Jean Bélanger, Amine Yamane, Abstract
Real-time simulation requires the use of fixed step integration methods, capable of achieving accuracy with a time step range larger than 10 μs to 100 μs, to enable the use of standard processors and IO systems. Simulation accuracy increases when the time step value decrease but the processing power and number of processors increase when the time step decreases. The choice of integration techniques is also important. Simulation specialists must therefore select the best integration technique and time step that will yield to acceptable results. This document provides a comparison between simulation results obtained by using a classical 2nd order Tustin integration solver (also known as the Trapezoidal method) and the ARTEMIS 5th Order integration Method). The TUSTIN 2nd order method uses two terms of the Taylor series of the exponential function, while ARTEMIS 5th order uses five terms. Tustin is used by conventional electrical simulation software using the nodal technique such as PSCAD and EMTP while SimPowerSystems and eMEGAsim use ARTEMIS 5th order method in addition to the TUSTIN method.

Jean Bélanger, Christian Dufour, Cacilda Andrade, Abstract
This paper discusses industrial applications of
real time simulation technologies and opportunities that
exist to include them in modern engineering education
curricula. Real-time simulators are used extensively in
many engineering fields. As a consequence, the inclusion of
simulation applications in academic curricula can provide
great value to the student. Statistical power grid protection
tests, aircraft design and simulation, motor drive controller
design methods and space robot integration are a few
examples of real-time simulator technology applications to
be discussed in this paper.

This paper describes a versatile, multi-domain,
large power grid real-time digital simulator. Its ability to
conduct multiple tests for protection coordination studies is
described. A large grid model built using the EMTP-RV
software and simulated in real-time using the eMEGAsim
platform’s EMTP-RT software tool is described. A discussion
and comparisons on the different solvers offered with both
simulation environments are made. Comparisons between offline
and Real-Time simulations are made using superimposed
fault condition waveforms. Finally, multiple random tests are
performed on the featured power system model and analyzed
using the eMEGAsim simulator’s software package.

This paper describes a versatile, multi-domain, real-time digital simulator of large power grids. Its capability to
conduct multiple tests for protection coordination studies is described. A large grid model built using the EMTP-RV software
and simulated in real-time using the eMEGAsim real-time digital simulator and EMTP-RT software tool is described.
Comparisons between off-line and real-time simulations with different solvers are made using superimposed steady-state and
fault condition waveforms. A multiple random tests application for protection coordination studies using eMEGAsim simulator’s
built-in software TestDrive GUI and Python API scripting tool is described. The paper concludes with a discussion on the off-line,
real-time and acceleration modes of simulation of the PC-based eMEGAsim simulator and its advantages for studies of modern
power systems.

Wei Li, Jean-Nicolas Paquin, Jean Bélanger, Abstract
This document provides users with benchmark models to evaluate the OPAL-RT Technologies system configuration needed to develop research models for the following three HVDC transmission systems:
• Bipolar HVDC model,
• Monopolar back-to-back HVDC system based on the First CIGRE benchmark for HVDC control studies [1], and
• Multi-Terminal HVDC System.
The controllers and protections implemented in these models are described. Simulation results with additional comments are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of these models.
The studied systems are modeled in an environment that integrates Simulink/SimPowerSystems (SPS) with the eMEGAsim simulation platform, which incorporates the ARTEMiS software for solving of the real-time simulated model and the RTeDrive and RT-Events blocksets. This platform enables the simulation of increasingly large systems with real-time performance across multiple CPUs.
Through the use of the TestDrive graphical user interface platform from OPAL-RT Technologies, it is also demonstrated that observing results and modifying parameters and conditions on a real-time simulated model is both easy and user friendly.
