De-risk HVDC & FACTS systems
The RTDS Simulator allows engineers to model the behaviour of HVDC & FACTS devices over a large frequency range in real time. This allows for the highly efficient simulation of many different operating conditions, and for the hardware-in-the-loop testing of HVDC & FACTS control systems.
The RTDS Simulator is used by all of the major HVDC & FACTS manufacturers to perform Factory Systems Testing of their control systems prior to deployment on the utility grid. This dramatically reduces the risk of misoperation or negative interaction with other converters or the AC network.
The leaders' choice for factory systems testing
Ongoing operation and control modification
Grid integration risk analysis and mitigation
Grid code compliance demonstration
AC system interaction studies
Pre-commissioning testing
Post-commissioning event diagnostics
Control operator training
The fastest and most flexible way to validate novel schemes
The RTDS Simulator’s HVDC & FACTS models are robust, flexible, and representative of emerging technologies in the power system industry.
- LCC models with internal and external valve faults
- 2- and 3-level VSC models switching in the 50 kHz + range
- Custom-topology MMC models with up to 1,024 submodules per valve
- Firing pulse and ramp generators
- HVDC & FACTS sample cases to demonstrate configuration options to the user
