Abstract
Analysis of the impact of communication network infrastructure performance on critical power system applications that rely on wide area synchrophasor measurements can be realistically achieved only through co-simulation of the power system and the synchrophasor communication network. In this paper, a single simulation platform, an electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation program - PSCAD/EMTDC, was used to implement the detailed models of the components in a wide area synchrophasor network. Using the developed components models, a simple wide area damping control application was co-simulated to demonstrate the impact of communication latency, packet losses, and bit flip errors on the controller performance. It was shown that with the aid of co-simulations, application specific issues can be diagnosed and appropriate solutions can be investigated.
