Summary: This work supports the simulations and analysis efforts to determine the impact of communications systems on the operations of resiliency based microgrids. This will build on the work of GMLC project 1.4.15 to examine how communications systems with mixed media (e.g. fiber optics and wireless in the same network), and systems with mixed traffic (e.g. control systems operating on the same network as AMI) impact resiliency based controls. The work supports multiple project efforts, including the Microgrid R&D program and the Duke Resilient Distribution System (RDS) project.
