Abstract

Under the smart grid concept, new novel applications are emerging. These applications make use of information and communication technology (ICT) to help the electrical grid run more smoothly. This paper introduces SGcoSim, a co-simulation framework that integrates power system modeling and data communication to enhance smart grid applications. The framework utilizes OpenDSS for simulating power distribution components and OMNeT++ for communication modeling, enabling real-time peer-to-peer interactions via wireless sensor network (WSN) techniques. Virtual cord protocol (VCP) is deployed for efficient routing and data management within the field area network. SGcoSim’s functionality is demonstrated through two case studies: a phasor measurement unit (PMU)-based wide-area monitoring system and an integrated volt/VAR optimization with demand response (IVVO-DR) application. Results indicate significant reductions in energy consumption and power losses, highlighting the capabilities of SGcoSim.
