Run Mode Introduction<br />

The Run Mode is used to solve a single Power Flow Solution, run one of the available load flow tools,<br />

or run a time-domain simulation of the power system. To access the Run Mode, click on the Run<br />

Mode button in the Mode group of the <strong>Simulator</strong> Ribbon.<br />

The key menu associated with the Run Mode is the Simulation menu. This menu allows you to perform<br />

a single Power Flow Solution (however, it is quicker to use the Quick Access toolbar).<br />

Other key components of the Run Mode include:<br />

The oneline diagrams, which allow you to view the case graphically. See Oneline Diagram<br />

Overview for details.<br />

The Case Information Displays, which allow you to view the entire power system case using list<br />

displays. See Case Information Displays for details.<br />

Dialogs to change the simulation options and the Power Flow Solution. See Simulation Options for<br />

details.<br />

Scaling to allow easy variation in the load, shunts, and generation at any number of buses. See<br />

Scaling for details.<br />

Contouring, which shows a color contour representing the variation in any power system<br />

parameter across a system. See Contouringfor details.<br />

Transfer distribution factor calculations. See Power Transfer Distribution Factors for details.<br />

Perform a fault analysis. See Fault Analysis for details.<br />

Run Transfer Capability studies.<br />

Perform an Optimal Power Flow (OPF) or Security Constrained Optimal Power Flow (SCOPF)<br />

analysis.<br />

Generate PV and QV curves.<br />
