OUR ATTENDING TEAM MEMBERS

Kati Sidwall
Technical Marketing Manager | Marketing

Kati Sidwall holds a B.Eng in Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering from Carleton University, Canada. She founded the annual Carleton University Green Energy Symposium in 2010. In 2012, she received the Canadian Solar Industries Association’s Emerging Leader Award. She currently serves as the Technical Marketing Lead at RTDS Technologies Inc.

UdeeshashSamarasekera

Udeesha Samarasekera
Technical Sales Engineer | Marketing & Sales

Udeesha Samarasekera received her B.Sc in Electrical Engineering from the University of Manitoba, Canada in 2013. She received a M.A.Sc in electrical engineering from University of Toronto, Canada in 2015. In 2013 and 2015 Udeesha won the CIGRE Canada best student paper award for her work on fault location estimation techniques on transmission lines under high dc offset and sub-harmonic conditions, and for her master’s work on hybrid HVDC transmission with LCC and multi-terminal full bridge MMC converter technology, respectively. Following graduation, Udeesha joined RTDS Technologies Inc as a Simulation Specialist in the customer support department. She was involved in technical support, commissioning the RTDS at customer sites, providing RTDS training courses, and model development.  As of 2022, Udeesha serves as a Technical Sales Engineer at RTDS technologies Inc. Udeesha is a registered professional engineer in the province of Manitoba.

The GTSOC, a new auxiliary hardware for the RTDS Simulator, facilitates the deterministic integration of vendor control models into the real-time power system simulation while protecting intellectual property.

The GTSOC features a powerful FPGA board with multi-processor system-on-a-chip technology to support this challenging application.

The ability to black-box vendor controls and include them in a hardware-in-the-loop testbed is increasingly important for interoperability testing and de-risking inverter-based resources on the modern grid.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Real-time simulation is changing the game for power system professionals. Join us at our booth to discuss the latest advancements in real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing, and learn how forward-thinking users around the globe are applying this technology.

Improve Performance of 
Distribution Automation Systems

The RTDS Simulator allows real distribution system assets to be connected to the simulated grid in a closed loop for safe and comprehensive testing, and optimization prior to deployment.

De-risk HVDC
& FACTS Devices

The RTDS Simulator is used by all of the major HVDC & FACTS manufacturers to perform Factory Systems Testing of their control systems, and by utilities to support the pre-commissioning process and de-risk changes through the project’s lifetime.
