Abstract
A computer-implemented method for updating a description of an automation system of a power network including at least: providing a preliminary description of the automation system, the preliminary description including components and relationships; providing at least one non-functional requirement; adapting the preliminary description to meet the non-functional requirement by modifying the components and relationships; instantiating a final description of the automation system based on the adapted preliminary description.
Claims17
A computer-implemented method for updating a description of an automation system of a power network comprising:
- providing a human machine interface configured to allow a user to define a preliminary description of the automation system and at least one non-functional requirement;
- providing the preliminary description of the automation system to an engineering system, the preliminary description comprising components, attributes of the components, each attribute corresponding to a property or parameter of a respective component, and relationships between the components;
- providing the at least one non-functional requirement to the engineering system;
- adapting the preliminary description to meet the non-functional requirement by modifying the components and the relationships between the components in the preliminary description, by modifying the attributes of the components;
- instantiating a final description of the automation system based on the adapted preliminary description;
- and
- implementing the final description on the automation system, wherein operation of the automation system is controlled according to the final description.
An engineering system for updating a description of an automation system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a recording medium coupled to the at least one processor, the recording medium storing processor-executable instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the engineering system to provide:
- a description editor adapted to provide a preliminary description of an automation system, the preliminary description comprising components, attributes of the components, each attribute corresponding to a property or parameter of a respective component, and relationships between the components, and at least one non-functional requirement;
- a human machine interface configured to allow a user to access and use the description editor to define the preliminary description of the automation system and the at least one non-functional requirement;
- and
- an instantiation element configured to adapt the preliminary description to meet the non-functional requirement by modifying the components and the relationships between the components in the preliminary description, by modifying the attributes of the components, and to instantiate a final description based on the adaptation of the preliminary description;
- wherein the engineering system is configured to implement the final description on the automation system, and operation of the automation system is controlled according to the final description.
