[0.19.0]​

Enhancements​

• Update super-pom to 0.36.0 for lucene and ktor dependencies.

[0.18.0]​

Breaking Changes​

• Updated to super-pom version 0.34.x.
• IdentifiedObject.addName has been refactored to take in a NameType and a String. This is doing the same thing under the hood as previous addName() function, but simplifies the input by lowering the amount of objects that needed to be created prior to adding names. Example usage change: obj.addName(nameType, "name", obj)) or obj.addName(nameType.getOrAddName("name", obj)) becomes obj.addName(nameType, "name")
• addName()/removeName() related function for both IdentifiedObject and NameType will now also perform the same function on the other object type. i.e. Removing a name from the identified object will remove it from the name type and vice versa. Same interaction is also applied to adding a name.
• Removed ProtectionEquipment.
• Change of inheritance: CurrentRelay → ProtectionEquipment. becomes CurrentRelay → ProtectionRelayFunction.
• Removed symmetric relation ProtectionEquipment ↔ ProtectedSwitch.
• Renamed CurrentRelayInfo to RelayInfo.
  • The override assetInfo: RelayInfo? has been moved from CurrentRelay to its new parent class, ProtectionRelayFunction.
  • Renamed RelayInfo.removeDelay to RelayInfo.removeDelayAt. The original method name has been repurposed to remove a delay by its value rather than its index.
• Reworked values for enumerable type ProtectionKind.
• Removed IdentifiedObject.removeNamesFromTypes(). Use IdentifiedObject.clearNames() instead.
• Removed DiagramServiceInstanceCache and NetworkServiceInstanceCache.
• The database has been split into three databases, which will change the imports of most related classes:
  1. The existing database containing the network model (*-network-model.sqlite) with classes in the network package.
  2. A new database containing the customer information (*-customers.sqlite) with classes in the customer package.
  3. A new database containing the diagrams (*-diagrams.sqlite) with classes in the diagram package.
• The database split has resulted in the database classes also being split, e.g. DatabaseReader is now NetworkDatabaseReader, CustomerDatabaseReader and DiagramDatabaseReader.
• Renamed the following tables (and their associated indexes):
  • battery_unit to battery_units
  • photo_voltaic_unit to photo_voltaic_units
  • power_electronics_connection to power_electronics_connections
  • power_electronics_connection_phase to power_electronics_connection_phases
  • power_electronics_wind_unit to power_electronics_wind_units
  • transformer_star_impedance to transformer_star_impedances
• The UpgradeRunner is no longer used by the database readers. You must now call it directly if you want a database to upgrade. This change has been put in place due to the splitting of the database.

New Features​

• Added getNames(IdentifiedObject) to NameType to retrieve all names associated with the NameType that belongs to an IdentifiedObject.
• Added getNames(NameType) and getNames(String) to IdentifiedObject so user can retrieve all names for a given NameType of the IdentifiedObject
• Added new classes and fields to support advanced modelling of protection relays:
  • SeriesCompensator: A series capacitor or reactor or an AC transmission line without charging susceptance.
  • Ground: A point where the system is grounded used for connecting conducting equipment to ground.
  • GroundDisconnector: A manually operated or motor operated mechanical switching device used for isolating a circuit or equipment from ground.
  • ProtectionRelayScheme: A scheme that a group of relay functions implement. For example, typically schemes are primary and secondary, or main and failsafe.
  • ProtectionRelayFunction: A function that a relay implements to protect equipment.
  • ProtectionRelaySystem: A relay system for controlling ProtectedSwitches.
  • RelaySetting: The threshold settings for a given relay.
  • VoltageRelay: A device that detects when the voltage in an AC circuit reaches a preset voltage.
  • DistanceRelay: A protective device used in power systems that measures the impedance of a transmission line to determine the distance to a fault, and initiates circuit breaker tripping to isolate the faulty section and safeguard the power system.
  • RelayInfo.recloseFast: True if recloseDelays are associated with a fast Curve, False otherwise.
  • RegulatingControl.ratedCurrent: The rated current of associated CT in amps for a RegulatingControl.

