Automation and Operation of Electric Power Systems
Work description
• Literature review on real-time simulation, SCADA systems, human–machine interfaces (HMI), and industrial-grade communication protocols for automation in electric power systems. • Develop and adapt a test network — a simulation model or replica of a real network — for DIgSILENT PowerFactory. • Develop and implement the interface between the test network (simulation model or real-network replica) in DIgSILENT PowerFactory and the SCADA software for real-time measurement acquisition. • Validation of the developed models and 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.

Educational background in Electrical Power Systems and/or Automation.
Preference factors
• Experience with computational simulation models, such as MATLAB/Simulink and DIgSILENT PowerFactory • Knowledge of industrial-grade communication protocols (Modbus TCP, IEC 61850, etc.).
