1 – Introduction
1 – Introduction
The CYME analysis module Automated Network Forecast Analysis aims at helping you plan your
network modifications and load growths over time. It inherits its main analytical and topological functions
from the Advanced Project Manager interface and the CYME existing modules.
In this perspective, you will use the Advanced Project Manager to create and manage your projects
(See the CYME Advanced Project Manager User Guide). You will also need the load allocation analysis
on an updated network in order to distribute the network peak load. Taking into account future changes
on the network, you will be able to simulate different scenarios that will allow you to identify and correct
load growths related problems. For example, you might simulate load flows and contingency analyses
under different circumstances, objectives or restrictions in order to forecast the demand for the planning
cycle time frame. Finally, the Results Viewer module facilitates the use, display and visualization of the
Automated Network Forecast Analysis reports.

Forecast Analysis. This new command is added to the list while conforming to the
commands execution priority.

When the commands must be executed before the selected element, the priority
scheme proceeds in the following order: Project  Sub-project Type  Subproject  Modification.

When the commands must be executed after the selected element, the priority
scheme proceeds in the reverse order: Modification  Sub-project  Subproject Type  Project.

The N-1 method will be automatically selected within the framework of the Automated Network Forecast
Analysis. This fact implies the utilization of strategic points to execute the analysis. Note that a strategic
point (or a strategic device) is a protective device that is identified as strategic on the basis of its role in
a pick up scenario. Normally closed strategic points will be opened and normally opened strategic
points will be closed before running the load flow analysis. Once the generation of reports is completed,
the network will return to its initial state.
Thereby, prior to proceeding to the contingency analysis, you must specify the strategic devices for
each line. For that purpose, you should first give the Strategic attribute to each device and then specify
its restoration mode as shown below.
Moreover, the use of a simplified view by strategic points will allow visualizing the strategic devices on
the network. You can display such a view by proceeding as follows:

In a load management context, select Custom (
) in order to define specific load limits for
contingency analysis. You cannot use load flow parameters because voltage limits are different for
contingency simulation. A load flow analysis will confirm these load limits for each switching scenario.
In the Cold Load Pickup tab, define utilization factors (P, Q) and pick-up factors. Set utilization factors
at 100% for the blocks that are not in contingency. For blocks in contingency, define a pick-up factor for
the block being recovered.
Finally, to obtain the values in the contingency reports, you need to define limiting points in the

Popup Menu
When you make a right click in the display window of the report, the following popup menu appears:
The commands of the stationary toolbar main mentioned above are mostly accessible through this
menu.
Available Reports Tree
The Available Reports Tree will display the list of reports required during the Automated Network
Forecast Analysis simulation; that means the list of reports contained in the directory provided in
Automated Network Forecast Analysis Output tab.
Contingent on the choice you make in the Summary Reports group box at the Output tab, you will be
able to generate a contingency report and a summary report for each distribution line, substation, and
zone contained in the simulation. In general, the tree will take the following form.
In the example above, the reports content of Voltage level and Zone will depend on the kind of network
grouping that was selected when creating the networks. Note also that you can change the texts Zone
and Voltage Level at the Text tab of the Preferences dialog box in CYME.

Backup Feeder
To generate this report for a backup feeder, position the cursor over the column header corresponding
to the desired feeder in the Contingency Report. The cursor should change to a hand shape as shown
below. Then click on the left mouse button. Note that the color code associated to Backup Feeder in the
legend indicates the cells that will serve as hyperlinks to the reports.
The following type of report will be opened for the selected feeder.
Block
It is a network area delimited by two strategic devices (See Analysis
Configuration: Parameters). During load transfer maneuver, one will open
and the other will close. Block row cells ID represent the device number of
the strategic point that will open.
Tie Section ID
This row cells ID represent the device number of the strategic point that will
close.
In the example illustrated above, you can conclude that Feeder CHY_203 will pickup the load of feeder
CHY_201 following the opening of device Y8H8D and closing of device O1X2C. Also, in the first
illustration, you may observe that the opening devices for the backup feeders CHY_203, CHY_211 and
CHY_213 are respectively Y8H8D, R9C5K, C9Y3R.
