HYPERSIM is a digital real-time power system simulator developed by OPAL-RT and Hydro Quebec.

HYPERSIM is a top-performance, fully digital simulator designed for in depth analysis of transient electromagnetic and electromechanical phenomena. It is used to analyze and validate power system control and protection circuits. HYPERSIM runs on SGI parallel supercomputers.

Interfacing VILLASnode and HYPERSIM

These instructions have been tested with HYPERSIM R6.1.3.o698.

  1. Create a new UCM name “node” and save to the real-time simulator folder of HYPERSIM. Example: C:\Users\auser\HYPERSIM\ucm.

  2. This will create a file name ucm_node.def
  3. Open the file in editor and copy paste the downloaded code from the VILLASnode Git repositoryVILLASnode/clients/hypersim/model/ucm_node.def
  4. Right click and update the code.
