Information for tutorial attendees
Tutorial 1: System level modeling and simulation of MVDC distribution grids featuring solid state transformers
The audience should have a computer and possibly an installation of the modeling software that can be found on simba.io (free for academics, trial version for those working in the industry).
Tutorial 3: A comprehensive guide to digital twin design, integration, and applications in DC microgrids
The hands-on session for this tutorial will involve developing a small-scale hierarchical digital twin. The attendees should bring their personal computers with MATLAB-Simulink 2023b installed.
In case someone is unable to arrange this, they are still welcome to attend and encouraged to share a computer with another attendee.
