RSCAD Insights

What is RSCAD?

RSCAD is a real-time digital simulator used for testing power system protection and control schemes. It allows engineers to simulate complex power system networks in real-time, enabling them to test the performance of protection relays, control systems, and other devices under various operating conditions and fault scenarios before deployment in the field. It's commonly used for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.
