Manufacturers are building power plants having thousands of sun tracking systems equipped with communication and distributed over a wide area. Research is necessary to build a scalable communication system enabling modern control strategies. This poster abstract describes the ongoing work on the development of a simulation model of such power plants in OMNeT++. The model uses the INET Framework to build a communication network based on Ethernet. First results and problems of timing and data transmission experiments are outlined. The model enables research on new communication and control approaches to improve functionality and efficiency of power plants based on concentrator photovoltaic technology.enElektrische EnergiesystemeSystemintegration und Netze &#150 StromWärmeGasRegenerative StromversorgungElektrische Verteilnetze und BetriebsmittelDezentralenetzgekoppelte Energiesysteme (Smart Grids)Solare KraftwerkeOMNeT++FrameworkPhotovoltaic Power (CPV)621697conference paper
