Grid & Storage

The bulk power transmission network (the electricity grid) will move the power long distances, sometimes across international boundaries, until it reaches its wholesale customer.

On arrival at a substation, the power will be stepped down from a transmission level voltage to a distribution level voltage. As it exits the substation, it enters the distribution wiring. Finally, upon arrival at the service location, the power is stepped down again from the distribution voltage to the required service voltage(s).

Although energy is transported it might also be stored until needed in the grid.

GRIDSim Application Software

GRIDSim Application Software is a universal tool for the ambitious engineer for the setup of TC.ACS Grid Simulators. The software not only allows for setting of unique or repetitive grid events, but rather programming of entire event sequences or even running of international agreed test patterns are on disposition. GRIDSim software covers all imaginable application needs of the R+D or test engineer. Even automated test runs or predefined grid patterns are within a few clicks of your fingers. Due to a finely matched task sharing between the resident GRIDSim firmware and the PC-based Application Software, all time-critical operations run on-board in a real-time mode.

Battery Testing Software

The optional simulation model of batteries is an additional software component option of the application Energy Storage Simulation and Battery Testing Software.
