More complex systems mean more elaborate testing and the increased need for accurate data. Digital simulation in real-time enables researchers to study multiple scenarios in near-real conditions without risk, prior to deployment in the field.

MMC is a distinctive topology offering distinct advantages, but also presents many new challenges. OPAL-RT’s testing platform is sufficiently versatile to support development and testing throughout the entire MMC production cycle.

As synchrophasor technology with Phase Measurement Units (PMU) becomes the focus of Wide Area Monitoring, Protection and Control applications within the power systems industry, real-time simulation is an increasingly critical asset to innovation.

OPAL-RT has developed a powerful, compact and portable real-time simulator for conducting AVR, PSS and speed governor tests on actual, functioning, generating units and/or control modules in laboratories.
