An object-oriented approach for implementing power system restoration package

摘要

Due to many unforeseen circumstances that could happen in today's bulk power system, there is a possibility of a system wide outage. In order to provide aids to the power system dispatchers following a complete collapse of the power system, a prototype package has been developed. Through an interactive and friendly graphic interface, the package suggests a guideline for the dispatcher to restore the power system. With an aim to increase the ease of maintenance, an object-oriented technique was adopted to implement the package. The development of the software involved three stages: (1) object oriented analysis, (2) object oriented design, and (3) integration and testing. In this paper, the structure and the development procedure of the prototype system are presented.
