Additional Product Information
Program EPSIM has been developed by Power & Water Systems Consultants Ltd. (PWSC) for the rapid definition, evaluation, comparison and optimisation of power system expansion plans. EPSIM has been specifically designed to provide :
· modelling and economic evaluation of integrated generation and transmission system expansion plans, including explicit consideration of imports and exports;
· a graphical user-interface (GUI) to simplify and verify data inputs, and the screen display and printed output of detailed and consolidated results in both graphical and tabular form;
· the interactive definition and graphical display of alternative expansion plans;
· facilities for modelling Private Power Agreements (PPA's) and their associated impacts on system operation, as they may apply to power generation and transmission network usage;
· robust and computationally efficient routines for performing both deterministic and probabilistic load dispatch simulations, with the required level of detail being specified by the user;
· explicit consideration of demand management measures, as well as the costs of unserved energy, on a demand centre basis;
· full transparency of all analytical processes via permanent fully annotated (ASCII) input and output files, and their graphical interpretation.
· database storage of alternative expansion plan evaluation results, system component details and electricity demands;
· a Monte Carlo based optimisation facility for the automatic definition, screening, and evaluation of alternative expansion plans;
· data compatibility with the WASP and AS-PLAN generation system planning packages.
