Abstract

Recurrent energy planning issues cited in the literature are (1) the growth in demand for energy, (2) the challenge of diversity in energy supply and (3) the concern about energy security and environmental constraints, particularly the challenge of climate change (Safi et al. 2012). Decision-makers in the power system infrastructure domain have to deal with physical and financial constraints as well as uncertainties related to renewables, costs, etc. (Van Dam 2009). In this research, Spark!, an energy system simulation model developed on a DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) platform, offers a realistic representation of large scale power grids. The model captures the intermittence of renewables, constraints of conventional generation resources, geographical and climate information, the transmission capacities, and offers flexible time resolution.
