ARTEMIS(tm) was designed from the ground up to support real-time implementations of power systems simulations. It introduces innovative fixed-step solvers and efficient computational techniques. Simulations can be as much as 15 times faster than those done using the standard fixed-time-step methods.

Unlike SimPowerSystems on its own, ARTEMIS was designed from the ground up to support real-time implementations of power systems simulations, dramatically improving computation speed while preserving accuracy. It is the ONLY way of getting high precision, hard-real-time performance out of SimPowerSystems models. Variable-step accuracy with fixed-step performance It is a fundamental constraint of real-time simulation that the model must use fixed-step integration solvers. In stiff systems like power electrical circuits, the traditional approach is to use a variable step solver for resolving the high-frequency components in the behavior of the system. Because the time to solve at each timestep is non-deterministic, these solvers have to be replaced with fixed-step solvers, which introduce errors into the solution. ARTEMIS introduces innovative fixed-step solvers and efficient computational techniques that dramatically improve the computational performance of SimPowerSystems, to allow you to develop real-time simulations with your power systems models. Because these are deterministic fixed step algorithms, you can create robust, accurate real-time simulations of your power system at significantly higher performance than with SimPowerSystems without ARTEMIS. In fact, it has been shown that simulations can be as much as 15 times faster than those done using the standard fixed-time-step methods, without the inherent errors associated with these solvers. www.opal-rt.com Real-Time Modeling Tools Key Features Designed for Fast Simulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop - Fixed-time-step integration algorithms designed for real-time applications - Compatibility with the Real-Time Workshop (RTW) code generator - Compatibility with RT-LAB for distributed real-time execution on PC clusters Higher precision for linear circuits with high frequency components - Improves the simulation precision - Eliminates the phase-shift error Better accuracy with nonlinear elements - Improves the simulation accuracy of systems with nonlinear elements No numerical oscillations - Uses stable integration methods that are free from numerical oscillations Easy to Install and Use - Drag-and-drop from ARTEMIS Toolbox available in the Simulink library browser - Online documentation Typical Applications In conjunction with Simulink/SimPowerSystems, RTW and RT-LAB, ARTEMIS has been designed for real-time, hardware-in-the-loop, and other fixed-time-step applications in areas including: Electric drives Energy conversion system for hybrid vehicles and for industrial applications Power system design Control system design and testing Electricity generation, transmission, and distribution systems Complete Solutions for Real-Time Simulation, Control Prototyping and HIL Complete Solutions for Real-Time Simulation, Control Prototyping and HIL Testing Testing For more information : Toll Free North America : 1-877-935-2323 Tel : +1-514-935-2323 Fax : +1-514-935-4994 e-mail : info@opal-rt.com www.opal-rt.com ARTEMIS and RT-LAB are trademarks of Opal-RT Technologies, Inc.

More power for less cost The new solvers introduced by the ARTEMIS are proven to be highly accurate and stable over much larger time steps than with the Trapezoidal fixed-time-step algorithms used by Simulink. Users can therefore get the same accuracy with less powerful and lower-cost systems, to give the performance needed for high-fidelity real-time simulation. Optimized solvers for real-time simulation of power electrical circuits Furthermore, ARTEMIS includes special power-circuit- specific algorithms for addressing typical problems encountered when converting your SimPowerSystems model to real-time. For example, for circuits with switches, ARTEMIS calculates all circuit topology matrices prior to running the simulation, and uses circuit-decoupling methods to reduce the size and number of these matrices, so that the computation runs smoothly in real-time, even when a switch changes state. Similarly, strategies to avoid algebraic loops and non-deterministic iterative calculations are included. These allow fixed computation times per step and interruption-free simulation in real-time. Fig. 1. ARTEMIS Operation Modes Create distributed real-time simulations on PC clusters with RT-LAB ARTEMIS integrates fully into the Simulink environment in the form of a Simulink blockset, and is fully compatible with Real-Time Workshop (RTW) for real-time execution, or for simply accelerating the model. ARTEMIS optimizes RT-LAB, allowing you to automatically convert your SimPowerSystems schematics into real-time simulations. This allows the distribution of a large, complex power systems model over several processors; in order to get the computational power required to achieve high-performance, real-time execution on low-cost, off-the-shelf PCs and non-proprietary hardware. Example Comparing Fixed-Step-Size Simulation Results with and without ARTEMIS Solvers To illustrate the advantages of the ARTEMIS solvers, simulation results are shown for a controlled thyristor-rectifier loaded by an equivalent of a DC motor, shown in Figure 2. Fig 2. System Diagram (Shown above) This model is similar to the demonstration model psbconvert- er.mdl supplied with the SimPowerSystems Toolbox (in the pow- erdemo directory). Fig 3. Response without ARTEMIS Shows that fixed-time-step simulation without the ARTEMIS solvers (using the default TUSTIN method) gives very poor results. Fig 4. Response with ARTEMIS Shows that with ARTEMIS, fixed-time-step simulation gives almost identical results to the reference curve calculated using Simulink's variable-time-step option.
