Example Excel Workbook

Filter in search bar

In the search bar, you can now filter for each element type to refine your search.

Storage dashboard

In the "About" popup when clicking on "Details", you can find an overview about how large each project is in term of memory and its allocation across the data.

Voltage levels

On the admin page in the general options, you can create more ranges (together with colors) for each voltage level.

Legend settings

On the admin page alongside the general options, you can configure the settings of various legends such as "Loading [%]" or "Voltage [pu]" to be used across all users and static calculation pages.

Changelog link and Adaptricity version

On the login page, you can now find a link to the latest changelog so you can keep yourself updated with new features and bugfixes. In addition, you can also see the current version of Adaptricity.

Improvements

Grid

• Adjusted the electrical change detection thresholds of a grid which will result in better performance when deciding whether to recalculate the hosting capacity for .Connect (Instill) and re-simulations in .Mon.

• Improved GDI to be able to recover in exceptional cases when moving addons.

• Improved the clarity of the logging messages during the addon-moving stage in GDI.

• Disabled the splitting/moving of load situations in GDI as they affect all elements of a grid which led to a substantial amount of false-positive warnings in the GDI log.

• Introduced protocol V3 for GDI updates.

• Enhanced the tables on multiple pages by eliminating trimming, allowing for easier comparison of values.

• Updated the Tile Server to use current data.

• Added the possibility to set a 3-phase operational voltage on network feeders.

• Improved the overall design of the scenario page.

Updated scenario page

Connection Request

• In D-A-CH-CZ, the flicker evaluation for generators can now also be performed if the flicker coefficient is not known.

• Improved "Ignore existing violations" in the Hosting Calculation and Connection Request features by recognizing load inversion.

• Improved clarity by adding symbols from the norm to DACHCZ input parameters and result quantities.

Static Calculations

• Newton Raphson powerflow algorithm now supports asymmetric grids.

• Feeders originating at a station without transformers are no longer considered a feeder. Instead, we extend the supplying feeder to make sure the supplying transformer is considered. Also, more transformers are considered when checking transformer overload violations (transformers supplying the feeder indirectly through another station are now also considered).

Simulation

• Limited the number of calculated individual alerts to 10'000 for performance reasons (previous limit was 100'000).

Monitoring

• Improved the overall styling of the .Mon project settings.

• Improved the performance of monitoring by reducing the default number of iterations and making concurrency options user-configurable.

New settings in .Mon to configure parallelization

Other

• Added support for Hong Kong Dollar (HK$).

• Improved the canceling of N-1 and GDI calculations.

• Introduced settings in the .Connect tab that allow the finetuning of the temporal behavior of a load situation (e.g. how far back in time to consider data).

Fixes

Grid

• Fixed a bug that caused the map view to change when navigating between pages (e.g. opening the connection request page would redirect to the last known location on the same page in the past).

• Fixed a bug that prevented ADD elements in a grid upgrade from being copied to another project when copying a grid.

• Fixed a bug that caused an extra popup to appear when pressing the Tab key after editing a field in the grid inspector.

• Fixed a bug that caused the voltage of a bus to be initialized to 0. This would lead to inconsistencies between the table overview and the grid inspector.

• Fixed a bug that caused the map view to not update when deleting a grid on the project overview page.

• Fixed a bug that caused virtual buses to be displayed on the project overview page.

• Fixed a bug that caused load situations to have a erroneous time interval.

• Fixed a bug that caused a load situation's extremum to be displayed in the wrong timezone.

• Fixed a bug that prevented various addons from being moved during GDI.

• Fixed a bug that allowed the grid to be modified even though it was locked, when clicking on elements in the map view.

• Fixed a bug that caused an exception on the grid upgrade page when editing/saving a fresh grid upgrade.

• Fixed a bug that caused the date of a load situation to be displayed in the wrong timezone (UTC).

• Fixed a bug that caused elements which belong to a station to be drawn even though the user wasn't inside the station.

• Fixed various issues between schematic and map view (or split) that displayed a wrong amount of grids.

• Fixed a bug that caused station elements to disappear when deleting a station in the grid editor. Instead the elements now are moved out of the station before deletion.

• Fixed a bug that caused the links in the grid inspector (on certain pages) to not select a grid when redirecting.

• Fixed a bug that caused the cursor pointer to be invisible when hovering over the "Export as Image" option in the dropdown on the grid overview page.

• Fixed a bug that prevented the GIS coordinates of transformers from being modified.

• Fixed a bug that caused the wrong power flow solver to be selected during GDI which would lead to errors.

• Fixed a bug that caused the consistency check to occur immediately after adding an element in a new grid upgrade.

• Fixed a bug that prevented the creation of additional load/generation in a default scenario (e.g. "Full load, no generation").

Connection Request

• Fixed a bug that allowed the spain ruleset to be selected in the settings despite the license not including it.

• Fixed a bug that prevented a connection request to be evaluated on a specific bus.

• Fixed a bug that led to the colorization and the voltage chart on the connection request page to consider all default addons, instead of the addon selection from the user.

• Fixed an error that appeared when using the INQUIRE API endpoint with coordinates close to grids without a network feeder.

• Fixed various bugs that allowed distances to be negative on the connection request page.

• Fixed a bug that caused an error to appear when loading a DACHCZ connection request when a transformer's primary or secondary turns ratio was missing.

Static Calculations

• Fixed a bug that led to the tabs of the powerflow page not being properly translated when reloading the page.

• Fixed a bug that caused elements on the powerflow page to not be colored properly when changing the active column.

• Fixed a bug that led to crashes during the future scenario calculation on small instances.

• Fixed a bug that caused the default device deletion behavior to be used during Instill even though a different one was selected in the settings.

• Fixed a bug that caused the selected option to be cleared when clicking the refresh icon on the stress test page.

Simulation

• Fixed a bug where only the default-ON add-ons were applied when selecting "Use settings for new simulation" in an older simulation.

• Fixed a bug that caused the wrong options to be displayed for PV and Wind devices in the unmetered behavior dropdowns in the settings.

• Fixed a bug that resulted in failed simulations to be displayed and in addition, errors to appear instead of warnings (e.g. if the grid is inconsistent).

• Fixed a bug that led to generators being considered in simulations with the wrong sign if they were considered through a reference profile scaled by the annual energy consumption of the generator.

Monitoring

• Fixed a bug that led to .Mon not starting after a GDI update, even if the corresponding checkbox was checked in the settings. This bug affected project which were created after 17.12.2024, despite being configured correctly.

• Fixed a bug that caused the simulation list to be hidden by a "+" icon.

Admin

• Fixed a bug that resulted in the general options being temporarily saved until the next application startup despite an error/warning popping up.

• Fixed a bug that caused the user to be be able to see the general options even though they were missing the super-admin role.

Other

• Fixed a bug that caused a user's loging to not be displayed in the logs when the user authenticated with ADFS.

• Fixed a bug that led to a page to setup or verify with multi-factor authenticaion when logging in with ADFS.

• Fixed a problem that led to crashes of the Adaptricity application. Crashes manifest as spontaneous logouts during the day or with the temporary error messages "Bad Gateway" and "404 Not found".

• Fixed a bug that caused an error in the combination chart of the device statistics when devices didn't have a bus associated with them.

• Fixed a bug that would display timezones with the wrong offset (even though they were applied correctly) in timezone dropdowns.

Deployment

Starting today, we are moving our maintenance window for the release of new Adaptricity versions and the maintenance of your Adaptricity instances on Tuesdays in the evening.
