Co-simulation of Cyber Physical Microgrid Considering Economic Constraints

With the increasing attention on Cyber Physical System (CPS) and Distributed Energy Resource (DER), the Cyber Physical Microgrids (CPM) has become a hot topic. However, how to synchronize the simulation time between the CPM co-simulation testbed is a difficult problem. To solve it, a co-simulation testbed for microgrids is established by considering TrueTime, a MATLAB/Simulink-based toolbox. Cases of a microgrid system using distributed economical control strategy are tested on this testbed. Simulation results show the influence of packet loss and bandwidth occupation, which prove the validity of this testbed.
