Open-Loop Real-Time HIL Simulation Setup: By Use of IEEE C37.118.2 Protocol
This course begins by an online lecture that elaborates the use of communication protocols, in particular the IEEE C37.118.2 protocol, to set up an open loop real-time hardware-in-the-loop simulation environment. Not available at the moment, the course is intended to continue by remote access to our RT-HIL simulation facility where the course participants attain hands-on experience streaming PMU data from real-time simulators as well as configuring OpenPDC client to receive PMU data messages. If you are interested to participate in our hands-on training sessions, please sign up below.
Anyone who is familiar with fundamentals of RT-HIL simulation and would like to learn setting up an open loop RT-HIL simulation environment by use of the IEEE C37.118.2 PMU protocol!
The RT-HIL Academy course on “Real-Time Hardware-In-The-Loop Simulation: Fundamentals & Popular Platforms” is a highly recommended prerequisite for this course.
Upon completion of the course, you will:
- Gain basic understanding to set up an RT-HIL simulation environment by use of communication protocols
- Become familiar with the IEEE C37.118 PMU communication protocol and its implementation in RTDS and OPAL-RT simulators
- Become familiar with OpenPDC platform
- Gain hands-on experience setting up an open-loop RT-HIL simulation environment with RTDS or OPAL-RT simulator and OpenPDC
- A quick recap of the concept of real-time hardware-in-loop (RT-HIL) simulation
- Use of communication protocols to set up an RT-HIL simulation environment
- What is a communication protocol?
- Phasor versus Synchrophasor
- What is a Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU)?
- Introduction to IEEE C37.118.2 protocol
- Introduction to PMU clients
- PMU Connection Tester
- OpenPDC
- How to set up an open-loop RT-HIL simulation environment using IEEE C37.118.2 protocol
- Hands-on training
Upon successful completion of the course, you will earn an RT-HIL Academy Certificate of Completion; a proof that you have knowledge and hands-on experience setting up an open loop RT-HIL simulation environment by use of the IEEE C37.118.2 PMU protocol.
