RSCAD

The RTDS Simulator employs a user-friendly interface, the RSCAD Software Suite, to create a working environment familiar to the power system engineer. This software is the user's main interface with the RTDS hardware and was designed to allow the user to perform all of the necessary steps to prepare and run a simulation, and to analyze simulation output.

RSCAD is comprised of several modules from which all of the simulation operations are controlled. Click on a each module for more detailed information.

Examples of additional features available in the RSCAD Software Suite include:

  • Automated batch operation minimizes user interaction. A script file can be created by record/replay or text editing to describe a sequence of events (starting/stopping cases, initiating events, changing setpoints, etc.). The script can then be run repeatedly and can also be used for automation of result reporting, analysis and printing. Therefore, enabling thousands of automated cases to be run and a summary report created without user interaction. Batch Facility
  • Multi-tasking capability allows multiple Draft, RunTime and MultiPlot sessions to all be operating at
    once enabling optimal usage of the hardware.
  • Single line diagram format in Draft provides the flexibility to toggle between single line or three phase
    format for viewing, editing and printing.
  • Load-flow initialization provides the ability to calculate the load-flow prior to starting the run.
  • Drawing hierarchy provides the ability to view complex circuits in Draft in various levels of detail.
  • Multi-language support is currently available including English, Chinese, and Japanese.
  • Multiple RSCAD software installations can be establish on any number of customer computers. This
    allows different groups to work on real time simulation, circuit construction, post-processing, etc. all at the
    same time.
  • Flexible JAVA-based software supports various computing platforms including pc.
  • RSCAD periodic software updates available in the client support area of the RTDS website.
  • PSS/E data file conversion is available to import data for use with the RTDS Simulator.
