What it offers

• Simulation platforms for hardware-in-the-loop, power hardware-in-the-loop, rapid control prototyping and software-in-the-loop testing
• HYPERSIM, a simulator the company says has run real-time simulations of over 30,000 electrical nodes, enough to model national scale grids
• An FPGA based platform that ran a high speed converter model with a 32 nanosecond time step, for power electronics and motor drive validation
• Digital twin solutions, with technical support available through an online portal

Industries

The company lists energy, with smart grids and renewable integration, power electronics, from converters and inverters to control strategies, and automotive, covering electric vehicles, battery systems and driver assistance development. It also names aerospace among its markets. According to the site, engineering, procurement and construction firms can cut commissioning time by up to 40 percent by validating controls early.

Philosophy

OPAL-RT states that it aims to make real-time simulation efficient and accessible, with the goal of placing a real-time simulator on every engineer and researcher's desk. It describes open, easy-to-use systems and a collaborative approach from start to finish, and lists offices and contacts in several regions of the world.
