WindMil Analysis
Results formats
Important fields
Integration with ESRI
Symbology Options
WindMil Base Analysis
• Voltage Drop
– Voltage
– Capacity
– Current
– Thru Load
• Fault Current
– All Fault Values
– Accumulated Impedance
Some other Analysis Functions
•
•
•
•
Capacitor Placement
Coordination
Transformer Load Management
Contingency Analysis
Results
• Voltage Drop and Fault Current
– Stored in CalData.dat and CalData.idx files within
the .wm folder
– Only reside on model where analysis was ran
– Reach new run replaces values from previous
• Can be exported to .rsl text file
• Can be exported into custom text files via
selected element window
Voltage Drop Common Fields
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Voltage
Thru Amps
Cumulative drop
Capacity Percentage
Thru kW
kVAR
Thru Consumers
Fault Current Common Fields
•
•
•
•
Max PhGd Amps – Single Phase Fault
Min PhGd Amps – Minimum Fault
Three Phase Amps – Three Phase Fault
Three Phase Gd Amps – Three Phase
Grounded Fault
• Max Possible Fault – max value of all faults
calculated
Getting Data into WindMilMap
• Results data does not current synchronize
– No way to automatically push data form WindMil
analysis into ESRI
• Future development plans call for automated
way to allow engineer to update analysis
results across enterprise system
Options Available
• Create a new model and geodatabase to
represent analysis results
– Use model that analysis were ran in and saved
– Data fields will be populated and can be added to
the geodatabase for symbolizing
• Use External Tables
– Export data fields from WindMil
– Import into a new SQL table
– Symbology will be based on external field names
Using External Tables
• Create a new table in the external table DB
• Create new fields, with unique names, for
each analysis result field
• Import data from .csv file into new table using
Bulk Insert command
External Table Manager
• Create a new Table Link
– Link to the new analysis result table
– Make WMGUID the linking field
• Change table use for corresponding elements
– For Example, viewing transformer overloads, only
changed table use for transformers
Example 1 – Overloaded Xfmrs
• Goal: Symbolize a map of all transformers
loaded greater than 100%
• Steps
1. Export Data Fields out of WindMil
2. Create table in SQL DB
3. Import data into SQL
4. Modify External Table Manager
5. Setup Symbology Layer
Export Data Fields
• Build Query
• Select Elements
• Export File
Query
Export Data
• Right-click grid to export data to text file
• File will be comma separated
Setup SQL Table
External Table Settings
Select Overloads in Map
• Used Global Editor to select desired features
Create New Layer
• Right click transformer layer to create new layer from
selected
Symbology Setup
Label Setup
Final Map
Example 2 – Voltage Gradients
• Export voltages out of WindMil
• Create data in SQL database
• Create new layer
– Overhead lines used
• Setup Graduated Sybmology
Voltage Symbology
Sampling Warning
• Default Sample Size – 10,000
– Number of features in layer
– Use “Classify” to edit Sampling
Manual Ranges
Voltage Map
Combining Both Symbol Options
• Transformer Overload
– Use Graduated Symbols by overload %
• Makes symbols larger and smaller based on values in
field
• Could be used on entire layer, so specific overload layer
Modified Transformer Map
Other analysis results
• Capacitor Placement
– New capacitors queried into new layer and
assigned unique symbol
• Coordination Analysis
– Failed coordination reflects area where devices
should be modified or replaced
• Contingency Analysis
– Symbolize switches opening and closing during a
re-feed of part of the system
Final Thoughts
• Future Development will Sync these results
fields resulting in “Live Data” from EA
• Creation of new layers allows for endless
symbology options
• As of now, there are options for symbolizing
results in the model
