Blackbox RTS provides innovative real-time simulation technology for testing excitation control systems.

Our simulator replaces traditional control system testing methods by emulating machine behaviour in real-time, eliminating the need for physically rotating equipment. This allows for comprehensive testing of AVR/PSS models, excitation systems, and secondary control loops without the risks and scheduling complexities of traditional testing methods. For example, AVR model validation can be completed during a turbine outage, rather than being rushed when the turbine is returned to service.

The system enables safe simulation of network faults and testing at operating points that could risk equipment damage, while providing a portable, user-friendly interface for engineers. Perfect for validating models and control systems, our simulator streamlines the testing process while improving safety and reducing operational dependencies.
