Incremental Systems Corporation (IncSys) is providing training with real-time simulations so that operators, engineers, and students will learn to prevent major power system events. With the PowerSimulator, IncSys has the ability to run massive drills with hundreds of operators using web-enabled simulations of complete interconnections. These simulations will include Smart Grid technologies such as wind farms, solar farms, demand side management, smart micro-grids, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. The program will also simulate cascading outages. PowerSimulator training is conducted by a team of software developers, model development technicians, power system engineers, trainers and operator trainees. The training demonstrates how new Smart Grid systems, people, and processes can all work together to benefit system reliability and reduce restoration times.
