Considerations about realreal -time simulations

About the importance of simulation Lets consider the design of an aircraft.
Cost Billions$ to design and manufacture. Can we wait until the first flight test to verify it actually fly?

Consider now a large g p power g grid

Again, it can cost $billions to design Can we wait until commissioning to make sure it is stable and robust?

Main Purpose of RealReal-Time Simulation

It is sometimes difficult to test a power systems device in its working environment or in real life condition. Solution: One can connect a real network device (ex: a FACTS controller) to a simulated power grid

Actuators

Sensors

MODEL OF POWER GRID

Other common applications: statistical testing, correlation testing
