CYME Power Engineering Software

New Features CYME 5.04

Cooper Power Systems is proud to announce the release of the latest CYME
5.04 Power Engineering Software. CYME 5.04 extends its analytic and design
capabilities with new engineering analysis tools, new equipment modeling
capabilities and enhancements in one-line diagram editing and reporting
functionalities. CYME 5.04 is a comprehensive and reliable tool that satisfies the
need of power engineers working with any distribution, industrial and transmission
network.

CYME 5.04 for Distribution, Industrial and Transmission Systems

With the numerous enhancements and additions to the
software, this new version of CYME continues to deliver
quality and cutting-edge solution for distribution, industrial and
transmission system studies.
Growing alongside the Distributed Energy Resources (DER)
developments, CYME continues to invest in its ability to address
the needs of engineers who need tools to study various aspects
of DER interconnection. New tools include:
Long-Term Dynamics Analysis
Single-phase DER short-circuit contribution
Anti-Islanding protection for inverter-based distributed
generation (DG)
Analyses such as Load Flow, Optimal Capacitor Placement
and Harmonics have been enhanced with new options. The
new Fault Flow calculation engine is more robust and effective,
while fully supporting complex phase merging configurations like
most CYME analyses do. Optimal Power Flow (OPF) analysis,
an advanced system planning tool, has also been added. An
improved Advanced Project Management tool provides you a
powerful tool to create scenarios, compare, correct and merge
your study files in order to make your project planning hasslefree.
Equipment modeling capabilities have been extended with the
addition of new equipments and enhancements of existing
ones. Voltage regulator modeling now offers the by-phase
type and recognizes the distinction of its construction type.
Overhead line modeling has been revamped with detailed
spacing modeling. New additions to the equipment library
include busway, switchable shunt banks and more.

Distribution System Analysis

Advanced Project Manager

Long-Term Dynamics Analysis

CYMEs Advanced Project Management is

equipped with tools to help power engineers
work with their studies and plan their projects
in the most effective manner. This module
includes:

The Long-Term Dynamics Analysis is a timeseries simulation catered for the study of how
DER impact network controls such as load
tap changers and capacitors.
The variable DER output is affected by:
Insolation curves

Load and other generator profile curves
To properly simulate tap changing and
capacitor switching, the analysis also takes
into account:
Regulators tap changer delay,
mechanism delay, timer reset modes
Capacitors close delay, trip delay,
breaker delay

Project Editing and Time Positioning

create scenarios, position the study at
selected modification
Study Correction Wizard resolve any
error due to modification mismatch
between study files and database.
Study Comparison and Merge capability
compare two self-contained studies,
two scenarios or locations within a study.
Merge selected modifications from
studies.
Network Versioning create multiple
versions of the same network within the
same database.
Fault Analysis

Short-Circuit and Fault Flow analyzes dialog

boxes have been redesigned, and a new
fault flow algorithm that extends its analytical
capabilities is used. Features included:
Short-Circuit in phase domain for
multiphase networks
LLLG fault available
Single-phase DER contribution
Full Phase-Merging Capability

The analytical capability of more CYME

analyses have been extended to fully support
phase-merging, including bidirectional flow
sections.

System Analysis
Smart Grid Solution with Optimal Power Flow

CYMEs Optimal Power Flow (OPF) analysis

is an advanced system planning tool which
automatically finds optimal device settings
to satisfy selected objectives within specific
constraints. It is a powerful solution for
system performance optimization and costefficiency improvement.

CYME 5.04 for Distribution, Industrial and Transmission Systems.

FACTS Devices

To complement the implementation of

transmission line models, FACTS devices
have been added. These devices are:
STATCOM
UPFC

A choice of 11 different objectives is

offered, and they can be used individually or
simultaneously. Among these objectives are:
Minimize reactive power losses

DC Links

Minimize load shedding

CYME 5.04 has also incorporated the design

of HVDC links.

Maximize flat voltage profile

Minimize fuel cost
Controllable system variables include
generator power settings, transformer tap
settings, load participating in load shedding
and switchable reactive bank control.

Detailed rectifier and inverter transformer

modeling
Harmonic spectrum according to rectifier
and inverter parameters

Infeasibility handling and constraints relaxation

offer greater flexibility in system convergence
and OPF will always provide you with a
solution for better system asset management.
Transmission Line Models

Switchable Shunt Banks

Tower Configurations have been added to

CYME 5.04.

This new device would allow a group of

capacitor banks or reactor banks to be
switched on/off to control the voltage at a
given bus.

Double-circuit configurations and single circuit

configurations are now available, making the
modeling of a variety of tower configurations
possible.

Harmonic Line Models

The Harmonic Analysis has been enhanced to

include new line models such as:
Distributed transposed, with skin effect
Distributed transposed, frequencydependent
Distributed untransposed

System Analysis
Variable Frequency Drive

The variable frequency drive (VFD) can now be

represented as separate equipment with its
own database and network settings. The VFD
can now be connected to an induction motor
with a secondary cable and offers speed
control for motor starting analysis purposes.
Depending on the operating frequency, the
VFD can either be in constant current or in
constant power operating mode.

Series Fault and Simultaneous Fault Analyses

Two new fault analyzes have been added to

CYME 5.04:
Series faults conditions of one-phase
open, two-phase open or three-phase
series unbalance conditions
Simultaneous faults which could be a
shunt fault at more than one location or a
combination of shunt and series faults.

include:

This is implemented for electronically coupled

DG:
