“…According to the survey results, the functions that have been included in most of the microgrid controllers include  economic dispatch for grid-connected and islanded modes (9),  peaking shaving (10),  loss minimization (8),  reserve management (9),  two-way communication (8),  emergency load shedding (10),  islanding (9),  resynchronization (8),  uninterruptible power supply (UPS) function for critical load (9), and  provision of requested support (9).…”

“…The survey results would suggest that many of the microgrid controllers are similar and that all of the functions have been derived. While vendors have laid claims to supporting these functions, a true comparison of the ability of a microgrid controller to perform these actions can only be demonstrated at real microgrids or microgrid testbeds [10], which is beyond the scope of this report.…”

“…Because microgrids are considered a reality for future power systems, in addition to their inherent operation complexity, it is mandatory to characterize their behaviors and performances, both in design and operation phases [7]. In this context, computer simulations favor the analysis and verification of many concepts and schemes related to microgrids [8].…”

The new paradigm of the electric sector, given the increased penetration of distributed generation, includes a growing number of microgrids. Therefore, the implementation of microgrids needs to be preceded by studies and simulations to evaluate the possible scenarios under which these systems will operate. This paper presents an overview of state-of-the-art technologies for microgrid simulation and describes an example implemented at the facility to which the first authors are affiliated.

“…In particular, Hardware Testbed, a converter‐based power system HIL emulation platform, is proposed in [27]. In [28], real‐time digital simulator and CompactRIO are applied for microgrid testing. A testbed for WAMPAC is proposed in [29] with inverter‐based power system emulation, protection devices, and communication in the loop.…”

The electric power system is intrinsically a cyber-physical system (CPS) with power flowing in the physical system and information flowing in the cyber-network. Testbeds are crucial for understanding the cyber-physical interactions and provide environments for prototyping novel applications. This study proposes a four-layer architecture for CPS testbeds with emphases on communication network emulation and networked physical components. A configurable software-defined network is employed to bridge physical components with wide-area applications for closed-loop control. In order to distribute physically coupled devices into multiple software simulations, this study proposes a data broker setup based on a distributed messaging environment to achieve low-latency data streaming. The decoupled design with data streaming allows for building testbed components as modules and running them in a distributed manner. Case studies verify the data broker setup for low-latency sensing and actuation, as well as the communication emulation setup for the desired network latency. Also illustrated is a replay attack scenario using synchrophasors in the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) 181-bus system for demonstrating the closed-loop cyber-physical simulation capability of the testbed.
