The paper describes a simulation environment for research, development, integration, testing and deployment of plug-compatible power applications. By using this environment, the elapsed time from initial research to field deployment of new power applications can be dramatically reduced. The environment integrates the EPRI Operator Training Simulator with a Utility Software Development Framework. The Software Development Framework uses the EPRI Common Information Model and the EPRI Application Program Interface for supporting the integration of plug-compatible applications.
