systems with PSS/E for the electrical transmission network. The cosimulator
applies an event-driven synchronization method that minimizes errors
due to delays in the synchronization between both simulators. The synchronization
method pauses the simulation of the power system at each communication
event, while a supervisory module in PSS/E returns control to the event simulator
if any condition from a pre-specified set is met. The proposed co-simulator
is demonstrated on a protection system based on peer-to-peer communication
and used to evaluate the effect of communication latency times on an online
state estimator.[+][-]
