Ready-made models

Question

Hello All,

My main goal is to develop and test an Energy Management System for an energy community.

I would like to know if there are ready-made simple models e.g., for a residential consumer/prosumer, an EV, etc., that I can use for creating an energy community, according to the specifications that I was given. I want to avoid developing these models from scratch since my main goal is to develop an EMS and not the models for each of the energy community participants (residential consumer, PV, small wind generator, EV, etc.).

Would be grateful to receive some relevant feedback.

Greetings Ioannis,

For the purposes of validating and testing Energy Management Systems, we have created the Typhoon HIL Microgrid library - a set of components that users can very easily parametrize and integrate into a larger model. Within these components, users can find components tailored to their needs in terms of functionality and complexity.

To learn more how to use these components, I recommend that you take a look at some of our example models:

• Plug-and-play microgrid library and testing of microgrid controller

• Terrestrial microgrid example using generic components (examples\models\microgrid\microgrid example\terrestrial microgrid (generic)\terrestrial microgrid gen.tse generic components)

Hope this helps!

Comments

Additionally, for the mentioned example of terrestrial microgrid using generic components, there is a pre-existing microgrid controller block in the example. You can modify the controller logic by simply creating your own EMS and removing the existing controller block.

Keep in mind, if you open the example model and make any changes, always save it as a new schematic file(.tse).
