Communication Protocols

Interoperability. Cyber-security. Modbus, Sunspec, IEC61850, IEEE C37.118, DNP3, CAN, OPC UA, and more.

Typhoon HIL Communication protocol support is fully customer-driven and continually updated. Currently supported protocols can be found on our Communication protocol documentation page.

This section contains examples that put these components into meaningful power system and power electronics applications, demonstrating the implementation of smart grid, remotely controlled DERs, cyber-security, and interoperability testing solutions.
