Electical System Simulation

[BIGEYE]

Looking for a program that can do this:
Allow me to draw the high voltage open ring system of a site, consisting of
SF6 circuit breakers, ring main units and transformers.
This will be displayed on a pc screen and enable me to change the state of
circuit breakers and rmu's from open to close. This will only be what is
displayed on the screen and is for simulation - no actual connection or
control of field equipment.
For example, a transformer is supplied from a circuit breaker, the circuit
breaker is ON. The cable to the transformer would be one colour, if I
switched the CB off, the cable would change colour to indicate that supply
is off.
The program is for simulation purposes only so that it can be used to assist
in putting together switching schedules, and to aid functional switching.
Can anyone suggest a program available to do this?

TIA

You could design your own. Since no actual system changes or dynamics (such
as changes in power flows and voltages) are involved, it should be possible
to do this quite nicely in Visual Basic. Point at a breaker symbol, click
it to change state and symbol colour changes and line colour changes
(suggest 3 colours on at both ends, off at one end and off at both ends.
Not a big task. It is more of a task if you want to change the ring
geometry.
