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.
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.
De-risk WAMPAC Systems
by Simulating PMUs
The RTDS Simulator can stream IEC/IEEE 60255-118-1 compliant synchrophasor data to an external PDC for testing wide area protection and control schemes.
De-risk Deployment
of New Protection Systems
The RTDS Simulator allows protection equipment to be subjected to virtually all possible faults and operating conditions in a controlled, flexible environment.
