Abstract

The cost of electricity is an indicator of a country's level of development. This industry involves billions of dollars. Hence, the operation of Electric Power Systems constitutes a real problem that consists of a set of stages related to distinct components. In this paper, we propose a novel simulation model to study the state of transmission line systems due to scheduled and unscheduled maintenances. The simulation model is founded in an extension of the Discrete Event System Specification formalism called Routed DEVS. The transmission line system is modeled with a set of discrete-event simulation models that provide a complete state description of components. Such a simulation model can be adapted to describe any transmission line system through a network topology. A case study is presented with aims to show who the simulation works. Our proposal is the starting point to study real-life operations of Electric Power Systems from generation to transmission stages.
