“…Examples of such aspects are: grid model (load flow), phasor measurements, automation and distributed control logic, communication between applications and/or power system's equipment and the behavior of energy management functions. The purposes of such models include application development (references [48]- [50]) and co-simulation of more than one aspect of the power system (references [45]- [47]).…”

This paper presents a survey on Software Engineering techniques for the power systems area. Our goal is to identify tools and techniques that can improve the life cycle management of customized applications for Energy Management Systems (SCADA/EMS), by applying a Model Driven Engineering (MDE) approach. We conducted a systematic literature review of published works related to the design and development of such applications. Two main repositories of publications in the area were used as sources and four search strategies were applied. Several works found are not directed to SCADA/EMS, but are related to other power systems applications. We have collected evidence that such applications are more commonly modeled using concepts specific to the power systems' domain, like control theory, rather than traditional techniques and tools from the software industry, like UML. However, few details about the process of transforming those specifications into software artifacts could be gathered. On the other hand, a few published works mention the MDE approach for power systems related applications, although clear methodology or frameworks applicable to the production of fully functional software are still missing. We have also identified promising technologies that need to be evaluated in order to propose such a framework, like domain specific languages, transformation engines and integration interfaces. The appealing MDE concept of automatically transforming design and specification models into programs and other software artifacts has the potential to facilitate the porting and migration of EMS applications from one platform to others. Ultimately, such an approach may help improving software quality and cutting development costs. INDEX TERMS Model driven engineering, SCADA/EMS, software engineering, power systems.

“…The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology to formally model substation automation system (SAS) requirements from natural language, which can be supplemented to the SAS engineering process introduced in the IEC 61850 standard. An ontology model is proposed to formally model SAS system requirements with the advantage of minimizing ambiguities in the natural language representation of system requirements and in addition, is machine interoperable and can be integrated in MDE driven design approaches such as [18]. The proposed approach is demonstrated in a distribution system with system requirements defined in natural language.…”

This paper proposes a novel method of modelling requirements for smart grid automation systems that fits and complements the leading standards used for software development in smart grid: IEC 61850 and IEC 61499. Ontological representation is used to formally model the systems requirements and the integration of the requirement modelling to be used in conjunction with IEC 61850 specifications and IEC 61499 implementation. The proposed model is illustrated on a case study presented by the CIGRE working group where the system requirement in natural language was firstly modelled in ontology, then implemented in IEC 61499. Lastly, the resulting IEC 61499 control system was tested and validated against the system requirement by signal testing of the end control system.

“…The physical wiring of CT secondary analogue signals to the microprocessor‐based relay in conventional substations is replaced by merging units (MUs), ethernet‐based process bus (IEC‐61850‐9‐2) and intelligent electronics devices (IEDs) [25]. The analogue current signals of CT secondary outputs are hardwired to the individual bay MUs.…”
