Abstract

We present the design process of a highly portable integrated power system simulator developed to support investigation into human interface design for a complex hydro power system. The most important development phases of the simulator are described followed by insights that guided developers to the final version. The architecture of the simulator is explained in detail. The most important submodels are described to clarify the concepts and architecture used as well as minimal hardware requirements needed to run the simulator. Finally we present some of the results captured during experimental sessions performed with experienced controller-coordinator pairs
