Desenvolvimento de uma plataforma de emulação do tipo digital shadow para um sistema fotovoltaico

Abstract

The new era of technology experienced in recent years has opened doors to numerous innovations, among them there’s a very recent one that has been gaining a lot of visibility, the so-called Digital Twins. These Digital Twins have gained prominence mainly in the industrial sector, however in the electrical sector it is possible to obtain numerous benefits from their application, since their usage can promote advantages such as monitoring and control of the operation in real time, improvement in fault detection and even run tests on the virtual system before actually applying it to the physical system. There are also two other offshoots of this concept that are simpler, known as the digital model and the digital shadow. This work aimed to develop the study and apply the theories related to this theme to develop a digital shadow of a photovoltaic system emulator developed by Texas Instruments, where the implementation of a digital model was carried out through Simulink software, as well as the real-time connection of this model with the physical system, using the dSPACE MicroLab DS1202 platform. Finally, the results of the digital shadow design were presented, performing a detailed analysis on them, in addition to providing suggestions for future work related to this study.
