Abstract

Renewables are key enablers for the realization of a sustainable energy supply but grid operators and energy utilities have to mange their intermittent behavior and limited storage capabilities by ensuring the security of supply and power quality. Advanced control approaches, automation concepts, and communication technologies have the potential to address these challenges by providing new intelligent solutions and products. However, the validation of certain aspects of such smart grid systems, especially advanced control and automation concepts is still a challenge. The main aim of this work therefore is to introduce a hardware-in-the-loop co-simulation-based validation framework which allows the simulation of large-scale power networks and control solutions together with real-world components. The application of this concept to a selected voltage control example shows its applicability.
