First Steps with Wattson

Make sure that you followed the Setup Guide.

Wattson allows you to co-simulate a power grid as a cyber-physical system, i.e., it emulates the communication network with realistic network traffic while simulating the corresponding power grid (or another physical process).

On a high level, Wattson combines a network emulation with a physical simulation. For now, only power grids are natively supported for physical simulation. The information on how the power grid should look like, how the corresponding network is formed and what information couples both domains, e.g., how communication payload corresponds to power grid measurements, are combined by a scenario.

Wattson comes with an example scenario and can be used with any scenario generated by PowerOwl as well as handcrafted ones.
