Capabilities and services can be summarized as follows:

1. Real-Time Simulation of Large-Scale Power Systems:

   • Equipped with real-time simulators capable of conducting Electromagnetic Transient (EMT) simulations for large-scale power systems with detailed modeling of thousands of nodes. These simulations can operate with small time steps (1-150 μs), making them highly effective for real-time analysis and instantaneous measurement monitoring.

2. High-Frequency Range for Power Electronics Simulation:

   • The simulation capability extends from DC up to 3 kHz, making it particularly suitable for the study and simulation of power electronics converters, an essential component in modern power systems, especially with the increasing use of renewable energy sources.

3. High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Co-Simulation:

   • With high-performance computing. we can perform complex co-simulations and supports both hardware and software in the loop testing, broadening the scope of research and development activities.

4. Protection Performance and Coordination in Renewable Energy Integration:

   • Team with the Eversource Energy Center and SEL, Sunco can  conducts research on the challenges posed by the integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) into the power grid, particularly regarding protection performance and coordination. This includes studying the effects of reverse power flow and sympathetic tripping in microgrids, crucial for ensuring the reliability and safety of power systems with renewable energy sources.

5. Hardware in the Loop (HIL) Testing with Advanced Relay Systems:

   • Using SEL relay for HIL testing, we can simulate real-world scenarios and validate protection strategies under various conditions. This approach is enhanced by the use of Low Energy Analog (LEA) signals, providing a more accurate and effective testing method compared to traditional power amplifier-based testing.

6. Optimization of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS):

   • Team with SEL and Eversource Energy Center, we can focus on determining the optimal size and location of BESS in power systems for frequency support. This involves minimizing investment and operation costs while ensuring efficient utilization of transmission capacity, adjusting power flow, and reducing losses.

7. Study of Dynamic Voltage Support and Fast Fault Current Injection:

   • Team with SEL and Eversource Energy Center, we can investigate the impact of dynamic voltage support provided by fast fault current injection from converter-based generation on power systems. This research is vital for understanding how to maintain system stability and voltage levels during fault conditions in systems with high penetration of renewable energy sources.

In summary,  wit the support of the Eversource Energy Center and SEL, we can provide a cutting-edge solution for real-time simulation, testing, and research focused on the integration and optimization of renewable energy resources, protection systems, and battery storage in modern power systems.
