Development of Integrated Power System Analysis Package IMPACT

—Improvement in Efficiency of Power System Analysis by Use of Graphical User Interface—

Abstract

This paper describes the new scheme to enhance data handling for deducing efforts on power system analysis. Generally, power systems are very large and containing great many power devices. Further more, conventional applications for power system analysis are developed individually and requiring complicated and different data format so that power system operators and planners are always forced heavy labor and widely experienced. To reduce efforts on power system analysis, it is necessary to increase efficiency of data handling. Many useful data handling schemes can be provided by the latest information technology (IT). In this paper, the example of applying graphical user interface, data base function and Python script to data handling for power system analysis will be introduced. These schemes are all installed in the power system analysis application package, named IMPACT.
