Version 24.1

Released on 26.02.2024

Multi-Factor-Authentication

Going with latest security best practices, we're introducing Multi-Factor-Authentication for Adaptricity. During the introductory phase, Multi-Factor-Authentication is not enabled by default. Please contact us using the support form to get it enabled for your Adaptricity instance. Starting 22.04.2024, it will be enabled on all instances by default.

D-A-CH-CZ Update

The voltage change and flicker evaluations have been updated to reflect the latest version of the D-A-CH-CZ norms ("Technische Regeln für die Beurteilung von Netzrückwirkungen", 3rd edition, 2021).

Short Circuit On All Grids

On the Short Circuit Calculation page it is now possible to see the short circuit results for all grids at the same time instead of for just only one grid at a time. You will see this combined view when no grid is selected. When you start the short circuit calculation without selecting a grid, it will now start the calculation for all grids in the project.

In the project settings, you now get the option to start the short circuit calculation for all grids after a data update (Project Settings > Short Circuit > Scheduled Updates).

Copy Grids To Other Project

On the grid page in the actions drop down menu, you now get the option to copy a grid to another project.

Please note, though, that only the grid data will be copied. Any grid upgrades or connection requests defined for the grid will not be copied to the destination project.

Improvements

Project Overview

• Improved the rendering performance of Connection Requests list by up to 20 times

Grid Editor

• Improved the performance of determining voltage levels of a grid

Connection Request

• Possibility to search for multiple terms
• Improved the performance of evaluations
• Improved the performance of the grid map view when the "Additional points on lines" option is activated
• Consider the generator short circuit contribution when evaluating VDE-AR-N connection requests
• Increased the precision of VDE-AR-N short term flicker calculations for welding machines

Protection

• Improved stage plan on Protection calculation page: Synchronized y-axes, calculation of impedance up to device-location (instead of current stage), allow overshoot factors >100%

Simulation

• When selecting a Scenario as add-on for a Time-Series Simulation, the power scaling of existing loads and generators is now done correctly

Data Integration

• New version of protocol for data integration to improve the conciseness and clarity of the requirements for the data integration

Other

• Improved the rendering performance of the projects list
• The Team Editor role can now also lock and unlock objects

Important Fixes

Project Overview

• Saving of settings failed in certain cases

Grid Editor

• The description of grid elements was not shown in the component tables, and changes made in the tables were not stored
• Open stations with double-click
• Deletion of elements in Grid Editor not possible in some situations
• Multiple issues with copy/pasting in Component Overview table

Data Integration

• Splitting failed if no active power was defined for loads in the uploaded XML file

Connection Request

• Jump to elements from the connection points table
• Consider the default-ON add-ons when calculating the voltage diagram
• Coloring by voltage change of the grid on the D-A-CH-CZ calculation page
• Faulty cos(phi) restrictions in the reactive power evaluation of the VDE-AR-N connection requests

Hosting Capacity

• Canceling was not possible

Future Scenarios

• Calculation failed for some scenarios

Static Calculations

• Ensure legends for results are always displayed
