text: Towards renewable energy systems, the coupling of multiple sectors is important
and incorporates novel technologies where currently no models exist that correctly
represent all transient effects. Therefore, we present a method that incorporates
Hardware-in-the-Loop simulations where virtual components as models are coupled
to real and experimental facilities in real time. By including experimental components,
a higher validity can be obtained and the practical applicability of renewable
energy scenario can be discussed more profoundly. In this paper, the considered
energy system consists of an experimental biocatalytic methanation reactor, a
real photovoltaic park, a regenerative fuel cell and short-term storage units
to supply a residential district. A representative control sequence of the methanator
is obtained by modeling the scenario as an optimal control problem. A first HIL
simulation highlights that modifications of the instrumentation are required for
a grid injection of the generated methane. The scientific approach can be applied
to any energy system where some of the considered components are available as
experimental or real facilities. Non-exisiting components are simply replaced
by models. The presented approach helps to determine which parts or process parameters
are crucial for the planed operation before the overall energy system is realized
on a larger scale. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
