The Modern Power System Simulation Facilities in the Department of Electrical Engineering

Real Time Digital Simulation (RTDS) is an advanced technology that performs real time simulations in power systems. This allows interfacing the simulation output with external hardware such as protective relays, phasor measurement units, etc., and performing hardware-in-the-loop simulations. Many top ranked universities are using the facility to train power engineering students on real time simulations. On the other hand, utilities can also use this to see the power system behavior in near real time as well.
