近年來系統調度環境由於自由化而日趨複雜，為了確保調度工作能確實執行並維持系統可靠度，其專屬的發電調度模擬程式越顯重要，在多種不同的模擬環境中，人類對於圖形辨識能力較其他表達方式較佳，因此藉由圖形使用者介面 (GUI) 程式能設計出專屬的圖形化介面，透過介面讓使用者能更直覺的操作，容易上手。本研究針對發電調度模擬系統建構圖形使用者介面，軟體係利用 MATLAB 為設計基礎，並搭配 SIMULINK 功能及使用者介面發展環境 (Graphical User Interface Development Environment, GUIDE)。使用者可由模擬分析及系統控制誤差分解之介面觀察其系統效能，並評估頻率調節服務及量化其成本，且可由即時估測的頻率響應特性值（β）規劃偶發備轉容量以因應偶發事故。其介面功能有助於調度人員了解系統性能並配置合理之備轉容量，以提供良好之供電品質。

In recent years, system operation is more complex due to the on going trend of electricity liberalization. To ensure the dispatch orders are effectively executed and system reliability is well maintained, a generation dispatch simulator has been playing an important role for operation analysis. Among the various options of simulating environment, graphical expression is easier to understand than other types of expression for human being. Therefore, it is easier for users to operate an exclusive graphical user interface (GUI). This thesis introduces a specialized graphical user interface to the generation dispatch simulation program. The core of the specialized GUI platform is based on MATLAB, SIMULINK software with graphical user interface development environment (GUIDE). With the simulated platform, users may prescribe the dispatching orders to observe the system performance from various operating assumptions, evaluate the regulation impacts, and proceed the cost allocation for customers. Furthermore, with the available β estimate, this simulator could analyze the allocation of sufficient contingency reserve for contingency events. The functions of the simulation interface is helpful for system operators to easily understand the system performance order various operating conditions, and allocating rational reserve, to ensure the high quality of the power supply.
