Real-time protection simulation and testing

Why real-time protection testing?

Protection and control devices play a key role in safeguarding the availability of power grids. PTI Consulting offers hardware-in-the-loop tests to test protection and control hardware using digital simulation of power system in real-time (RTDS).

Customers benefit from increased confidence and reliability in protection scheme design, protection devices themselves and their implementation and operation in real time within digitally simulated complex electrical power systems. This helps customers to improve the reliability and availability of their power systems.

PTI Consulting services are part of the curated and modular Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, enabling customers to accelerate their digital transformation easier, faster and at scale.
