Abstract

The scope of the ENTSO-E Standardized Control Interface (ESCI) includes Software-In-The-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-In-The-Loop (HIL) capability. ESCI is still a new proposition, validation in applications is relevant. For such a validation the utilization of computer models and test benches with known behaviour in a scope matching the target area of ESCI is relevant. The DemAnDS project utilizes two existing complementary test benches for research purposes. The test benches represent High-Voltage DC (HVDC) transmission lines including several converter stations utilizing modular multilevel converters (MMC). The test benches are equipped with and then controlled via ESCI as sole interface. The paper introduces the test benches and their key properties, the implementation of ESCI, which is adapted to the needs and possibilities of each test bench and describes first results.
