Modeling and Simulation of Power Environments

Software embodied on non-transitory computer-readable media and when executed using one or more processing units operable to perform operations comprising:

• accessing configuration parameters for configuring a plurality of models operable to simulate operation of a power environment, a first subset of the plurality of models modeling power environment elements of the power environment and a second subset of the plurality of models modeling one or more external information sources, a first external information source comprising an environmental source operable to provide environmental data;
• initiating configuration of the plurality of models according to the configuration parameters, resulting in a configured plurality of models;
• accessing operating parameters indicating operating conditions for the plurality of models to simulate;
• and
• initiating execution by the configured plurality of models of a simulation of the power environment according to the operating parameters, the configured plurality of models interacting to execute the simulation, the simulation providing an indication of how the simulated power environment behaves according to the operating parameters.
