Move copy power blocks

9.10 Move/copy power blocks

This module mainly includes functions such as moving power blocks, copying power blocks, copying results to similar power blocks, copying results from similar power blocks, and replacing power blocks.

9.10.1 Moving/copying power blocks

After moving and copying, the logical relationships between the arrays, devices, cable routes, and cable laying results are retained, and the arrays and devices are reprojected on the terrain.

(1) After activating the tool, first select the power block.

(2) Right-click - "Move" or "Copy".

(3) Select the base array, move the power block with the mouse, switch the alignment mode through the "Tab" key, and input accurate movement values through the keyboard.

(4) After completing step (2), users can press "Enter" key to enter to the array copy function, and a dialog box will pop up:

"Reserve transformer threshold": The power blocks copied to the vicinity of the zone boundary may not be complete. When the reserved strings less than the set ratio, only the arrays will be copied. Users can use "Auto create" or "Assist create" of "Power block" function to redivide these strings.

The copied effect is as follows:

9.10.2 Copy results to similar blocks

This function is applicable to projects that have completed the division of power block. Using this function, the electrical connection results, cable routes, and cable laying results in a certain block (template block) in the model can be copied to the same power block (same blocks) or similar power blocks (similar blocks).

(1) Operation

①After activating the tool, first select the power block. At this time, only one power block can be selected.

②After selecting the power block, right-click to bring up the right-click menu and select "Copy results to similar blocks".

③In the pop-up dialog box, select the content to be copied from the "Copy project" and check the checkbox for the same or similar blocks number that needs to be copied (multiple choices are allowed). Click the "Copy" button to complete the copying process.

When the checkbox next to the same or similar blocks number is checked, the software will automatically position on that block.

(2) Determination of same and similar power blocks

When a block meets the following requirements with the target block, it can be defined as the same or similar block as the target unit.

Judgment criteria	Judgment item	Same block	Similar block
String	Azimuth angle	Completely identical	Completely identical
	Quantity	Completely identical	Deviation ≤ 5%
	Total rated DC power of the string	Completely identical	It's different
	The total area of the string	Deviation ≤ 1%	Deviation ≤ 5%
	Serial number of groups	Completely identical	Maximum difference of 1 line
Transformer	Confluence mode	Completely identical	Completely identical
	capacity	Completely identical	Difference within 10%
	The proportion of deviation area after stacking the outer contour area according to the center of the transformer	Deviation ≤ 0.5%	Deviation ≤ 10%

(3) Description

"Copy project": The software will copy the electrical connection results, cable routes, and cable laying results of the target block to the same or similar blocks.

Template block
		Before copying	After copying
Same block
Similar block

Users can query the replication logic related to this function based on the following table:

Copy project	Check status	After copying
		Same block	Similar block
Combine results	√	Copy the electrical configuration, combine device, and combine results from the template block to the same or similar blocks.
Cable route	√	Copy the cable routes from the template block, with the transformer center as the replication reference point, to the same or similar block
Cable laying	Only effective if "cable route" is checked
	√	Copy the cable laying results from the target block to the same block with the transformer center as the replication base point, and clear the generated bridge solid model	Clear the original cable laying results and generated bridge solid models of the same or similar blocks

9.10.3 Copy results from similar blocks

This function can select an same or similar template block for a specified block, and copy the result of the template block to the specified block.

(1) Operation

①After activating the tool, first select the power block. At this time, only one power block can be selected.

②After selecting the power block, right-click to bring up the right-click menu and select "Copy results from similar blocks".

③In the pop-up dialog box, select the content to be copied from the "Copy project" and check the checkbox for the same or similar block number to be copied (single choice only), then click the "Copy" button to complete the copying process.

9.10.4 Replace power blocks

This function can replace the array layout results, transformer location and capacity, combine results, cable route, and cable Laying results of the selected block into a power block that has exactly the same outer contour as the Array of the selected block.

(1) Operation process

①After activating the tool, first select the power block. At this time, only one power block can be selected.

②After selecting the power block, right-click to bring up the right-click menu and select "Replace Power block".

③In the pop-up dialog box, check the checkbox next to the block number that needs to be replaced (multiple selections are allowed), and click the "Replace" button to complete the copying process.

(2) Criteria for determining the same block: The outer contour line of the array is exactly the same as the selected power block.
