Abstract

This paper presents details on the design, architectural features and applications of a real-time digital simulator (RTDS) developed at the Manitoba HVDC Research Centre (Winnipeg, Canada). Custom hardware and software have been developed and collectively applied to the simulation and study of electromagnetic transients phenomenon in power systems in real-time. The combination of real-time operation, flexible I/O, graphical user interface and an extensive library of accurate power system component models make the RTDS an ideal simulation tool with a wide range of applications
