Abstract
This thesis has mainly focused on investigating the effect of communication network on the power system operation. The main objective of this research has been to develop a set of communication network simulation tools and verify their suitability for realistic cosimulation
of a power system and an associated data-communication network within a
power system simulation environment. Based on a background study, a set of communication
components have been developed for the PSCAD/EMTDC power system simulation
software, which can simulate communication delay and packet losses. Furthermore, an analytical method based on queuing theory has also been developed to evaluate the communication delay and packet loss probability of a typical PMU-PDC communication network.
Finally, the communication components developed in this thesis have been integrated into the simulation of a wide area power system application to investigate the effect of communication network parameters on the power system operation.
