Implementation of FREEDM Smart Grid distributed load balancing using IEC 61499 function blocks

This paper presents implementation of one of the Distributed Grid Intelligence (DGI) applications: Load Balancing, using the IEC61499 architecture. This enables system level design of distributed load balancing application with a direct pathway to deployment to hardware. The use of IEC 61499 improves scalability, re-configurability and maintainability of automation software. The application was deployed to commercial programmable automation devices and embedded controller (ARM based TS-7800). The application was verified using co-simulation approach: control and power system simulated using Matlab on PC networked with the number of distributed hardware running load balance algorithm. The use of IEC 61499 facilitates deployment of hardware independent function block model to the variety of compliant hardware.
