A Real-Time Development Platform for the Next Generation of Power System Control Functions

A real-time development platform for simulation studies of control and operation of the next generation of power system control functions is introduced. The platform covers all aspects of the challenges of future power system requirements related to operation and control. In this paper, the requirements of a simulation platform will be formulated. A laboratory setup with special attention to the utilization of real-time simulation equipment and some typical reference applications will be described.