Enhancements​

• Added missing collection methods for RelayInfo.recloseDelays (RelayInfo was previously named CurrentRelayInfo):
  • RelayInfo.getDelay(sequenceNumber: Int): Double?
  • RelayInfo.forEachDelay(action: (sequenceNumber: Int, delay: Double) -> Unit)
  • RelayInfo.removeDelay(delay: Double?): Boolean
    • The original method with this name has been renamed to RelayInfo.removeDelayAt(index: Int): Double?.
• Cleaned up code using IntelliJ code inspection. Some typos in documentation have also been fixed.
• Added missing @JvmOverloads for the constructors of the following CIM classes: NoLoadTest, OpenCircuitTest, PowerTransformerInfo, ShortCircuitTest, ShuntCompensatorInfo, SwitchInfo, TransformerEndInfo, TransformerTankInfo, Pole, Streetlight, TapChangerControl, TransformerStarImpedance, BatteryUnit, PhotoVoltaicUnit, PowerElectronicsWindUnit, and EvChargingUnit.
• Added helper properties t1, t2, and t3 to ConductingEquipment which get the first, second, and third terminal respectively. A NullPointerException is thrown if there is no such terminal (e.g. evaluating br.t3 for a breaker br that has only two terminals).

[0.16.0]​

Breaking Changes​

• Deprecated old style accessors in favour of Kotlin accessors for SinglePhaseKind. To use the new function make the folloiwng modification to your code:
  • Kotlin:
    • spk.value() -> spk.value
    • spk.maskIndex() -> spk.maskIndex
    • spk.bitMask() -> spk.bitMask
  • Java:
    • spk.value() -> spk.getValue()
    • spk.maskIndex() -> spk.getMaskIndex()
    • spk.bitMask() -> spk.getBitMask()
• SetDirection.run(NetworkService) will no longer set directions for feeders with a head terminal on an open switch. It is expected these feeders are either placeholder feeders with no meaningful equipment, or are energised from another feeder which will set the directions from the other end.

New Features​

• PowerTransformerEnd now supports multiple ratings based on cooling types attached to the transformer. Use new addRating and getRating methods.
• Added new classes:
  • TapChangerControl
  • EvChargingUnit
  • RegulatingControl

• The TestNetworkBuilder has been enhanced with the following features:
  • You can now set the ID's without having to create a customer 'other' creator.
  • Added Kotlin wrappers for .fromOther and .toOther that allow you to pass a class type rather than a creator. e.g. .toOther<Fuse>() instead of .toOther(::Fuse) or .toOther( { Fuse(it) } ).
  • Added inbuilt support for PowerElectronicsConnection and EnergyConsumer
  • The to* and connect functions can specify the connectivity node mRID to use. This will only be used if the terminals are not already connected.
• Added + and - operators to PhaseCode and SinglePhaseKind.
• TraversalQueue now has addAll methods taking either a collection or varargs, which by default will just call add for each item, but can be overridden if there is an addAll available on the underlying queue implementation.
• Traversal has two new helper methods:
  • ifNotStopping: Adds a step action that is only called if the traversal is not stopping on the item.
  • ifStopping: Adds a step action that is only called if the traversal is stopping on the item.

Fixes​

• Asking for the traced phases as a phase code when there are no nominal phases no longer throws.
• Feeder directions are now stopped at substation transformers in the same way as assigning equipment incase the feeder has no breaker, or the start point is not inline.

Notes​

• Deprecated setting ratedS on PowerTransformerEnd.

[0.15.0]​

Breaking Changes​

• The CIM consumer clients (network, diagram and customer) have had the following changes:
  • Implemented the AutoCloseable interface. Existing applications that use any of the clients, but do not provide a gRPC stub directly to those clients, should be refactored to close the client in order to shut down the ExecutorService that is created under the covers.
  • You can provide an optional ExecutorService when creating a client, which is used to monitor the gRPC stub. If one is provided, it will be shutdown when the client is closed.
• Removed support for RecloseSequences. This functionality will be re-added to the model in later versions.

