ASPEN-EE
Sandia National Laboratories, USA - economic micro-simulation - focus: short-term electrical market - impact of market structure and power outages - simple model of power generation, no transmission or distribution

IRRIIS

N-ABLE
National Infrastructure and Analysis Center (NISAC) - agent-based simulation based on micro-economic data - simulation of economic shocks (power outages) - calculation of macro-economic data - very, very simple communication model - interdependencies between banking and telecommunication

IRRIIS

SEPIA Simulator for Electrical Power Industry Agents Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) - Market scenarios; Simulations on real-time pricing - Adaptive Agents - Power transmission, information flows, money transfer

IRRIIS

CISIA Critical Infrastructure Simulation by Interdependent Agents

-

University Campus infrastructures Power supply, information infrastructure, air conditioning Very abstract level

IRRIIS

GIS-based simulations
University of North Carolina - Fictional town with power transmission and distribution, gas distribution, telecommunications and transportation - Agents reason about the effects on the infrastructures

IRRIIS

EPOCHS Electric Power and Communication Synchronizing Simulator - distributed simulation environment - PSCAD/EMTDC electromagnetic simulator - PSLF electromechanical simulator - NS2 communication simulator - evaluation of a special agent-based protection scheme
