The power systems industry is changing considerably with the shift from centralized power generation to a grid featuring considerable distributed energy resources (DER).
Along with the integration of smart technologies with the potential to provide advanced real-time monitoring, control, and protection capabilities, this paradigm shift has dramatically increased the complexity of bulk and localized power systems. While new technologies promise increased reliability and efficiency, they bring their own set of technological and integration challenges, which cannot be ignored.
OPAL-RT provides accessible, cutting-edge, real-time simulation technology in order to address these challenges and accelerate the availability of greater products and more reliable energy transmission.
