This code base contains Mathworks Simulink Opal-RT models used to simulate power systems in a small test microgrid. The test system used several actual controllers from hardware vendors in a hardware-in-the-loop setup.
The 2015 MITLL Technical Report is available here: https://www.ll.mit.edu/mission/engineering/Publications/TR-1203.pdf
Folder structure is as follows:
01 Documents Contains the presentation, technical report, user’s guide and pointers to Woodward related documentation. Review these files first:
• 01 Technical Report (1203)
• 02 Microgrid Controller HIL Demonstration Platform Presentation
• 03 User's Guide - HIL Platform
02 Generator System Contains documentation and test for the modeling of the Woodward and genset controllers
03 Interface Box Design This folder contains all drawings and documentation (or pointer to external sources) required to replicate the interface box between the Woodward controllers and the Opal-RT simulator
04 Top Level Model Folder containing the simulated case during the symposium:
• Model libraries
• System connectivity and parameters
• Modbus configuration files
• Test stimuli (load profiles, irradiance profiles, etc)
This package was tested using the following tools:
• Matlab/Simulink 2011b (32bit)
• Simulink 2011b - SimPowerSystems
• Simulink 2011b – Simscape
• RT-LAB (Opal-RT)
o ARTEMIS solver
• Simulink 2011b – Coder
• Woodward toolkit
o EasyGen 3500
The two genetator models were tested using the following tools (path: HIL2015_Symposium_Package\02 Generator System):
• Matlab/Simulink 2011b (32bit)
• Simulink 2011b - SimPowerSystems
• Simulink 2011b – Simscape
