Real_Time_Digital_Simulator
Real Time Digital Simulator or RTDS as the abbreviation recommended by IEEE committee on real-time simulator applied for power systems provides power systems simulation technology for fast, reliable, accurate, and cost-effective study of power systems[citation needed] with complex High Voltage Alternating Current (HVAC) and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) networks. The RTS is a fully digital electromagnetic transient power system simulator that operates in real time.
HYPERSIM is one of the commercial RTS available, it has been developed by Hydro-Québec and eMEGAsim has been developed by OPAL-RT Technologies Inc. which was born within Hydro-Québec. HYPERSIM is now available from OPAL-RT Technologies.
RTDS is the trademark for the RTS simulator provided by RTDS Technologies.
