Evaluation of smart grid control strategies in co-simulation — integration of IPSYS and mosaik

This paper presents two different aspects considering a co-simulation of smart grid scenarios. First considers representing the control strategy in a separate discrete event simulation developed in a multi-agent platform. This study investigates the design and implementation of such a simulator. Special attention is given to timing issues presenting time variant and time invariant models. The second aspect presented in this paper is the co-simulation composition, investigating how to integrate a control simulation with other simulators in a co-simulation ecosystem. In this study the attention is given to the co-simulation scheduling, proposing two integration approaches: overall control and separate domain. Results from a proof-of-concept implementation are included.
