Public communication regarding power grid policy is difficult due to the unintuitive behavior of
electricity. This thesis presents the development of an easily understandable yet accurate model of the Dutch electricity network. The topology, production and load of the contemporary grid is studied using publicly available data. An accurate model of the grid is designed using stochastic modeling and data analysis techniques. An attempt is made to simulate the model using DC power flow techniques. The software is developed to be compatible with the Illuminator system, which can visualize the simulation in a physical model. The ultimate implementation of the model was unsuccessful. The design process and attempted simulation of the model is documented in this thesis.
