The suite of advanced power system analysis tools inthe forefront of grid modernization
The CYME 8 Series, with itsfirst version released in 2016,has promised to deliver a newgeneration of our softwarestrengthening power systemmodeling and analyticalcapabilities, while taking userfriendliness to another level.CYME 8.2 continues to deliverits promise to invest in systemplanning and operation in thecontext of high distributedenergy resources (DER)penetration level, and to furtherthe development of a powerfuluser interface connectingsimplicity with efficiency.
Key new features include:• Several enhancements to
the Integration CapacityAnalysis (ICA) and DER Impact Evaluation, along with the refinement of DER equipment models.
• Enrichment of the time-seriesanalysis capabilities throughthe integration of the LoadFlow with Profiles Analysis andAdvanced Project Manager.
• Continuous improvement ofcore components such as theDynamic Data Pull and DataPush Publishing, ProtectiveDevice Analysis, AdvancedFault Locator and DistributionState Estimator.
• Additional reportingfunctionalities to ease thevisualization and interpretationof simulation results.
Partnering with utilities, listeningto the voice of the customerand leveraging our cutting-edgeengineering and IT expertise, theCYME team continues to servethe industry with a state-of-the-art engineering tool that bringsdependable results at users’fingertips.
Efficiency gains with the rightDER analysis toolsAs the electric power systemlandscape continues to evolvewith the global trend for cleanerenergy, utilities are facing variouschallenges associated with therequirements of our modernera. Increasing workload withlimited workforce, stringentregulations and high customerexpectations trigger the needfor contemporary tools enablingthe automatic, comprehensiveanalysis of networks subjectto current and future DERdeployment.

Visibility and awarenesson future off-peak systemconditions
The ever-increasing DERpenetration levels raise theinterest in hourly forecastsleveraging AMI and SCADAmeasurements for systemanalysis associated with long-term planning. As a result, theCYME Software has taken agreat leap forward in termsof time-series simulationcapabilities with the integrationits Load Flow with ProfilesAnalysis and Advanced ProjectManager.
The CYME Advanced ProjectManager module, assisting withlong-term network planning viaa toolset geared for efficientas-planned system assessmentand risk mitigation scenariocomparison, has seen itsframework evolve towards achronology-driven architecture.Time-stamped modelmodifications, addressing futureviolation through traditionalsolutions or non-wiresalternatives, now establish theproject timeline and enablecalendar-based navigation.When used in conjunctionwith the CYME Steady StateAnalysis with Load Profilesmodule, snapshot or long-termtime-range load flow analyses,ingesting feeder-level downto service-level forecasts, canbe performed on an electricsystem model that changesover time.
Profile and billing datamanagement as well astime-series analysis resultvisualization have also beenseamlessly integrated intothe CYME Software userinterface for the highest levelof user-friendliness.
