EdgeTunePower joined the RTDS Webinar Series to showcase a live Power Management System (PMS) demo, highlighting how real-time simulation enhances data center resilience, autonomous control, and grid flexibility.
Overview
EdgeTunePower participated in the RTDS Technologies Webinar Series on Data Center Power Management and Real-Time Simulation.This session highlighted the joint work between RTDS Technologies, BCIT, and EdgeTunePower, focusing on how real-time digital simulation supports the validation of advanced Power Management System (PMS) control strategies for large-scale data center operations.
The discussion showcased how digital-twin environments and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems can test PMS performance under grid-connected, islanded, and restoration modes — providing a powerful framework for evaluating resilience and control reliability.
Highlights of the Demonstration
To complement the technical discussion, EdgeTunePower delivered a live real-time PMS demonstration within the webinar.The demo featured an operational PMS managing distributed assets — including renewables, battery energy storage, and data center loads — integrated into a simulated grid through RTDS. Viewers observed how the controller responded to grid events, frequency fluctuations, and islanding conditions in real time.
Key features of the demo included:
Real-time communication between PMS, IEDs, and SCADA systems.
Dynamic frequency and voltage control through autonomous logic.
Seamless transitions between grid-forming and grid-following modes.
Restoration scenarios mirroring realistic data-center operation sequences.
Key Takeaways
This collaborative webinar demonstrated how real-time simulation enables verification of control logic before deployment, minimizing commissioning risks for mission-critical infrastructure.It underscored that autonomous PMS validation in HIL environments is essential to ensuring both operational resilience and grid flexibility for modern data centers.
As data-center demand continues to accelerate, integrating PMS with real-time digital-twin testing will be key to developing flexible, stable, and future-ready energy systems.
