About the webinar

Integrating solar, wind, and battery systems into the grid can be unpredictable. Engineers often face unexpected inverter behavior, commissioning delays, and compatibility issues between devices from different manufacturers. These challenges can lead to costly delays and operational risks.

This webinar will explain how integrating blackbox models, protected OEM-provided control logic, into your simulations can help with providing confidence in model behaviors and facilitate a smooth interconnection process. You will learn what blackboxes are, why they are essential for accurate system simulations, and how to integrate them using OPAL-RT’s HYPERSIM real-time simulation platform widely used by utilities, EPCs, and OEMs. You will be exposed to flexible integration workflows for Simulink, C++, and FORTRAN-based blackboxes along with a quick demonstration.

By the end of the tutorial, you will understand how blackbox controller integration can predict real-world behavior better, reduce commissioning risk, and ensure safe and reliable grid operation.
