Preserving a Legacy, Enabling a Future

SimPowerSystems, originally created more than 30 years ago by Hydro-Québec’s Research Institute (IREQ) and later commercialized by The MathWorks, Inc., has become a global standard in power systems and power electronics. OPAL-RT has always been involved with IREQ SPS development team to integrate its ARTEMIS add-on enabling accurate, stable and parallel real-time simulation of complex systems. OPAL-RT enables use of standard multi-core processors and FPGAs to execute SPS models with time steps as low as 100 nanoseconds.

By acquiring the commercialization and development rights of SPS, OPAL-RT TECHNOLOGIES ensures its long-term future and pledges to expand its reach across academia, research, and industry, while honoring its legacy.
