This presentation will explore the role that real-time simulators and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing can have in innovative projects at electric utilities and other institutions. HIL testing allows power system professionals to de-risk the integration of novel systems, anticipate and mitigate negative interactions, and optimize device performance by connecting real devices to a simulated network. HIL testing provides a depth of analysis and systems-level testing approach that are highly beneficial, and often critical, in the modern power system. Inverter-based renewable energy resources, communication protocol-based protection and control, and other grid modernization technologies can create vulnerabilities that conventional modelling and testing processes are often blind to. Hardware-in-the-loop testing allows engineers to anticipate these issues, preventing mis operation and negative interactions which may result in outages or damaged equipment.
The RTDS® Simulator is the industry standard for real-time power system simulation. Hardware-in-the-loop testing with the RTDS Simulator has been applied by power system innovators worldwide to enable a secure global energy transition. Applications of this technology include de-risking the large-scale integration of renewable energy resources, cybersecurity testing, microgrid protection and control testing, distribution automation and intelligent switchgear testing, de-risking HVDC and FACTS integration, wide area protection and control studies, power electronics testing, and more. This presentation will explain the theory and benefits of real-time simulation, describe the hardware and software required for HIL testing, and provide examples of real-world case studies where real-time simulation has been used to the advantage of grid modernization projects.
