In simulating complex power transmission systems it is an advantage to employ separately developed sub-models of the various components. There are, however, major difficulties in assembling such models into a complete system simulation. This paper discusses the problem and presents the concept of energy storage for linking adjacent sub-models. It develops the method to deal with systems coupled by shafts.
