I am looking for an experienced Electrical Engineering expert, preferably with a PhD and a strong background in MATLAB/Simulink, photovoltaic (PV) systems, and Digital Twin technology, to assist with the technical development of my Master's thesis.
**Project Overview**
I have six empirical degradation equations derived from real PV plant data using Gretl software. I need to develop a new, integrated MATLAB/Simulink model from scratch using these equations.
The model should consist of the following interconnected subsystems:
**1. Environmental Degradation Model**
- Obtain and integrate real meteorological data (GHI, GTI, ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and albedo).
- Implement the six existing degradation equations without modifying them.
- Calculate individual, combined, and cumulative PV degradation.
**2. Digital Twin Model**
- Develop a Digital Twin representation of a hypothetical PV power plant.
- Estimate PV performance and monitor system health.
- Predict future degradation and system health conditions.
- Propose a scientifically justified approach for evaluating the Digital Twin using simulation data.
**3. Proactive Maintenance Model**
- Develop a decision-making subsystem based on degradation predictions and health indicators.
- Generate early warnings and recommend appropriate maintenance actions.
**4. Results and Visualization**
- Create a clear dashboard displaying environmental inputs, degradation trends, system health, future predictions, and maintenance recommendations.
**Technical Requirements**
- Develop one integrated Simulink model with clearly organized and interconnected subsystems.
- Preferably compatible with MATLAB R2020.
- Minimize unnecessary MATLAB scripts and supporting files.
- Deliver the complete, editable Simulink model (.slx), required files, and documentation.
- Ensure the methodology and results are scientifically appropriate for a Master's thesis.
**5. Model Explanation and Training (Mandatory)**
The expert must provide a detailed, step-by-step explanation of the entire model, including:
- The purpose and function of each subsystem and block.
- How the degradation equations are implemented.
- How data flows between the subsystems.
- How the Digital Twin works and supports proactive maintenance.
- How to run, modify, and troubleshoot the model.
- How to interpret and explain the simulation results.
**Live online training sessions via Zoom or Google Meet are required and must be included in the agreed project cost.**
My goal is to fully understand the model and confidently explain and defend its methodology, equations, and results during my Master's thesis defense.
**Before Starting**
I would like the expert to review my proposed approach and provide a recommended Simulink architecture (block diagram) before beginning implementation.
Please provide your relevant experience, proposed methodology, estimated completion time, and total project cost.
