FMU integration methodology and validation studies for Marine Hydrokinetic (MHK) device co-simulation.
Comprehensive documentation on the FMU integration methodology:
- Complete workflow from Simulink model to PowerFactory co-simulation
- PowerFactory template using AC Current Source proxy
- Best practices and troubleshooting
- Interface configuration and setup instructions
Validation studies testing and verifying the FMU integration method:
- Cross-platform model comparison (Simulink, PowerFactory, PowerDynamics.jl)
- Deliverables 5.2.1 & 5.3.1 technical reports
- Simulation data and analysis tools
- Verification of power flow, voltage, and current characteristics
The FMU (Functional Mock-up Unit) method enables co-simulation between detailed MHK device models developed in MATLAB/Simulink and power system analysis software like DIgSILENT PowerFactory. This standardized approach ensures:
- ✅ Consistent model behavior across platforms
- ✅ Validated co-simulation methodology
- ✅ Reliable grid integration studies
- ✅ Verified control system performance
- Learn the Method: Start with FMU Method for complete integration instructions
- Review Validation: See Preliminary Results for verification studies
- Apply to Models: Use the methodology with Marine Models
- Run Examples: Try the Synthetic Grid Example for hands-on experience
The validation studies demonstrate:
- Model consistency across different simulation platforms
- Accurate representation of grid-connected MHK device dynamics
- Reliable fault ride-through behavior
- Validated power quality characteristics
- MATLAB/Simulink with Simulink Coder
- DIgSILENT PowerFactory 2020+
- Python 3.x (for analysis tools)
- FMI-compatible simulation environment
