Hardware in the loop for renewable generators
Introducing industry-first technology.
The electricity market is evolving rapidly. Test in real time, detect issues early, make decisions without delay.

Power system security
Ensure that grid connected generation control systems adequately maintain a stable grid and respond predictably to events.

Certainty of delivery
Prove designs early in the development phase to provide certainty in the network planning process and encourage accelerated deployment of renewables.

Derisking projects
Reduce the potential for costly delays and encourage practices that result in faster commercial output of large renewable generation projects.

Real-time testing platform
Test a range of aggregated control systems such as supervisory plant controllers, power quality meters, SCADA systems and more using our real-time platform. Validate the designed control systems in a real-world environment using a real-time simulator (RTS) that acts as the interface between hardware and the modelled electrical network.
