    This document describes a low-cost simulation environment for testing smart grid scenarios using hardware-in-the-loop simulations. The environment uses Raspberry Pis, Docker, and Arduinos connected via TCP/IP to simulate smart grid components like photovoltaic panels and LED lighting. Students can set up these simulation nodes to model scenarios like varying sunlight levels and meeting power grid demand under different renewable energy conditions. The goal is to provide an affordable way for students to learn about and prototype smart grid technologies and co-simulations.

    Smart Grids Co-Simulations

    Lab of Software
    with Low-Cost Hardware
    Architectures and
    Information Systems Martin Schvarcbacher and Bruno Rossi
    FI MU

    Project Context
    We showcase a low-cost environment that students can use to test and validate different Smart Grids scenarios. Such environment can be a first step for looking
    into hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and co-simulation environments - environments that are focused on orchestrating several simulations running on different
    devices, combining also software simulations. This solution can be used for understanding simulations and HIL in an affordable and effective way in an easy to
    deploy environment [1].

    Goals Smart Grids & Lasaris


    ★ Education of students in co-simulation concepts using easily accessible ★ The Smart Grid can be regarded as an electricity network that benefits
    and hands-on training in Smart Grids technologies both from two-way cyber-secure communication technologies and
    ★ Creating ways for cheaper hardware prototyping of Smart Grids by computational intelligence for electricity generation, transmission,
    having low-cost simulation nodes substations integration and consumption to reach the goals of a safe,
    secure, reliable, resilient, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure [4].

    Simulation Node
    Scenarios
    a) Sunlight Levels for a Location
    ★ Uses past weather data to estimate sunlight levels
    ★ Allows evaluating different PV panel deployments
    ★ Each node represents a PV power station in the grid

    b) Power Grid Load


    ★ Knowing whether the power grid can meet the current or near future
    requirements becomes necessary as more intermittently available
    renewable resources are added to the power grid [2]
    ★ The amount of power produced is compared to expected grid load to
    determine power deficiencies when using only renewable resources
    ★ Used to determine when power plants need to be switched on to
    supplement renewable energy sources
    ★ Predicting the required production capacity can be beneficial for the
    Smart Grid stability
    Hardware Node Components
    ★ Photo-voltaic (PV) panel:
    ⮚ Produces power proportional to the illumination levels
    Project Results ★ LED array:
    ★ We created a platform for Smart Grid deployment prototyping ⮚ Generates multiple illumination levels
    ★ Students can easily setup their own Smart Grid environments and test ★ Arduino Mega:
    them under various changing conditions
    ⮚ Controls the LED array and reads the voltage level from a PV panel
    ★ Test cases include: Smart Grid deployment, interoperability, stability
    ⮚ Sends measured data and receives control commands
    ★ Our goal is a full power grid simulation using only commodity hardware
    ★ Raspberry Pi:
    ⮚ Data collection and network communications
