A Practical Guide to SysML: Systems Modeling Language
| Hi-index | 0.00 |
Modeling of the electrical grid is normally done using bespoke or custom tools and programs rather than generic modeling languages. This requires the engineer to develop the complete simulation system from scratch. In addition, it is difficult to model from different viewpoints and levels of abstraction. The models are normally created from a single perspective to solve a specific problem or analyze the system from a single point of view. The Systems Modeling Language (SysML) was developed by INCOSE and the OMG to provide general purpose modeling language for systems. Most published examples of SysML are of electro-mechanical software intensive systems in the aerospace and transportation industries. This paper documents a work in progress by the author to develop a model of an example electrical network, including the user interface to show how SysML can be used to model complex systems of systems. In addition, it shows how a simulation tool integrated with SysML provides a means of integrating multiple paradigms as well as a Human Computer Interface to the simulation.
