Abstract

Modeling and Simulation of dynamic structure systems present some difficulties, particularly those represented by Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAEs), as structural changes often require modifying equations. To address this, we propose a methodology to build simulators based on Theory of Modeling and Simulation, laying as a foundation for rigorously handling such systems. Our proposal consists of a modular, domain-independent simulator where system’s behavior can be represented by DAEs. Systems are represented as graphs, dynamically updated at each step based on predefined scenarios. The simulator automatically generates and processes equations using transformation rules applied to input graphs. To demonstrate the feasibility of our proposal, we apply it to the domain of power systems, particularly the Load Flow Analysis process.
