Hybuild D3.2 - Configuration of the hard- and software interfaces of the DCS finished

HYBUILD is an EU Horizon 2020-funded project, led by COMSA Corporación, which will develop two innovative compact hybrid electrical/thermal storage systems for stand-alone and district connected buildings. Purpose : The aim of deliverable D3.2 is to provide a comprehensive description of the hard- and software communication interfaces between all actors, sensors, build-in controllers of the components and modules of the hybrid thermal and electrical sub-systems, and the existing automation systems used in the laboratory infrastructure at ITAE, NTUA, CSEM and AIT. D3.2 gives detailed information on their configuration, developed human machine interfaces and interfaces to software for advanced control and simulation. The established communication and automation is the pre-requisite for the conduction of extensive experimental performance tests of the Mediterranean and Continental sub-systems modules, basic control schemes and their interaction in Task 3.2. The D3.2 documentation is also useful for all activities related to the planning and integration of the automation systems for the sub-systems at the demo sites. D3.2 provides detailed information, mostly based on lists/tables, textual descriptions and schemes on hardware modules, communication interfaces of on-board Programmable Logical Controllers (PLC) from DAIK, OCHS, FAHR, CSEM, existing and extensions to laboratory process control systems (PCS) from ITAE, NTUA and AIT, additional control systems such as the DC bus maintenance PC, developed graphical user interfaces, and additional sensors and actors used at specific modules, and finally a complete report on all data points, corresponding protocols and parameters for sub-systems automation and data acquisition.
