Abstract: The aging electric infrastructure power system infrastructure is undergoing a transformative change mainly triggered by the large-scale integration of distributed resources such as distributed generation, hybrid loads, and home energy management systems at the end-use level.The future electric grid, also referred to as the Smart Grid, will make use of these distributed resources to intelligently manage the day to day power system operations with minimum human intervention.The proliferation of these advanced Smart Grid resources may lead to coordination problems to maintain the generation-demand balance at all times.To ensure their safe integration with the grid, extensive simulation studies need to be performed using distributed resources.Simulation studies serve as an economically viable alternative to avoid expensive failures.They also serve as an invaluable platform to study energy consumption behavior, demand response, power system stability, and power system state estimation.Traditionally, power system analysis has been performed in isolated domains using simulation tools for the transmission and distribution systems.Moreover, modeling all the power system assets using a single power system tool is difficult and inconclusive.From the Smart Grid perspective, a common simulation platform for different power systems analysis tools is essential.A co-simulation framework enables the interaction of multiple power system tools, each modeling a single domain in detail, to run simultaneously and provide a holistic power system overview.
