OPAL-RT: Your Partner for Strong and Funded R&D Proposals (View from Both Sides of the Atlantic)

OPAL-RT has, since the 1990s, had a huge stake in the success of both its academic and industrial clients. As a company that re-invests heavily in R&D, we’ve worked with respected collaborators on projects once deemed impossible. Our clients build EV charging stations on the world’s longest highway; they make pioneering MEA flights on battery power alone. Join us to see how we help build your case, from drawing board to proof of concept, from our locations on both sides of the Atlantic.

Control Prototyping and Power Hardware in-the-Loop for Microgrids Assessment

OPAL-RT has been in HIL real-time simulation since 1997. Here we talk with our resellers and educational partners about the OP1420, OPAL-RT’s new Microgrid PHIL Test Bench, and of their use of it as an integrated demonstration and training aid and trial unit for their installed users. Our joint mission is to provide educational resources to help foster learning in new microgrid concepts, and our shared expertise with transmission, power distribution, and consumption patterns have made us sought-after partners for DER integration as the 21st century hybrid grid evolves.

NEXTGRID: Innovative PHIL for Grid Forming Converter Control Research

Learn in this webinar why PHIL was the only possibility for Duisburg-Essen University to achieve the research goals for the NextGRID project and how OPAL-RT & Lucas Nülle helped with the Microgrid PHIL Test Bench set-up.

The NEXTGRID project focuses on the development of innovative network-forming control & operation management concepts, novel protection & control concepts and information & communication structures and their validation and demonstration of the possible potential with regard to system stability by means of a test & demonstration facility with the previous described PHIL system. Wide Area Monitoring and a Dynamic Security Assessment System will be applied to investigate future system operation.

Hybrid Powertrain Multi-ECU HIL Testing

Learn how to quickly implement model-based simulation on FPGAs and deploy an integrated power electronics HIL system that addresses the need for high performance paired with flexibility for rapid test system changes.

This "multi-ECU" demonstration features power electronics and an electric machine (motor) in NI I/O connected FPGAs and VeriStand with OPAL-RT's VeriStand Add-On for Power Electronics. With the addition of Comemso battery cell emulators, we integrate models from The Mathworks Simulink and LabVIEW in VeriStand to simulate and test the other components around the vehicle control unit, such as physical ECUs from Pi-Innovo and ORION BMS. Use this test solution to connect design and test workflows and to streamline the transition from desktop design to model-in-the-loop (MIL) to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
