NewsIntroducing eMEGAsim for power system analysis Pushing the boundaries of multi-core computing, Opal-RT announces eMEGAsim, a distributed, parallel computing solution for real-time simulation of electromagnetic transients in power systems. Based on RT-LAB, eMEGAsim combines Intel processors and FPGA technology to obtain simulation time steps below 250 nanoseconds, a requirement for simulating the very fast electromagnetic transients expected in power systems. eMEGAsim is designed for real-time simulation, integration and hardware-in-the-loop testing of protection and power electronic controllers used to ensure the security of large power systems. It is also used for system design, training and research. NEW: Opal-RT’s xPC Target AcceleratorJoining the community of MathWorks System Integrators, Opal-RT will provide an affordable high-performance platform for xPC Target, to be used for rapid prototyping and HIL simulations. Opal-RT’s xPC Target Accelerator enables control engineers to quickly implement, test, and validate control logic, and optimize performance prior to in-system verification. Featuring FPGA Input and Output, the xPC Target Accelerator delivers high-performance reconfigurable I/O. Opal-RT’s xPC Target Accelerator platform shares the same core hardware as traditional RT-LAB systems, and is fully scalable to accommodate advanced applications. NEW: OP5511 High-current, high-voltage input conditioning moduleThe high-current and high-voltage input conditioning module allows the conversion of 4 current and 4 voltage signals to ±10V voltage level. The current inputs are factory configurable for up to 50A continuous. The measured voltage range is configurable for up to 600 volts. Such modules are typically used for monitoring current and voltage on DC motors. Opal-RT welcomes Stephen Whalen, Senior Account ManagerOpal-RT is proud to welcome Mr. Stephen Whalen as the new senior account manager for the Western United States. Mr. Whalen holds an MBA and will help drive the business growth of strategic accounts for Opal-RT.
