Abstract :
NEO DOMINO RESEARCH IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, a Brazilian consulting team, is developing for CELESC (ELECTRICAL CENTRALS OF SANTA CATARINA) an integrated computational simulator based on some general concepts of the GridLAB-D, an open source platform developed for the US DoE (Department of Energy of United States) by several research centers, to simulate the virtual and progressive deployment of automation components in smart grids of medium voltage. This computational platform will subsidize the preliminary planning studies to identify the technical and economic viability aspects, as well as the operational efficiency desired, already during the design of electrical networks aimed at optimizing physical and subsequent implementation.
