Grid Resources functional library

Schematic Editor components and functionalities available with the Grid Resources license

Real-time only: This document is valid only for real-time/VHIL simulation.

The Grid Resources functional library is a collection of components and functionalities that support real-time modeling of a growing collection of ubiquitous microgrid device models. Its main purpose is to enable you to accelerate the process of building small to medium scale grid models for simulation and analysis, allowing you to fully concentrate on the system and/or device under test, be it a grid controller, a DER controller,or another device. Components and functionalities included in the Grid Resources libraries enable early tests of grid-connected controllers, device-to-device interactions, and system design with the use of complete models of DERs, loads, gensets, and many others.

The following tables list all Schematic Editor components available for real-time simulation with the Grid Resources functional library license.
