Internet, Open-source and Power System Simulation

This paper presents an overview of the InterPSS project - an Internet technology based open-source power system simulation software development project, and discusses its system architecture, development process, extension mechanism and testing process. InterPSS features an open architecture, allowing advanced user to plugin additional modules to augment its functionality and/or change its behavior. InterPSS could potentially become an Internet-based platform for user participation, collaboration and further innovation in the area of power system simulation.
