JOIN US FOR THIS SEMINAR

This two-day seminar hosted by RTDS Technologies is geared at power system professionals interested in de-risking control and protection systems for projects involving data centers and inverter-based resources. The event will focus on how to effectively apply real-time power system simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing to support the design and validation of data center electrical architecture, including co-location with renewable power plants and storage systems. This technology can play a critical role in increasing the speed and cost of data center deployment, ensuring highly reliable and resilient systems, and providing confidence to operators.

The program will include several presentations from experts in the field.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

We're pivoting! This seminar is being moved from an in-person format to virtual event to make it more accessible.

We have put together a free webinar series for data center that will happen on October 27 - 30, 2025! Click the link below to learn more and register.

Thank you for your interest in learning. We can't wait to connect with you online!
