Volume 7, Issue 2 - February 2012
News
The CYME 5.04 power engineering software has just been released.
CYMCAP 6.0 will be released shortly. This new version is featuring cable damage curve calculations along with new drag and drop facilities.
New on the CYME web pages : tutorial videos illustrating the modeling and analysis capabilities of our software.
See: http://www.cyme.com/ tutorialvideos/.
Mark your calendars for June 19 to 21 for the annual CYME Users Group open to the CYMDIST and
CYMTCC North American and worldwide community of users.
The event will feature presentations of the latest developments of the CYMDIST power engineering software for distribution analysis and the CYMTCC software for protective device coordination. The agenda will include presentations, workshops and training sessions that will cover various subjects of interest to the distribution engineer. An open forum and one-on-one meetings complete the CYME Users Group program where the participants can share about experiences and challenges with their peers and our engineers.
In addition, optional training workshops will be offered on the 22nd for those who wish to get more in-depth training with the CYMDIST and the CYMTCC analyses.
In a few weeks, signup information and a detailed agenda will be sent to registered CYME users.
Upcoming Events
Registration to the next
CYME Users Group in
Montreal (June 19 to 21) will be on line next March.
The next CYMDIST and
CYMTCC training is scheduled to take place next March in Atlanta,
Georgia. See www.

The CYME tutorial videos and webinars are available to any power engineer interested to learn more about the modeling capabilities and the analysis functionality of the CYME suite of power engineering modules.
New on the CYME web pages, are tutorial videos that illustrate the ease of use of the CYME functionality applied to network modeling and power engineering analysis Several topics are presented and new ones will be added regurlarly.
In addition, with a program started in 2009, the
CYME webinars are coming back this year with topics covering the key features of the CYME software applied to real cases or to textbook cases such as IEEE. Each webinar is conducted by a CYME engineer presenting the subject and answering immediately to the questions of the participants.

February 2012
Cooper Power Systems is pleased to announce the release of the CYME 5.04 power engineering software for the modeling and analysis of transmission, distribution and industrial networks. The CYME 5.04 suite of simulation applications is one of the most reliable tools designed to meet the needs of power engineers working with any distribution, industrial and transmission network.
The modeling capabilities introduced include tower configuration, FACTS devices, DC links, switchable shunt banks, variable frequency drives modeling; harmonic line models, and enhanced DG modeling.
Insolation, wind speed, load and other generator profiles have also been added to the CYME model libraries.
On the analysis side, several enhancements have been made to existing modules and new simulations are now possible, including long term dynamics analysis, single-phase Distributed Energy Resources short-circuit contribution, anti-islanding protection for inverter-based distributed generation; as well as series fault and simultaneous fault analysis.
See a comprehensive list of new features on the web: http://www.cyme.com/software/cyme/B1170-
11038-CYME504-New-Features.pdf
Transmission and Industrial
With CYME 5.04, the integration of the PSAF features specialized for transmission and industrial power systems is now complete. The functionality introduced in this new release even goes beyond with several improvements and additions useful for the modeling and analysis of transmission and industrial networks.
Distribution
The distribution engineer working with the CYMDIST subset of CYME applications also benefits from the enhancements listed above in addition to full phase merging capability, extended short-circuit and fault flow analyses, enhanced editing/correction/time positioning capabilities of the Advanced Project Manager module, among others.
The precise design of grounding grids contributes to the improvement of substations’ reliability, equipment protection and overall safety of the personnel during fault conditions.
Efficient analysis algorithms and powerful graphical facilities render CYMGRD a unique tool that helps the engineer analyze various design alternatives and arrive at technically sound and economical designs.
CYMGRD allows the precise calculation of stepand-touch values, grounding system’s resistance, ground potential rise (GPR) and potential gradients at the soil surface for grids of any shape. In existence since 1995, the program conforms to IEEE
80™ 2000, IEEE 81™ 1983 and IEEE 837™ 2002; and has been constantly upgraded and refined.
CYMGRD is today one of the most user-friendly software suited for the design of grounding grids for utility networks and industrial plants power distribution.
