An Approach to Modeling and Simulating Dynamic Interactions and Interdependencies Between the Electric Power Grid and Natural Gas System

Abstract

This report will describe the use of real-time simulation technologies to develop a training architecture that could help address technical gaps in operation and coordination of regional inter-dependent critical infrastructures during large-scale incidents or black sky events severely affecting the existing energy posture. The development leverages the real-time power system Hardware-in-the-Loop Laboratory Testbed and Open Platform (HILLTOP) to prototype a notional system reflecting the interactions between the electrical and natural gas systems. The main contributions of this work are the technical approach, modeling technique, and component models to assemble realistic simulations of coupled natural gas and electric power systems that could support joint operator training and decision making in response to contingencies in either infrastructure.
