A cyber physical power system co-simulation platform

Transmission and distribution co‐simulation: a review and propositions

“…Co‐simulation has been applied in many different engineering domains including automotive, electricity production and distribution, energy and environmental life, IC design, maritime, and robotics. Several related references regard to co‐simulation in electrical systems are listed below: Cyber‐physical power systems: [1–11]. Mechanical and electrical co‐simulation in power systems [12].…”

“…Integrated T&D systems: [17–19]. Smart grid, ICT and communication systems: [2, 20–29]. Integration of real‐time (RT) simulators: [30–41] o Power hardware‐in‐the‐loop studies [8, 42–44].…”

Flexible hardware‐in‐the‐loop testbed for cyber physical power system simulation

“…In the sample testbed, DIgSILENT Power Factory is used as a non‐real‐time simulator for non‐real‐time co‐simulation. In the DIgSILENT Power Factory, the power grid elements and power devices such as transmission line, bus, generator, transformer etc., are modelled in the same simulator, and the interaction with other simulator is via software interface or communication packets [17].…”

“…In this study, the virtual SDH network and virtual data dispatching network functions are developed in QualNet. As a well‐known simulator, QualNet provides plenty of wired and wireless network models and protocol models for wired, wireless, and hybrid network analysis [17, 19], and can be used to simulate transmission delay, transmission interruption, and bit errors.…”

“…In this case, the IEEE 39‐bus model is used, as shown in Fig. 4 [17]. The AVC control located in the power control centre calculates the voltage adjustment values for buses every 5 s and sends the values to corresponding generators.…”
