Model

A model of a PGP controller is provided in order to validate the standard-compliant control of power generating plants in accordance with the applicable requirements (e.g. from VDE-AR-N 4110, VDE-AR-N 4120 or EN 50549).

A Functional Mock-up Unit (FMU) according to the FMI standard in version 2 is available for this purpose. This FMU contains the controller kernel of the TwinCAT Power Plant Control and faithfully reproduces its functional behavior. All functions, interfaces and parameters correspond completely to the TwinCAT module TcPowerPlantControl and are therefore not described again in this chapter.

The use of the FMI standard enables flexible integration of the model into all FMI-compatible simulation environments. These include MATLAB^®/Simulink^® (MathWorks) and PowerFactory (DIgSILENT). The exemplary integration into these tools is explained in the following sections.
