Abstract

Supply continuity is a key factor in product quality in electrical utilities. Improvements can be achieved by major capital investment in new lines or by equipment and procedural changes. Simulation provides management with a tool whereby they can investigate the expected improvements before any changes are made. A special purpose simulator can provide a user friendly interface, insulating the user from the inherent difficulties of an underlying simulation system. This paper presents a detailed GPSS/H model and MS Windows front end which provide an integrated simulator for investigating repair operations. The results of extensive runs performed with the system are also presented.
