FAQ
Find the answers to your questions
What is the BERTA test bench used for?
The BERTA test bench is designed for testing speed governors, turbines, voltage regulators (AVR), and power system stabilizers (PSS). It allows us to simulate real-world conditions and validate both actual generating units and real controllers connected to virtual systems.
How does the BERTA test bench support real-time simulation?
The BERTA test bench is equipped with a high-performance real-time simulator powered by our RT-LAB software. This enables us to perform synchronized, accurate testing of components either transmitting power to the grid or interfacing with virtual generating units.
Can we use the BERTA test bench in a power plant environment?
Yes, the BERTA test bench is portable and robust, making it ideal for deployment directly in power plants. It supports real-time testing of live generating units while they are synchronized and operating on the main grid.
What makes our BERTA test bench reliable for AVR and PSS testing?
We built the BERTA test bench to ensure precise and safe testing under realistic operating conditions. Its compatibility with real controllers and its ability to simulate complex grid scenarios make it an effective tool for AVR and PSS validation.
Is the BERTA test bench compatible with virtual generating units?
Absolutely. With the BERTA test bench, we can connect real controllers to a virtual generating unit in the lab, enabling flexible and thorough testing without needing to access a physical machine.
