The Development of a MATLAB/Simulink-SCADA/EMS-Integrated Framework for Microgrid Pre-Validation

Abstract

To validate microgrid systems, precise simulations are necessary beforehand. Traditional Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation (HILS) is used to validate systems by creating a digital twin environment that integrates software and hardware to mimic reality. However, HILS requires high investment costs for hardware, posing a significant hurdle for companies. To address this issue, this study proposes a Software-in-the-Loop Simulation (SILS) framework using SCADA/EMS and MATLAB/Simulink(R2024a). The proposed SILS framework is highly compatible with Energy Management Systems (EMSs) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), allowing near real-time data exchange and scenario-based analysis without relying on physical hardware. According to the simulation results, SILS effectively replicates the dynamic behavior of microgrid components such as solar power generation systems, energy storage systems (ESSs), and diesel generators. Solution providers can quickly conduct feasibility tests through systems that simulate actual power systems. They can test the operation of SCADA/EMS at a lower cost and reduce on-site time, thereby reducing business costs and preemptively addressing potential issues in the field. This paper demonstrates how SILS can contribute to establishing optimal operation strategies and power supply stability through case studies, including daily operation optimization and autonomous operation scenarios for microgrids. This research provides a foundation for the feasibility of microgrid solution construction by enabling software performance evaluations and the verification of economic expected returns in the early stages of a project.
