This option, RTDS Reserved Time, allows you to reserve the simulator for running simulations. Remote access will be provided to a computer with RSCAD, the software to model and run RTDS simulations. If you do not need a specific time period reserved, then you can look into our RTDS Open-Use option, where the simulator is available on a first-come, first-served basis. We also offer a Modeling ONLY option that is ideal for those needing more time with just RSCAD.
The DERConnect testbed is equipped with a real-time simulator that is capable of simulating large distribution and transmission networks or high-fidelity models of DER systems. The ability for the simulations to run in real-time enables real power systems to also interact with the simulations through our amplifier.
