Hardware-in-the-loop testing equips innovators to de-risk schemes prior to deployment on the grid by connecting real devices to a simulated power system, running on a real-time simulator, in the ...

The electric grid is rapidly becoming more complex as centralized, fossil-based generators are replaced by renewable, inverter-based resources, such as solar PV. The inherent variability of renewable ...

Several years ago, Microsoft Research offered an open-sourced tool called AirSim, which was a simulator for drones, cars and other autonomous vehicles. After years of experimentation, Microsoft ended ...

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing involves simulation of power plant behavior using the actual site-specific power plant controls before the commissioning stage. HIL testing can benefit all project ...
