Abstract

The topic of this thesis is the improvement of a Modbus simulator, developed for testing energy management systems. The improvement is reflected in the ability to simulate the operation of devices involved in EMS systems, using both static and dynamic simulations. The developed solution enables functionality and performance testing without the need for physical devices.
