Estudo e desenvolvimento de um ambiente de simulação para aplicações de redes elétricas inteligentes utilizando o software para co-simulação Mosaik 3.0

Abstract

In the last decades, Smart Grids has proposed perspectives that are revolutionizing the way society manages, represents and analyzes Electric Power Systems (EPS). Smart Grids propose the improvement of EPS through application of Information Technology (IT) concepts in its structure. Co-simulation systems are among the IT solutions that make it possible to improve the representation, simulation and analysis of Smart Grids. These systems are able to integrate different simulators by synchronizing them in the same runtime, enabling the connection and communication between these elements in a simple and modular way. Such simulators can be mathematical models, softwares that represent real devices in an electrical network or Multiagent Systems (MAS) that manage an electrical grid, for example. Mosaik is an open-source co-simulation system solution that was developed focused specifically on Smart Grids analysis. It provides several interesting tools for its grid representation. In 2021, a new version of Mosaik was released, containing several enhancements and tools that allows improved performance and solutions aimed at handling discrete events. For simulations already developed with the previous version of Mosaik, the update proposes a simple adaptation in its API without major changes in the system’s structure. Given the above, this work’s objective focuses on verifying the impact of adapting systems already developed in Mosaik for the new update. Furthermore, it aims to describe and explore the new capabilities proposed by the new version of Mosaik 3. The case study developed in this project is based on a Mosaik integration with the MAS PADE, developed by (MELO et al., 2020) at Grupo de Redes Elétricas (GREI) laboratory at Federal University of Ceará (UFC). In the methodology applied in this work, the PADE/Mosaik integration source code was adapted to the new version of Mosaik 3, seeking to confirm the Mosaik’s ease of adaptation proposed by the update. In this project, it was proved the simplicity of adapting the system of Mosaik’s previous versions to the new update, as proposed by the Mosaik 3.
