Control, Monitoring and Visualization Center (CMVC)
The Control, Monitoring and Visualization Center of the Energy Lab 2.0 is a research-oriented infrastructure for the design, development and testing of new software for planning and operating smart energy system solutions. Based on a computer cluster with cloud and big data technologies, innovative services provide highly scalable data management, analysis, forecasting, simulation, optimization and visualization functionalities that can be used directly via the web. A SCADA instrumentation ensures the data and control connection of local and remote Energy Lab 2.0 plants and networks.
The co-simulation environment of the CMVC allows models of new components in the energy system as well as the SCADA interfaces of existing plants to be linked in an overall model. By adding data prediction modules, market models and optimization tools to determine operating schedules, future operating options can be simulated and evaluated in the model.
