Demo | Using Raspberry PIs in a C-HIL Simulation of a Distributed Microgrid Control System | OPAL-RT Learning Journey

In this demonstration, we are using a bunch of Raspberry PIs that can communicate among each other and with the real-time simulator using IEC61850 GOOSE messaging. The Raspberry PIs run a distributed control system to control a microgrid model in real-time. The microgrid model is simulated using Simulink on our flagship software RT-LAB. This presentation was prepared as part of a research project with McGill University. We are demonstrating this video as a success story that shows how simple and accessible hardware such as the Raspberry PI can be used with our real-time simulator to develop and test state-of-the-art engineering research.
