Webinar Q&A | Introduction to SPS Software: From its Origins to a New Era

The document is a collection of questions submitted by attendees during our webinar “Introduction to SPS Software: From its Origins to a New Era,” focusing on those that could not be addressed live, along with detailed answers provided by our experts after the session. It covers key topics such as the integration of SPS Software with OPAL-RT’s real-time simulation platforms (including ARTEMiS), compatibility with MATLAB/Simulink versions, and workflows for transitioning from offline modeling to real-time and HIL testing. The discussion also explores solver behavior, performance considerations, and differences between SPS, Simscape, and legacy SimPowerSystems, as well as practical aspects like loss estimation, model consistency between offline and real-time environments, and licensing considerations. Overall, it provides valuable insights for engineers working with power system simulation and real-time SPS-based workflows.
