DLL Model Interfaces (DLL)

Requirements and Use Cases

When creating and maintaining user-defined models of equipment, control devices or simulation controls in the model builder (GMB module), the integration of program parts and blocks developed as DLLs as subsystems is also useful in order to address the following requirements:

• Functional extension of models with complex data types and structures as well as functions that are not natively available in GMB
• Development, use and distribution of user-defined function blocks in C, C++ or other programming languages
• Coupling of internal input or output signals of the controllers with other applications running in parallel (if necessary, synchronously)
• Protection of intellectual property in the form of subsystem design or implementation
• Standardized interface for the use of subsystems in different software environments
• Development and testing of control functions in a “Software in the Loop (SiL)” environment

Solution

The two interfaces of the DLL model interface (DLL) module, as part of the PSS®NETOMAC dynamics engine, extend the simulation of models created with the graphical model builder (GMB) by integrating user-defined subsystems as a dynamic link library (DLL).

• Integration of external, already compiled DLLs as model subsystems in models created with the GMB
• IEC DLL interface, standardized to IEC 61400-27-1 F
• EXTERN DLL interface of the PSS®SINCAL Platform with simplified definition
• Use of the interface in the LF, LP, ST, EMT calculation methods

PSS®SINCAL – simulation software for analysis and planning of electric and pipe networks is used in over 90 countries by by transmission and distribution planning engineers, protection engineers, consultants, power plant and industrial network operators, operations planning engineers, IT professionals, researchers, and more.

Applications

Independently or simultaneously analyze the impacts of low, medium, and high-voltage networks

Through its modular design, PSS®SINCAL is highly flexible and customizable. It offers a wide variety of analysis functions for the planning, design and operation of power systems, allowing you to simulate and study: power quality, frequency stability, distributed generation interconnection, protection coordination, restoration of supply, economic driven design decisions, and more.
