Communication is often an afterthought when designing or deploying new distributed energy resource (DER) projects. In practice, though, these communication issues can make or break integration projects when deployed to the energy grid. See how HIL Compatible devices together with model-based system engineering (MBSE) can be used to safely validate communication and control issues prior to system deployment …

Validating novel technology can be a daunting challenge, but digital twins offer a transformative solution. By simulating real-world conditions in a virtual environment, digital twins help de-risk, accelerate, and streamline the development of Community Energy Systems. They also play a crucial role in showcasing the value and performance of innovative battery systems. To understand how digital twins can rev…

Modern grids, including emerging microgrids and advanced shipboard power systems, increasingly rely on communication and control networks to manage countless smart power electronics devices, such as solar inverters, wind turbine inverters, and battery storage systems. These devices use various communication protocols like Modbus, IEC 61850, and DNP3, making a well-integrated communication toolbox essential …

Modern shipboard power systems (SPS) are increasingly complex, filled with digital control, protection, and communication hardware and software. As ships become smarter and more electric, the complexity of these systems will only grow. This complexity has led to costly commissioning delays for sophisticated vessels due to SPS software issues. To address these challenges, advanced testing tools like the Mari…
