug found when compiling commented lines that include reserved words (solve, solveall, compile…).

V 6.0.0.2
- Solves all the issues introduced in version 5.2 given the changes on the DLL API.
- Presents an introduction to Power scripting through the OpenDSS panel.
- Includes a command in the configuration menu for including a configuration file every time the model is recompiled.
- Updates the flags/symbols on the screen every time there is a recompile command.
- Corrects XYCurve/TCC/PriceShape editor, solving an issue preventing the form to update the obj list after saving changes.
- Corrects issue preventing TempShape and GrowthShape editors to display correctly.
- Corrects Price shape manager for allowing users to define price curves. This issue has been there since the very beginning of OpenDSS-G. Finally, after more than 10 years we discovered it and got it fix.
- Introduces a new structure and workflow for handling monitors and energy meters to make them more practical.
- Introduces the meter widgets for allowing users to create their own instrumentation panel graphically based on existing monitors and energy meters.
- The user manual is up to date.
