This paper is concerned with power system modeling using the Modelica language in comparison to a traditional simulation tool. Though most common power system simulation tools are computationally efficient and reasonably user-friendly, they have a closed architecture. Thus, there is motivation to use an open-source modeling language to describe electric networks, such as Modelica. A well-established benchmark for power system studies was analyzed. Regarding the voltage as a function of time, a reasonable agreement was found between the simulation results of the used simulation tools for long-term voltage stability. However, a comparison of faster electromechanical mechanisms, such as rotor angle stability, demands more detailed models in the Modelica tool.
