Abstract :
Object-oriented approaches are more suitable for complex system simulations. In object-oriented systems, it is easy to represent the knowledge about the system being simulated by constructing object class hierarchies. The simulation model can then be built by creating instances from the classes of hierarchies. This allows a wide range of problems in a particular domain to be modelled and easily extended. The authors have implemented an object-oriented simulation system which simulates the transient process of a hydro-electrical power system using an object-oriented system development tool, GoldWorks II
