RTDS HIL Testing

RTDS Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing

Real-Time Testing for Energy and Grid Systems

Powra provides real-time Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing for renewable energy, BESS and grid-connected power systems. Our RTDS-based testing environment enables physical controllers, inverters and protection devices to be connected to real-time EMT simulations under controlled operating conditions. 

Testing Capabilities

- Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop (CHIL) testing

- Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) testing

- Real-time EMT simulation

- Controller and inverter performance validation

- Protection relay and fault-response testing

- SCADA, EMS and PPC control logic validation

- Model benchmarking and accuracy verification

- Closed-loop testing through analogue, digital and Ethernet I/O

Applications

Our RTDS HIL testing supports:

- Pre-commissioning risk reduction

- BESS and renewable plant controller validation

- Grid-code and dynamic-performance assessment

- Power dispatch and control-response testing

- System integration and troubleshooting

- Comparison of different control models and configurations

Powra's Value

By testing control systems and physical devices before site commissioning, Powra helps identify integration issues early, reduce commissioning risks and improve the reliability of project deployment.
