Summary: WSU will build on the existing interfaces between transmission, distribution and communications. The steady state interface requires the interchange of data between the transmission and distribution power flow solutions in an iterative way to align the boundary bus voltages while taking into account the positive sequence model of the transmission interfacing with a three-phase model of the distribution. For the dynamic cosimulation, adding the interface with the communications system to that of transmission and distribution becomes important because many of the controls require the time behavior of communications to be taken into account. Moreover, the communications systems are not necessarily similar as the transmission and distribution SCADA systems are designed quite differently, and so does the data transfer of PMUs and AMI.
