    Automatic Matlab and DIgSILENT

    This document describes an example of automatic data exchange between Matlab and DIgSILENT power system simulation software. A Matlab script generates active and reactive power values for two loads in a power system model in DIgSILENT. These values and other data are written to a .csv file which is read by a DIgSILENT script. The script updates the loads and runs a load flow, writing voltage and angle results back to the .csv file. This establishes a loop between the programs with communication managed by a flag file that indicates when each program should run or wait. The process provides a template for bidirectional data transfer between Matlab and DIgSILENT that could be customized according to user needs.

    Automatic data exchange between Matlab and DIgSILENT

    I created a simple example of automatic data exchange between Matlab and DIgSILENT that
    could be modified according to the user needs. So, I attached two files, one is MatDIg.m file, which
    contains the Matlab code for the automatic data exchange and where the user can design the algorithm
    and the other is DIgMat.pfd file, that contains the power system model and the script (DIgMat script),
    that contains the DIgSILENT code for the automatic data exchange. This communication between
    software is realized throughout 2 .cvs files (Flag.csv and Data.csv).
    Flag.csv - contains only one value (1 or 0). 1 - means that Matlab works and DIgSILENT
    stays. 0 - means that Matlab stays and DIgSILENT works.
    Data.csv - contains a vector of data and is divided in two. First 10 values can be filled with
    variables that are necessary in the data exchange procedure, and from 11 forward are the variables of
    interest that must be transferred in order to be used by DIgSILENT.
    In figure, is represented the overall procedure.

    Flag.csv

    Matlab DIgSILENT

    Data.csv

    In this example, in order to describe the communication, I considered an algorithm modeled in


    Matlab (in this case the algorithm are just some random generation of active and reactive power) and
    the power system modeled in DIgSILENT. So, I created a loop between Matlab and DIgSILENT
    which consists of:
    - the algorithm in Matlab generates P and Q for the 2 loads in the power system from
    DIgSILENT.
    - these data are written in Data.csv along with other variables useful in the automatic data
    exchange such as size of Data vector, number of iterations, current iteration.
    - after that, Data.csv is read by the script in DIgSILENT, memorized into a vector called Data,
    the P and Q of the two loads are written into each load interface, the load flow calculation is
    executed and the voltages and the angles of the two buses are read and, after that, written into
    Data.csv.
    - These data (voltages and angles of the two buses) are read by Matlab and used further in the
    analysis.
    The communication protocol of the automatic data exchange is realized throughout Flag.csv which
    is scanned and modified by both programs. When Matlab works (Flag.csv is 1), DIgSILENT waits and
    scan Flag.csv. After Matlab finishes its work, it changes the value of Flag.csv to 0 and DIgSILENT
    detects this change and its starts to work and Matlab stays and scan the Flag.csv to see when it is going
    to change.
    In order to run the procedure, follow the next steps:
    - Place Matlab in the left half of the screen and DIgSILENT in the right half of the screen.
    - Open MatDIg.m file.
    - Activate DIgMat.pfd project.
    - Open Data Manager, click on plus in the left side of the active Study Case called DIgMat,
    click on plus in the left side of the Study Case, click on Study Case and in the right, search for
    DIgMat script and double click it. The script will open.
    - First click run on the MatDIg.m, and then click Execute on the button from the upper right of
    the script.
    - After that, you will see in the output window of DIgSILENT the number of iterations and the
    voltages and angles that are transmitted to Matlab.

    Obs.: to understand better the whole procedure, open these two files and follow the code carefully,
    because it contains a large amount of comments regarding each sequence of code. Succes!
