➤ Enhanced the out-of-step blocking logic to be more dependable during
single-pole open conditions.
➤ Added supervision to the quadrilateral phase and ground-distance ele-
ments for unusual unbalanced load conditions.
➤ Modified code to maintain VMEMC setting value during an upgrade.
➤ Added polarization voltage validation check to supervise quadrilateral
phase-distance elements
➤ Added the option to change settings groups with IEC 61850.
➤ Added the LPHD.Sim logical node so the relay will accept GOOSE
messages with the test flag asserted.
