Abstract

Multiple simulation tools have been built and studied independently in the communications and power system perspectives of IEEE P2030 to study new Smart Grid applications. However, very few studies have been done on co-simulation by combining both perspectives in a multidiciplinary manner. In this paper, we show implementation details of our novel communications and power distribution network co-simulator based on OMNeT++ and OpenDSS. We then demonstrate the novelty of our co-simulator by showing the impact of data rate-based and event-based sensors on reactive control algorithms of plug-in electric vehicles to reduce critical voltage durations.
