A graphical user interface for design, simulation and analysis of power plant electrical auxiliary systems

An interactive graphical user interface (GUI) package for the design, simulation and analysis of a power plant electrical auxiliary system is presented in this paper. The purpose of this package is to assist the engineer in performing nonreal-time, what-if, analysis in an interactive and intuitive environment. The package, AUXSYS, is capable of performing load flow and motor starting simulations. It provides a graphical interface for designing the one-line diagram of the plant and analyzing the output of the simulations. It is currently used for modelling Wisconsin Electric Power Company's (WEPCO) power plant electrical auxiliary systems and is implemented for use on PCs.<
