There has been an increase of domestic energy storage system installations during the last years. Those systems provide only local/self-consumption. The implementation of other grid- or market-related services such as frequency and voltage control would allow for a tighter system integration and a possible improvement of the economic feasibility. Providing multiple service in one system leads to interoperability, flexibility, complexity (overlapping of functions) issues. In order to cope with those issues a framework for rapid prototyping of control applications focused on energy storage systems is proposed. In this context, it can be a useful tool to aid component manufacturers in the development of novel storage applications. Also smart grid system integrators and energy utilities can profit using this kind of tool-support. The proposed approach uses model-driven engineering together with well-known smart grid and industrial related standards (i.e., IEC 61850, CIM, and IEC 61499). Its applicability is demonstrated on an illustrative example.
