Concepts and models for design and simulation of distributed control systems for future power grid

This paper presents our vision on developing a software tool for modeling and simulating the intelligent behavior of the future power grid. Modeling approaches based on function blocks and holonic concepts are proposed for the intelligent control entities, designed to interact with each other to optimize the operation of the grid in relation to the distribution of power, integration of equipment and failure recovery. IEC 61850 specifications are selected as reference model for communications.
