Claim 6:
7. A controller for power system equipment and/or distributed energy resources in an electrical power system, comprising:
a digital twin simulation module; and
an optimization module;
wherein the digital twin simulation module receives one or more inputs from one or more sensors in the electrical power system to update the digital twin simulation module while simulating the electrical power system, and
wherein a state estimation module receives one or more real-time pseudo-measurements, selected from the group consisting of an active power, a reactive power, a voltage, a current, a frequency, a power factor, and phasor data, from the digital twin simulation module to calculate operational conditions of the electrical power system; and
wherein the optimization module receives one or more inputs from the state estimation module representing current operational conditions of the electrical power system, and
wherein the optimization module provides one or more control commands to one or more of the power system equipment or one or more of the distributed energy resources in the electrical power system, the one or more control commands comprising control setpoints that are provided to the one or more of the power system equipment or the one or more of the distributed energy resources in real-time, the control setpoints simulated in the digital twin simulation module; and
wherein the digital twin simulation model comprises power system equipment and further comprises controller simulations that run in real-time with the provision of the one or more control commands.
