A Method for Multi-Platform Co-Simulation via API-Based Interfaces Using Powerfactory and Matlab/Simulink

To address the challenge of multi-time scale analysis in power system, various interface technologies that can realize co-simulation have been proposed. This paper presents a novel interface for multi-platform co-simulation based on API and programming techniques. This proposed method overcomes the functional limitations of existing interfaces by allowing the customized function. This API-based interface is developed for integration between PowerFactory and Matlab, and its effectiveness is evaluated by comparing with other interface types, demonstrating its potential to advance the field of power system analysis and simulation. This research contributes by providing a customizable and efficient solution for multi-platform co-simulation.
