A Windows-based interactive and graphic package for the education and training of power system analysis and operation

This paper presents a Windows-based interactive graphic package developed by the authors for the education and training of the power system modeling, analysis and operation with a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) and visual database management system (VDBMS). To achieve this goal, the package is designed to have following features: a graphic editor to visually edit the power system diagram; Windows-based power system database to interactively manage the data; graphic representations; animation; and interrupting schemes. The application programs in this package include the power flow calculation, transient stability analysis, fault analysis, economic dispatch and automatic load-frequency control. This package may be useful for educational and training purposes
