Automation and Operation of Electric Power Systems

Work description

Literature review on real-time simulation, human–machine interfaces (HMI), and industrial-grade communication protocols for automation in electric power systems. Implementation of the interface between OPAL-RT and HMI/SCADA software: connecting the real-time model or digital twin with the SCADA and HMI software platforms. Validation of the developed interfaces, using as a use case one of the potential services to be offered to industrial clients by the x-Energy Lab / collaborative laboratory currently being developed within the ATE project. Preparation of the research grant activity report.
