Claim 11:
12. A method for controlling one or more power system devices and/or distributed energy resources in an electrical power grid, comprising:
simulating the electrical power grid in real-time in a digital twin simulation module, wherein the digital twin simulation module comprises power system equipment and further comprises controller simulations;
providing one or more inputs to the digital twin simulation module from one or more sensors in the electrical power grid;
providing one or more real-time pseudo-measurements to a state estimator from the digital twin simulation module, the one or more real-time pseudo-measurements from the digital twin simulation module selected from the group consisting of an active power, a reactive power, a voltage, a current, a frequency, a power factor, and phasor data; and
determining a state estimation solution at the state estimator that is provided to an optimization module that determines one or more control commands that are provided to one or more power system equipment and controllers of the electrical power grid, the one or more control commands comprising control setpoints provided in real-time with the digital twin simulation module simulation, the control setpoints simulated in the digital twin simulation module.
