Abstract
European regulations on information exchange have put new requirements on analysis tools, the main one being the adoption of the International Electrotechnical Commission common information model (CIM) that may help interoperability across applications. This paper proposes the use of model-driven software engineering methods to meet these new requirements. Specifically, this paper shows how to apply model-to-model (M2M) transformations. The M2M method presented herein allows us to work directly with the information and mathematical description and computer implementation of dynamic models, independent from specific analysis tools. The M2M method proposed requires the development of a mapping between CIM/unified modeling language and the Modelica language, which allows us to derive Modelica models of physical power systems for dynamic simulations.
Highlights
model-driven software engineering (MDSE) is a subset of model-driven development (MDD) that consists of a development paradigm based on models, which relies on the use of object management group (OMG) standards
The complete process of binding the common information model (CIM) syntax and Modelica syntax presented in this paper gives a mechanism to use mathematical modeling language as a complement for the CIM dynamics information exchange profile, and its Common Grid Model Exchange Standard (CGMES) extension
The use of Modelica for the modeling of power systems dynamic behavior allows us to comply with the application of EU rules for security, IOP, and transparency established by European regulations [8]
Summary
E FFICIENT information exchange between transmission system operators (TSO), distribution systems operators (DSO), and generation companies is required for network planning and power systems operations, e.g., real-time monitoring and steady-state analysis. These functions demand a high degree of coordination and consistency in data exchanges, which can be significantly streamlined through a common data exchange standard. The European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) has adopted regulation EC 714/2009 for cross-border exchanges in the electricity network to ensure coordination of “data exchange and settlement rules, network security and reliability rules, interoperability (IOP) rules, and transparency rules” [1] To comply with these rules, software tools are one of the primary means to perform analysis and coordination tasks. IOP can only be unassailable though the comparison of several implementation results
