Title: Database management for power system planning: Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7243294

This project was undertaken to assess the suitability of representative commercial data base management system (DBMS) for serving as a basis for integrating power system planning analysis software. A data base design was developed for that purpose, and implementation was attempted using the chosen commercial DBMS. Implementation was carried only far enough to demonstrate limitations due to the current state of the art in DBMS practice, which are related in large part to a commercial rather than engineering orientation. The data base design for power system analysis software integration that was developed is described in full. It appears suitable for implementation, given suitable means, and alternative means are discussed. Such means include existing special purpose software for the integration of engineering software, and possibly special purpose data base machines. 7 figs., 13 tabs.
