The complexity of systems and their multi-faceted
relationships mean that the combined application of
simulation methods, or hybrid simulation, will enable
synergies across techniques and will provide greater
insights to problem solving. In this paper we present a
hybrid simulation case study in which two models have
been developed; an Agent-Based Simulation (ABS) and a
Discrete-Event Simulation (DES). The models simulate the
operations of offshore wind turbines, with the ABS
modelling turbine failure (through, among other things,
simulating a degradation model of turbine components) and
the DES modelling Maintenance, Repair and Operations
(MRO) strategies. The models have been implemented in
NetLogo and Simul8 respectively. In this paper we review
strategies for the interoperation of our hybrid ABS-DES
model and discuss the advantages of using the IEEE 1516
HLA standard for distributed simulation for dynamic
information exchange and synchronized model execution.
