Abstract
BIFROST is a persistent, shared design tool and simulation environment for Smart Cities, with a strong focus on powergrid infrastructure. Backed by a reactive server backend and powerful simulation engine, a browser-based, 2.5D user interface empowers researchers, network operators and planning experts to construct and analyze situations revolving around powergrid operations. The internal engine state representing the simulation world, including all physical dynamics and structures, is fully exposed to external applications, such as control algorithms or time series analysis tools. Thus, BIFROST can be employed as a virtual testbed for Smart Energy System installations, allowing for the evaluation of scenarios which would be hard or impossible to stage in-field.