New Features​

• Added getCustomersForContainer to CustomerConsumerClient which allows fetching all the Customers for a given EquipmentContainer
• Added getDiagramObjects to DiagramConsumerClient which allows fetching all the DiagramObjects matching a given mRID.

Enhancements​

Fixes​

• Stopped the NetworkConsumerClient from resolving the equipment of an EquipmentContainer when resolving references. Equipment for containers must always be explicitly requested by the client.

Notes​

• None.

[0.14.0]​

Breaking Changes​

• Removed GrpcChannelFactory. The connect methods in the Connect object should be used instead. GrpcChannelBuilder may be used if more customisation is required (e.g. TLS client authentication).
• Renamed FeederDirection.has to FeederDirection.contains, which can be used via its operator version in. e.g. BOTH.has(DOWNSTREAM) can be replaced with BOTH.contains(DOWNSTREAM) or DOWNSTREAM in BOTH
• Removed deprecated function NetworkConsumerClient.getFeeder.
• Renamed function 'breadFirstSupplier' to 'breadthFirstSupplier' in 'BasicQueue' class.

New Features​

• Added EquivalentNetworkUtils class that contains utility methods to add equivalent networks to the edges of gRPC requested network services.
• Added methods for connecting to the gRPC service in a utility object named Connect:

• Fixed errors in the decoding fromm protobuf of optional reference mRIDs that were not assigned.
• Corrected string conversion of ServiceDifferences with NameType differences.

Notes​

• None.

v0.6.0​

Breaking Changes​

  • For fetching terminals for a ConnectivityNode

    getTerminalsForConnectivityNode(service: NetworkService, mrid: String)         
    

• NetworkConsumerClient.get_feeder() now resolves all references, and thus you can expect to receive a Feeder with all equipment and their associations populated.

• New class SwitchStateClient that allows you to set the current state of switches via a gRPC service.

• BaseService has two new functions which allow retrieving the UnresolvedReferences for an mRID by either toMrid or from.mRID:

• The AssignToFeeders was changed to assign all ConductingEquipment on the normalHeadTerminal side (inclusive) stopping at open points, head equipment for other feeders and substation transformers.
• You can no longer run AssignToFeeders directly on a feeder.
• getIdentifiedObjects in the consumer clients now returns a GrpcResult of a MultiObjectResult, which includes the map of objects added plus a new field failed which is the set of mRIDs that were not added to the service because another object with the same mRID already existed.
• getFeeder in NetworkConsumerClient now returns a GrpcResult as per getIdentifiedObjects
• addFromPb now return nullable types. They will return null when adding to the service returns false.
• NetworkProtoToCim.toCim(ConnectivityNode) will no longer update an existing ConnectivityNode if it already exists in the service. This brings the serialisation into line with all other toCim() functions, however means that deserialising the same ConnectivityNode multiple times will now fail rather than merging the ConnectivityNodes.
• Equipment is now added to a Feeder even if the phasing is broken. Side effect of this is un-ganged normal switching will no longer assign feeders correctly.
• Packages have been reworked, you will need to update your imports.
• Removed obsolete PositionPointParser.
• Improved connectivity when using XY phasing.
• Default value for transformerUtilisation property in PowerTransformer class was updated from 0.0 to NaN.
• Added PowerTransformerInfo class.
• Updated PowerTransformer's assetInfo property to hold instance of PowerTransformerInfo class.

New Features​

• None.

Enhancements​

• Updated Feeder to allow for updating the normalHeadTerminal if the feeder has no equipment assigned.
• Added transformer utilisation property to PowerTransformer class
• PhaseInferrer now supports Neutral phase.

Fixes​

• None.

Notes​

• None.

Notes​

• None.

v0.2.0​

Breaking Changes​

• ConnectivityResult is now immutable.

New Features​

• None.

Enhancements​

• Tweaked error handling in the put package.

Fixes​

• Database upgrade now takes its backup before changing the version table to change sets.
