On using FMI-based models in IEC 61499 control applications

Abstract

Comprehensive models of cyber-physical energy systems often require the integration of automation infrastructure and energy system models. While energy system models mostly focus on the physics of these systems, automation infrastructure targets control aspects of the modelled systems. Currently, both parts are coupled via tool-dependent interfaces and in most cases the deployed couplings do not consider timing aspects. This article describes the usage of an established interface for model exchange to include models in a standardized automation infrastructure. It discusses a novel projection-based approach and its real-time capabilities, describes its implementation and presents first test results.
