  46. Some Suggestions PSAPAC Requires Improvements in the following aspects: • User-friendly interface; • Unified database management; • Graphic output; • Network diagram display.

  47. Some Suggestions • We found that the time step of ETMSP should be at least 10 times smaller than BPA in order to get the same precision in the case of hybrid ac/dc system. Enhancement of HVDC model and improvement of integration algorithms can be carried on. • The command line user interface is inconvenient to use. Windows-based interface should be developed.
