Powertech launches TPI
May 2019 – Powertech is proud to announce the release of the TPI module (TSAT-PSCADTM Interface) that enables synchronized hybrid simulations using TSAT (to capture electromechanical transients) and PSCADTM (to capture electromagnetic transients). With TPI, a large scale power grid model can be split into multiple sub-systems, and each sub-system will be simulated by TSAT or PSCAD in parallel. Such hybrid simulation helps reducing cost, effort, and time needed to set up and run the dynamic simulations of large power grid, while taking advantage of rich modeling libraries available in TSAT and PSCADTM.
