De-Risk the Energy Transition with Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing
by RTDS Technologies from IEEE Spectrum on (#71X8E)
Learn how hardware-in-the-loop testing validates protection schemes, renewable integration, and HVDC systems before deployment. Download this introduction to real-time power system simulation.
In this white paper, you'll learn:
- Why phasor-domain simulation can't capture transient phenomena in inverter-dominated grids
- How real-time EMT simulation enables closed-loop testing with actual hardware
- Key components of a hardware-in-the-loop testbed
- Applications across renewable energy, HVDC systems, microgrids, and protection schemes
- Real-world examples from multi-terminal HVDC links to traveling wave protection
- How HIL testing reduces risk, accelerates commissioning, and validates multi-vendor interoperability
