“…This FB encapsulates all actions required for delivering sensor data and handling actuator data. With it we achieve a separation of application parts into hardware independent and hardware dependent parts [13]. As already stated the correct and optimal event handling of the plant enables an accurate calculation of the closed loop control system.…”

The integration of closed loop control algorithms into industrial control systems represents an important topic in the automation domain. Timing constraints have to be taken into account, often leading to a compromise between real-time capabilities of the control and accuracy of the calculated values. Due to its event-based execution model, IEC 61499 bears advantages concerning the closed loop control application implementation. This provides flexibility and allows the implementation of various and more sophisticated feedback algorithms. The work described in this paper is concerned with these different implementation aspects. A detailed analysis is presented concerning their timing characteristics and solutions are proposed for the actual realization of these design variants by applying IEC 61499 function blocks.

“…Summarizing, the major advantages of applying MDA concepts also to the domain of industrial automation as well as to the development of Smart Grid applications is (i) the simplification of the software design process and thus increasing the software development productivity, (ii) the reduction of programming errors, and (iii) the focusing on the design and development work of the application itself and not on software coding problems [27]. Using MDA in the development process of automation applications mainly enhances the reusability of application code [28].…”

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.

“…It is considered as a promising successor of IEC 61131. Benefits of IEC 61499 for reusability of DCS applications are explained in [7]. Since only a few PLC vendors offer IEC 61499 controllers, the approach presented in [15] introducing the Agent Development Environment (ADE) supports the IEC 61131-3 standard of PLC programming languages for LLC implementation.…”

Multi-agent and holonic systems have been successfully investigated for several decades; nevertheless, their real industrial applications are still rare. This paper contributes to their utilization in practice. It discusses possibilities for integration and deployment of such systems into standard or legacy automation systems, which are distributed and should satisfy common global goals. These requirements are widespread for example in the area of virtual power plants. The proposed architecture addresses a SCADA level of the automation pyramid. The results are demonstrated on a use-case dealing with a set of distributed combined heat and power units, which should be integrated into a single virtual power plant. This virtual energy source has to satisfy common goals of the whole community, which are managed centrally, and local goals in terms of heat required by users.
