Renewable Energy Power System Modular Simulator: RPM-SIM User's Guide (Supersedes October 1999)

This version of the RPM-SIM User's Guide supersedes the October 1999 edition. Using the VisSimtm visual environment, researchers developed a modular simulation system to facilitate an application-specific, low-cost study of the system dynamics for wind-diesel hybrid power systems. This manual presents the principal modules of the simulator and, using case studies of a hybrid system, demonstratessome of the benefits that can be gained from understanding the effects of the designer's modifications to these complex dynamic systems. ;
