Abstract

This paper discusses the benefits of using Microsoft Windows to construct special purpose simulators. Microsoft Windows has several features which makes the development of special purpose simulators easier than ever before. The development of a special purpose simulator for the Irish Electricity Supply Board (ESB) is described. This simulator models the network fault location and repair procedure and assists the ESB to find ways to reduce the length of power cuts. Visual Basic was used to design a user interface to a GPSS/H model and greatly assisted the development of the simulator.
