abstract

  • This paper proposes a co-simulator that combines OMNeT++ for communication systems with PSS/E for the electrical transmission network. The co-simulator applies an event-driven synchronization method that minimizes errors due to delays in the synchronization between both simulators. The synchronization method pauses the simulation of the power system at each communication event, while a supervisory module in PSS/E returns control to the event simulator if any condition from a pre-specified set is met. The proposed co-simulator is demonstrated on a protection system based on peer-to-peer communication and used to evaluate the effect of communication latency times on an online state estimator.
