Abstract
A distributed control system based on numerous models of small-scale subsystems within power delivery and/or distribution systems may increase the performance of solvers, automation algorithms, and control systems. By implementing multiple discrete control system models and effectuating simple communications (e.g., requests and responses for additional electric power) between the multiple discrete control system models, the processing power and time associated with modeling the power system and responding to events occurring within the power system may be reduced, and greater flexibility and modularity may be provided to the power delivery and distribution systems.
