AGILe Vision and ValuePerforms specialized grid studies with powerful modeling and simulation tools to effectively integrate large-scale and distributed renewable resources
Offers both leading real-time grid simulation systems (RTDS and OPAL-RT) for realistic hardware- and software-in-the loop testing and demonstration of equipment prior to field deployment
Uses actual data and models to provide realistic and flexible test beds to accelerate development, adoption, and commercialization of new technologies at both transmission and distribution levels or within microgrids
Presents both an industry and academic collaborative environment to leverage technical capabilities and expertise from diverse participants
Offers “one-stop shopping” for external entities with participation from all NY TOs for accelerated research, development, and deployment opportunities in New York
