A co-simulation platform for smart grid considering interaction between information and power systems

The data acquisition, protection and control of smart grid highly depend on advanced information infrastructures, which makes smart grid a coupled system of power and information networks. In order to assess the influence of the uncertainties within information networks on the performance of the real-time controls in smart grid, a co-simulation method is proposed in this work, based on which the OpenDSS and OPNET simulators are utilized to built a co-simulation platform. Results from the co-simulations of a modified IEEE test system validate the proposed method and platform.
