Abstract. In this work we present an adoption of systems engineering methodology for design and assessment of a Virtual Power System (VPS). The VPS has been defined as an aggregation of distributed energy resources, consumers and storages which can operate autonomously, and is presented to the power system as a single unit in technical and commercial terms. The complexity of these critical systems is tackled by means of systems engineering. We have applied our approach in scope of a research project AlpEnergy.Keywords: systems engineering, modeling, SysML, VPS; assessment. Introduction and BackgroundIn the present work based on achieved results in the course of the international AlpEnergy project we provide description of a methodology used for design, implementation and assessment of Virtual Power System (VPS). VPS integrates, manages and controls distributed energy generators, electrical vehicles (and other controllable loads) and storage capacities and links their technical operation to the demand of consumers and the energy market. Detailed VPS description providing basic definitions and explanation of the concept is presented in [12,14]. One of the main challenges of the project is considered to be tackling of multidisciplinary nature of VPS concept and developing of a model of the supporting ICT structures which are crucial to critical infrastructures. Moreover, an evaluation strategy for pilot implementations was supposed to be developed. To cope with the challenge we have adopted systems engineering methodology already proven as a very efficient instrument to tackle complexity of different heterogeneous systems and different technical backgrounds of stakeholders [8]. The methodology is based on instruments provided by SysML modeling language -widely accepted UML profile for modeling of complex heterogeneous systems. The methodology is presented in details in [1], [13] while similar approach is also applied in [3]. In this work we focus on assessment of different project implementations showing how proposed methodology can be used for that purpose.VPS concept supposes a flexible structure that embraces widest set of technical and commercial issues. Furthermore, VPS model has to absorb all the changes and adaptations in the system and its environment and for that reason has to be constantly

Model Driven Software Engineering of Power Systems Applications: Literature Review and Trends

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper presents a survey on Software Engineering techniques for the power systems area. Our goal is to identify tools and techniques that can improve the life cycle management of customized applications for Energy Management Systems (SCADA/EMS), by applying a Model Driven Engineering (MDE) approach. We conducted a systematic literature review of published works related to the design and development of such applications. Two main repositories of publications in the area were used as sources and four search strategies were applied. Several works found are not directed to SCADA/EMS, but are related to other power systems applications. We have collected evidence that such applications are more commonly modeled using concepts specific to the power systems' domain, like control theory, rather than traditional techniques and tools from the software industry, like UML. However, few details about the process of transforming those specifications into software artifacts could be gathered. On the other hand, a few published works mention the MDE approach for power systems related applications, although clear methodology or frameworks applicable to the production of fully functional software are still missing. We have also identified promising technologies that need to be evaluated in order to propose such a framework, like domain specific languages, transformation engines and integration interfaces. The appealing MDE concept of automatically transforming design and specification models into programs and other software artifacts has the potential to facilitate the porting and migration of EMS applications from one platform to others. Ultimately, such an approach may help improving software quality and cutting development costs. INDEX TERMS Model driven engineering, SCADA/EMS, software engineering, power systems.
