About the webinar

In this webinar with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), we showcase a multi-layer mitigation use case that demonstrates how cyber-physical co-simulation enhances the development of resilient grid control strategies.

Starting from a GridLAB-D power system model, the workflow transitions into HYPERSIM for real-time simulation, combined with ns-3 and EXata CPS to model communication networks and cyber events. This integrated environment enables the study of resilient response from all hazard (cyber and physical) threats at the fidelity needed for controlling IBR.

The session will cover model attributes, the GridLAB-D to HYPERSIM conversion process, automated communication network generation, and key insights from using co-simulation to strengthen grid resilience.
