Enhancing BESS performance and reliability with C-HIL simulation

Discover how NHOA Energy, a global leader in large-scale Power System and energy storage solutions, collaborated with OPAL-RT TECHNOLOGIES to elevate BESS performance and reliability. By integrating Control-Hardware-in-the-Loop (C-HIL) simulation into their engineering workflow, NHOA Energy successfully de-risked project commissioning, optimized control systems, and validated grid-code compliance before deployment. Leveraging OPAL-RT’s high-fidelity real-time simulation Hardware, NHOA Energy was able to accelerate development, fine-tune power conversion behavior, and ensure robust operation and maintenance (O&M) across its Battery Energy Storage Systems. This collaboration demonstrates how advanced C-HIL-based validation and control architectures can transform the future of grid-connected storage, driving safer, smarter, and more efficient renewable Power System integration.
