Accelerating EMT Simulation: Essential for Planning and Managing the Power Grids of the Future
FY 2024-25 · 2024-06-03
Summary
The transition to renewable energies poses major technological challenges for power grids. As a result, accurate simulation of electromagnetic transients (EMT) is becoming essential, and computation acceleration is becoming crucial to effectively meet market requirements. Thanks to the current capabilities of our flagship platforms, the value proposition lies in the acceleration of real-time EMT simulation, integrating HIL and offering excellent interoperability with other tools, ensuring speed and accuracy. These solutions aim not only to accelerate upstream renewable energy deployment, but also to prevent critical shutdowns and failures in the integrated system.

Description (French)
La transition vers les énergies renouvelables pose des défis technologiques majeurs aux réseaux électriques. Ainsi, la simulation précise des transitoires électromagnétiques (EMT) devient essentielle, et l'accélération des calculs devient cruciale pour répondre efficacement aux exigences du marché. Grâce aux capacités actuelles de nos plateformes phares, la valeur de la proposition repose sur l'accélération de la simulation EMT en temps réel, intégrant le HIL et offrant une excellente interopérabilité avec d'autres outils, ce qui assure vitesse et précision. Ces solutions visent non seulement à accélérer le déploiement des énergies renouvelables en amont, mais aussi à prévenir les arrêts critiques et les pannes dans le système intégré.
