The purpose of this study was to develop an engineering-grade digital computer simulation program for a single-area power system and to hold a workshop at which this simulation package would be presented. This and the companion volumes present our philosophy of modeling a power system and demonstrate the simulation capabilities of the area control simulator. The results of this research study have been the development of the area control simulator computer program; the conduct of the Area Control Simulator Workshop held May 1-3, 1979; and the creation of the Technical Manual (Volume 1), the Programming Manual (Volume 2), and the Program Listing (Volume 3). The above-mentioned three volumes, in addition to a fourth volume, Multiarea Models, serve as a final report for this project. This volume is presented to provide the area control simulator user with an understanding of our philosophy of modeling and of the system dynamics that are being simulated. Programming questions regarding the area control simulator computer program should be referred to the Programming Manual and the Program Listing.
