The new co-simulation tool will bring together GridDyn and CYME – a power distribution system simulation software that Eaton owns – using the framework of ParGrid and HELICS (Hierarchical Engine for Large-scale Infrastructure Co-Simulation). There's a lot more to do but the vision is once it's completed it will be really useful for stakeholders and utilities who have wanted this capability for a long time." "We have the expertise and the high-performance computing to do it, and the benefit is to help utilities make the grid more reliable and safe and enable the integration of more and more clean energy, which everybody wants. "This is the first effort to commercialize a co-simulation tool and make it available to industry," said principal investigator Vaibhav Donde.

The Department of Energy's Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) is backing the project, with a goal of taking the software to market for the power industry to use. But as distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar panels increasingly proliferate and are integrated into the greater grid, coupling the transmission and distribution grids together into computer models has become essential to predicting grid reliability and safety.ĭeveloping such a co-simulation requires immense computational resources, so Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have kicked off a two-year project with private power management company Eaton Corporation to develop and commercialize a tool capable of performing coupled simulations of transmission and distribution grids.

Traditionally, according to researchers, the grid industry has modeled transmission and distribution grids separately for planning and analysis-electricity historically has flowed in one direction, from transmission lines to the consumers.
