This paper illustrates applications of the Component Object Model (COM) for power system software developments. As an integral part of Microsoft's component services, COM has gained increased popularity for developing enterprise applications. This paper illustrates the concepts of COM and the latest developments as well as the available tools for developing COM components. Possible COM applications for developing power system software, such as sparse matrix manipulation, fault location, genetic algorithm applications, and so on. are presented. Advantages and promises brought about by COM are manifested through these examples.
