Abstract
GridSim is a combined simulation-emulation platform for studying wide area monitoring and control in the power grid. The GridSim platform comprises a commercial transient stability simulator, modified to produce streaming outputs synchronized to real-time, combined with realistic network infrastructure and industrial and research power software programs. GridSim constitutes a viable platform for time-faithful simulation of wide-area monitoring and control aspects of power grids, allowing for integration with existing power applications and equipment among other uses. The platform achieves low variance in the delay between output rounds verified by external monitoring using a common reference clock. The design goal for the roundtrip time in GridSim's wide-area control support was 100 milliseconds, which the platform has shown to consistently to surpass: measured round trip delays fall between 50ms and 75ms.
