During the last years the increasing installation of distributed energy resources, electric vehicles bus also energy storage systems has lead to new challenges in terms of power system planning and operation. New intelligent approaches turning power distribution grids into Smart Grids are necessary. For their realization standardized automation, control and communication systems are essential. Moreover, an integrated engineering approach for the development of Smart Grid applications using these standards is equally required. Model-driven engineering methods well known from computer science together with implementation methods from automation domain have the potential to provide the basis for such a required integrated engineering concept. The main aim of this paper therefore is to facilitate the integration of legacy Smart Grid applications into a model-driven engineering approach. It introduces transformation rules for the conversion of applications implemented with textual programming languages into the IEC 61499 reference model. A brief overview of existing model-driven approaches applied in industrial environments is provided and their applicability for Smart Grid application development is discussed. The special requirements of the Smart Grid domain is taken into account by the proposed transformation approach and provided examples.

“…With their model driven approach, they convert an example system manually using the concepts and rules described. The same authors [8] use FBDs in IEC 61131-3 (written using structured text (ST) code) to generate function block definition in IEC 61499 manually. This paper also details about language migration by considering various examples and cases prevalent in the industry.…”

Function block diagrams (FBD) are widely used for implementation of programmable logic control (PLC) in safety critical domains and in the conventional factory automation. With the growing software intensity of such systems, the size and complexity of the PLC FBD applications is growing. The implicit execution order of PLC FBD can be ambiguous for developers, causing misinterpretation of the control programs behaviour. This work aims at reducing this ambiguity, investigating reimplementation of FBDs in a new programming language of IEC 61499, which has explicit mechanism for defining the execution order. A method is proposed for generation of IEC 61499 FBDs from the PLC FBDs. We also present a tool that implements our approach and which is complemented with an automated tester to prove the equivalence in the behaviour of the source and generated systems.

“…Both papers also give some general guidelines to simplify future migration processes. Similarly, Wenger et al present in [16] and [25] some transformation rules to manually migrate a system. Even, though recommendations, guidelines and transformation rules can facilitate the migration process, a re-engineering process is still required, so automated approaches have been studied.…”
