Abstract

Abstract : As wide‐area measurements and control techniques are being developed and deployed for a more resilient power system; the modern power grid is strongly integrated with its communication network. By combining power systems with communication network simulator, co‐simulation technique or platform enables the simulations of electric power systems in which communication network properties can be taken into account. In this study, a real‐time hybrid simulation platform is proposed and implemented, which can be used to implement electromechanical transient real‐time electric power simulation of a large‐scale power system and emulate the measurement, control and communication process of wide‐area power grids. Applications to study the phasor measurement unit measurement error and wide‐area monitor and control are presented, which further illustrates the important role of this platform in power system simulation and analyses.
