Abstract: The Modular Modeling System (MMS) developed by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) provides an efficient, economical, and user friendly computer code to engineers involved in the analysis of nuclear and fossil power plants. MMS will complement existing codes in the areas of nuclear and fossil power plant systems simulation. This paper provides a synopsis of MMS code features, development objectives, usage and results of fossil and nuclear plant simulation.
The MMS code is truly modular, with the modularity followed and maintained at the component and simulation language levels. These carefully defined modularity principles allow modelers to choose and interconnect any set of modules to represent physically realistic arrangements of plant systems and sub-systems and analyse them. Modeling time is reduced significantly. This large systems analysis package has been extensively tested at the development stage and is currently being used by 21 U.S. utilities to perform routine system calculations.
