MEET US AT OUR BOOTH

Stop by our booth and chat with us for the latest insights into real-time digital simulation and hardware-in-the-loop testing. Learn more about our technology and how it can help with your electric ship technologies.

The conference includes invited speakers, panel sessions, technical sessions, and networking opportunities with a wide array of professionals involved in the electrification of ships.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT OUR BOOTH

HIL TESTING: BUILDING CONFIDENCE FOR DATA CENTER OPERATORS, UTILITIES, AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS

Real-time simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing with the RTDS Simulator is a key technology for de-risking data center protection, automation, and control systems. There are increasingly high expectations when it comes to the reliable and secure operation of data centers. HIL testing supports the design and validation of data center electrical architecture, ensuring uninterrupted operation and improving the speed and cost of data center deployment.
