Digital framework architecture for the development of a virtual wind farm with economic connectivity
DiRaWi-2
In the DLR project DiRaWi-2, the project partners from a total of nine institutes are developing a digital framework architecture that makes it possible to create a virtual image of the real DLR Wind Energy Research Park (WiValdi).
To this end, the scientists are linking the simulation tools of the participating partners in one or more chains. The basis for linking the different tools is the RCE (Remote Component Environment) programm developed at DLR, which allows flexible and modular linking of the tools on different computers and operating systems. The standardisation of data exchange between the different simulation tools is based on the Common Parametric Aircraft Configuration Schema, or CPACS for short, which is already used in aviation. For this purpose, an XSD schema with all the parameters required for a wind farm is defined and created.
The tool chains are demonstrated and verified by simulating two use cases: Power forecasting and a fault scenario. To do this, the project participants first define the required input and target variables and boundary conditions and then compare these with experimental data from WiValdi after the simulation has been completed.
