An educational electric power simulator

Electric power system is a network of electrical components used to supply, transmit and use electric power. Due to the complexity and non-linearity of the power system, hand calculations may be very complicated in some cases, especially when the number of buses or inputs is very large. The aim of this paper is developing an electric power system software that focuses on three main concepts in power system analysis: fault calculation, power flow calculation, and economic dispatch calculation using GUI/MATLAB. This tool is considered as an educational interface that could be used by EE students helping them in analyzing the principles of a given power system.
