Sistema SCADA integrando digital twins para gestão de armazenamento de energia

Abstract

The expansion of access to electricity in remote regions is a significant challenge for the sustainable development of isolated communities. The difficulty in integrating these areas into the national power grid—due to geographical, logistical, or economic constraints—has driven the search for technological solutions that ensure reliable, efficient, and environmentally responsible energy supply. In this context, hybrid microgrids powered by renewable sources, such as photovoltaics, combined with energy storage systems, represent a promising alternative. However, the efficient management of such microgrids still faces considerable obstacles. Among them, a key issue is the lack of digital tools capable of monitoring, controlling, and predicting their performance online, especially considering the technical and structural challenges typical of remote regions. Moreover, there is a significant gap in the adoption of technologies such as Digital Twins and modern SCADA systems in practical applications tailored to this context, which limits the full potential of these solutions. Motivated by this scenario, the present work aims to develop a free and open-source software platform, named SIGDEE– Intelligent Energy Management and Dispatch System. The application seeks to integrate emerging technologies such as Digital Twins, the Internet of Things (IoT), and SCADA systems into a robust, scalable, and accessible solution for the supervision and control of distributed energy systems. The application under development aims to enable the monitoring of simulations and performance analyses of energy storage systems, support decision-making, and contribute to improving energy efficiency in communities with limited infrastructure.
