Abstract

Model driven engineering (MDE) has seen a rising interest by the power industry particularly for supporting application and standards developments. Modern power systems often still involve many manual, error-prone configuration works. Examples include specification developments and configuration of communicating controllers. Recently, new concepts such as virtualized controllers (deployed in virtual machines or containers) have emerged. However, such a concept still remains rather new for power system experts where integrating virtualized controllers into their existing engineered information systems is a non straight-forward task. This study thus proposes to tackle some of the engineering and integration problems faced by this new concept thanks to the benefits offered by MDE. Virtual61850 is an implementation of a model-driven tool for supporting the configuration of future virtualized controllers into the power industry’s information systems. It supports basic industry requirements including platform independence, standardized legacy configuration languages (IEC 61850 standard), modularity, and integrated testing and validation. The application was benchmarked for scalable models creation, editing, and validations that are necessary for advanced industrial simulation and field deployments of virtualized controllers.
