SunnyGrid80 Solar-Storage Plant

An 80 MW photovoltaic plant with a 40 MW / 80 MWh battery energy-storage system and its grid substation, modelled in ELANG as an audited reference to UL 9540A and IEC 62443 — a system-of-systems where the interfaces carry as much of the design as the boxes.

A system of systems, held together by its interfaces

PV, storage and substation are three systems that only work as one, and the risk lives in the interfaces between them — electrical, thermal, data and control.

The SunnyGrid80 model is the reference for interface-heavy design: every connection typed and traced, fire-safety and cyber assurance carried as first-class obligations rather than appendices.

Recipe and standards

Driven by the generic system recipe (ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288) with electronics and cyber assurance.

UL 9540A

Fire safety, carried as a tracked obligation.

IEC 62443

Cyber assurance, carried as a tracked obligation.

ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288

The lifecycle the plant is taken through.

Baseline lifecycle with electronics and cyber standards

Model a grid-scale solar-plus-storage plant whose interfaces, fire-safety case and cyber-assurance obligations are all traced and checkable.

  1. Frame

    Frame the plant’s mission and grid-connection requirements.

  2. Decompose

    Decompose into PV, BESS and substation systems with typed interfaces.

  3. Assure

    Carry fire-safety (UL 9540A) and cyber assurance (IEC 62443) as tracked obligations.

  4. Allocate

    Allocate requirements across the sub-systems and their interfaces.

  5. Verify

    Close verification and reach production-ready conformance.

CDR — Critical Design Review

The design baseline and its supply have to be real before build.

Released baseline

Geometry, BOM and software baseline are released.

Qualified sources

Every part has a qualified source and a lead time.

Interface control

Every interface is controlled by an interface-control item.

Risk

Open risks are within tolerance.

Change any released item and everything downstream of it goes stale — the baseline cannot silently drift out from under a passed gate.
