Demos
Digital Substation Testing Solution
See a substation setup with ten bays and a BESS controller, simulating different fault scenarios to evaluate protection device and controller responses.
The hardware includes ABB’s SSC600 smart protection device, an industrial switch with GPS timing, an EPC Power BESS controller, and a HIL606 system.
BMS Testing Solution
This demo features a 16-cell off-the-shelf Battery Management System (Orion Jr2 BMS) connected to a simulated battery stack, sensors, and a charger/load.
It uses Smart Cell Emulators and standard interfaces to test the BMS in both normal operation—monitoring SOC, voltage, temperature, and current—and fault conditions like broken sensing lines or overheating.
TyphoonSim and RCP TI Demo
TyphoonSim is a high-fidelity simulation tool designed for real-time modeling and testing of power electronics and microgrid systems. It enables fast and accurate validation of control algorithms, grid integration strategies, and system dynamics without requiring dedicated HIL hardware.
