De-Risk the Energy Transition with Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing is being highlighted as a crucial method for validating protection schemes, renewable energy integration, and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems prior to their deployment. The white paper discusses the limitations of phasor-domain simulation in capturing transient phenomena in inverter-dominated grids and emphasizes the advantages of real-time electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation for closed-loop testing with actual hardware.

This development is significant as it reduces risks associated with the energy transition, accelerates the commissioning process, and ensures multi-vendor interoperability, which is essential for the successful implementation of renewable energy systems and microgrids.
