The object oriented approach has gained wide spread importance and acceptance in software development due to the advantages it offers concerning flexibility, expandability, maintainability, and data integrity. For the purpose of determining a dynamic planning of a transmission system in a deregulated open access environment, an object-oriented market simulation model of power systems is proposed. Traditional power system analysis applications are realised with object-oriented programming methods. The presented concept makes use of these object-oriented applications, and its applicability to a real system is shown with the Chilean business structure
