MicroGrid

Small library made as final project for the course Modeling and Simulation of Cyber-Physical Systems. It contains models for batteries, photovoltaics modules, converters and control systems.

How to simulate it?

• Download the library MicroGrid.
• Go to folder MicroGrid and load the model package.mo. This act will load all the models into the Working tab in the Modelica-compliant software used.
• The main package, MicroGrid, consists of six subpackages, named: (1) Examples, (2) Electrical, (3) Storage, (4) PhotoVoltaics, (5) Control and (6) Sensors. The microgrid example is within (1) Examples, named MicroGrid_Example.mo. Other examples are available in Electrical/Examples and in Control/Examples.
• The model Examples/MicroGrid_Example.mo can be simulated in different manners, depending on the Modelica-compliant software being used. For OpenModelica and Dymola, the user should move to Simulation tab and by clicking the Simulate button. For SystemModeler, the Simulate button is located in the Modeling tab.
