Abstract

This work analyzes the reliability of the Swiss High Voltage Transmission System

(380kV and 220kV transmission lines). To do so, an agent based modelling approach

was used, where the different elements of a transmission system, i.e. generator, loads,

transmission lines and grid operator, were modelled as agents with specific charac-

teristics and behavior. The implemented model was compared with other, similar

studies which were carried out with respect to the Swiss High Voltage Transmission

System, to get an idea on the plausibility of the model approach and the obtained

results. Some of these results are explained in more detail, and in a final part the

Swiss Transmission Grid in its present topology is compared with different scenarios,

according to which the grid might be developed in the future.
