Abstract

The smart grid, as a cyber-physical system, consists of both cyber subsystems (e.g., control, communication networks) and physical subsystems (e.g., power grid). As such, the investigation of the reliability, effectiveness, and impact of DERs on smart grid applications (demand- response, real time price, etc.) requires an integrated evaluation framework. In this paper, we design an integrated simulation platform to investigate the impact of DERs on smart grid applications (demand-response and energy market) under various adverse conditions, along with network architectures and protocols. Using real-world power equipment specifications and standard IEEE bus systems, we systematically evaluate the integration of DERs and the performance impact on demand response and energy markets with respect to uncertainties and different wireless network architectures and protocols. Our results are comprehensive, providing a concise representation of DER performance for the design and implementation of real smart grid system.
