Grid Modernization Solutions

Why Grid Simulation and Emulation Matter

The energy landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by surging power demand, the need to upgrade grid infrastructure, integration of distributed energy resources (DER), and compliance requirements with diverse regional and international standards. Grid simulation and grid emulation are critical for ensuring interoperability, safety, and resilience from design to deployment.

Accelerating Grid Modernization with Keysight

Keysight accelerates grid modernization from concept to connection by providing integrated, standards-compliant grid simulation and emulation test solutions. These tools enable utilities, OEMs, and energy stakeholders to modernize the grid without compromise.

Design Validation: Grid Compliance Testing and Cybersecurity

Achieve grid code compliance and cybersecurity readiness for inverter-based resources (IBR) and DER with Keysight’s design and validation solutions. For example, our PHIL-based automated anti-islanding test solution validates DERs with PHIL grid simulation for fast, repeatable grid compliance testing. Features include automated anti-islanding testing aligned with IEEE 1547.1-2020 / UL 1741 SB standards, patent-pending resonant RLC autotuning, and PHIL-based real-time simulation.

Optimizing DER and IBR Testing Efficiency

Use regenerative DC power supplies to validate grid-connected battery energy storage systems (BESS) by emulating grid-edge load conditions, capturing grid events, and proving inverter controls over long durations.

Troubleshooting for Reliability

Capture and analyze fast, transient electrical signals with high accuracy to validate stability, protection, and power quality under dynamic grid conditions. Using advanced oscilloscopes and probes helps diagnose voltage and current anomalies, ensuring robust DER and IBR designs.

Integration and Deployment: Real-World Grid Emulation

Keysight’s proven design and emulation solutions combine high-power testing, controls validation, and communications protocols testing under real-world conditions. Explore solutions for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration, photovoltaic array simulation, and BESS profiling to ensure interoperability and scalability.
