چکیده

Open Source Software (OSS) expresses the idea that developers should be able to license the publication of their software in a manner permitting anyone to freely use, modify, and distribute the software. Today OSS is widely used in the software industry, such as for language development tools (e.g., NetBeans for Java), office document processors (e.g., OpenOffice), and operating systems (e.g., Linux, OpenSolaris). Yet OSS has been slow to penetrate the power industry; heavy reliance is still placed on closed-source commercial software packages. The OSS in use tends to be for specialized purposes (e.g., circuit design) rather than for the general-purpose analysis of power systems. This study discusses potential benefits and drawbacks of developing OSS for power market research, using the AMES Wholesale Power Market Test Bed for concrete illustration.

The AMES Wholesale Power Market Test Bed as a Stochastic Dynamic State-Space Game

The AMES Wholesale Power Market Test Bed is an agent-based computational laboratory designed for the systematic experimental study of restructured wholesale power markets. These notes show how AMES can be recast in more standard state-space equation form. The result is a highly nonlinear and highly coupled system of first-order stochastic difference equations. The AMES state-space equation repr...
