Modeling & Simulation
Power system models, real-time simulators, and HIL labs: built around the equipment and decisions you need for validation.
Modern distribution systems combine inverter-based resources, battery storage, controllable loads, protection, automation, and communications, so performance depends on how equipment, control logic, data quality, and timing interact across vendors. No single model or method captures that behavior. Utilities, developers, and critical-infrastructure owners need realistic digital environments that reproduce normal, abnormal, and contingency conditions without disrupting live operations.
Offerings
Open Energy Solutions builds and validates fit-for-purpose power system models and digital test environments, spanning distribution analysis, EMT and real-time simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, digital twins, and test automation.
Closed-loop testing of protective relays, RTACs, and microgrid or plant controllers through faults, switching, islanding, resynchronization, and restoration sequences.
PSCAD/EMTDC offline transient studies alongside RTDS, Typhoon HIL, and OPAL-RT real-time platforms, with time step and fidelity matched to the engineering needs.
Feeder, microgrid, and utility test-system models built from one-line diagrams, equipment data, control documentation, relay settings, and field records for study-grade accuracy.
Battery storage, solar, and inverter-based resource models exercised across operating modes to confirm control response, ride-through, and IEEE 1547 grid-support behavior.
Simulation-based twins combining electrical models, control logic, device settings, and telemetry so devices and applications are evaluated without affecting live operations.
Simulator selection, I/O and communications design, installation, commissioning, operating procedures, and staff training that hand a working HIL lab to client teams.
OES selects method, fidelity, and platform around the engineering rather than a preferred tool, then tests models, protection, controls, I/O, communications, and real hardware as one system. The same engineers carry the work from model to lab commissioning to field operation — across PSCAD, RTDS, Typhoon HIL, OPAL-RT, OpenDSS, and mixed-vendor equipment.
