Model Based Systems Engineering Concepts and Methodologies for Modeling of Renewable Power Plants

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is the formal application of a model-centered methodology for the design activities of engineered systems, being especially useful to support design requirements verification and validation of complex systems. The complexity of a system can be measured according to the number and relationships of the system elements. The design of renewable power plants has grown in complexity in last few decades, due to the integration of new technologies and the application of grid-code requirements. In this paper, a review of MBSE main concepts and leading methodologies (processes, methods, and tools) will be made with the objective of analyzing its application on the renewable power plants modelling and design. Key words. Model-based systems engineering, renewable power plant, complex system, model, methodology.
