🌍 DERMS – Dispatcher System Simulation for Monitoring Distributed Energy Resource Production

📌 General Information

Project Name: Dispatcher System Simulation for Monitoring Distributed Energy Resource Production (DERMS) Goal: Development of a simulation system that models a Smart Grid environment in which distributed generators (solar, wind) produce electrical energy and communicate with a central dispatcher server.

📝 Summary

The system simulates the operation of prosumers (producer-consumers) and includes:

• Sensors – generate weather condition data (solar irradiance, wind speed).
• DER generators (clients) – calculate energy production based on received data.
• Dispatcher server – centrally collects and processes production data, sends control messages, responds to unexpected values, and manages DER operations.

⚙️ Technical Description

• Communication

  • TCP – between sensors and DERs (transmitting weather conditions), between DERs and the dispatcher (sending calculated production).
  • UDP – between the dispatcher and DERs (on/off control messages).

• Weather Condition Simulation

  • Solar panel: generates solar irradiance (INS) and cell temperature (Tcell).
  • Wind turbine: generates random wind speed (0–30 m/s).

• Security

  • basic encryption of dispatcher commands
