The interconnection of distributed generation units has a significant impact on the performance of an energy system. In this paper, challenges in designing grid-connected and islanded distributed energy systems (DES) are described and a concept of simulation models in the component-oriented modeling language Modelica® is presented, wherein simulation models are divided into physically detailed and physically abstracted models.
