Power Systems Control Prototyping and Testing

Design, simulate, and test power system controls and large electrical networks.

Electrical and power systems engineers in leading technology companies use Speedgoat real-time simulation solutions to accelerate projects ranging from transmission and distribution networks, to microgrids and onboard power systems.

Speedgoat’s seamless integration with Simscape™ Electrical™ enables real-time simulation of operational scenarios in a repeatable way. Design, simulate, and test onboard electric systems, transmission systems, wind turbine generators, energy storage, relay, and protection systems (IEC 61850, DNP3), including interfaces to external power amplifiers.

Simulate grid-connected/islanded microgrids with renewable distributed energy resources (DER) and utility-scale energy storage systems. Design and validate energy management system (EMS) supervisory logic for all operating conditions and leverage controller hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) for testing grid codes and standards such as IEEE 1547. Speedgoat hardware provides the scalability and cybersecurity measures required to design, simulate, and test complex next-generation power systems.

“The ability to easily and effectively transfer code from Simulink^® to the Speedgoat real-time target machine has resulted in a significant time saving over the course of the project."

Capabilities for Real-Time Simulation and Testing

Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP) - Develop and Test Controllers and Components

Accelerate the development of controllers and grid components such as Phasor Measurement Units (PMU), centralized power management systems (PMS), protection relays, and onboard electrical subsystems. Easily connect with your actual power grid or power electronics hardware I/O and interfaces such as Modbus TCP and DNP3.

Generate, acquire, and log signals at nanosecond granularity to understand transient stability of power systems, and log electrical faults and data. Direct deployment to the real-time hardware out of Simulink enables power systems engineers and scientists to quickly optimize security, efficiency, and performance of their control strategies.

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) - Real-time Simulation, Test and Verification

Whether you are looking into traditional Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing or Power-HIL simulation, Speedgoat is your companion. Real-time simulation allows power systems test engineers to analyze and test renewable integration, control equipment, or extensive utility grid simulations in real-time conditions before deployment. Simulate thousands of electrical nodes and replay test data from grid measurements. Test and verify operating and fault conditions, including I/O, at nanosecond resolution to record electrical faults and grid transients.
