Simulator 16 User Guide - PowerWorld

When this box is checked, all violations that are normally being ignored during the contingency
analysis (for example, base case violations) will be written to the report. Included with this option is
the ability to show the different rating sets for each violated element.
Limit Type Violations to Include
Check the boxes of the types of violations you would like to be written to the report. This
corresponds to the Report only limit type with violations for each contingency option above.
Maximum Violations of a single type to report
Enter the value of the maximum number of violations of a single type to be written to the report.
Create database-friendly tables
Checking this box will create three additional files for viewing contingency results:
FILENAME_ctgelem, FILENAME_ctgviol, and FILENAME_ctgstat where FILENAME is the name of the
file where the main report is saved. The user can choose which symbol to use to separate the
columns by choosing a delimiting symbol. These files can be easily imported into a database or
spreadsheet program such as Access or Excel as delimited text files, where they can be analyzed
more rigorously. These files will be automatically created and saved in the same folder as the main
report.
Produce Report
Clicking this button will open a Save Dialog for selecting the file to which the report should be
written. The file is saved as a text file (*.txt). Enter the file path and name and click Save to write
the report to the selected file. After saving the file, a dialog will provide the option of viewing the
report file immediately.
