Smart Microgrid Virtual Simulation Software

What is rapsim - microgrid simulator?

Download RAPSim - Microgrid Simulator for free. An easy to use GUI enables electric source and grid simulation. RAPSim (Renewable Alternative Powersystems Simulation) is a free and open source micro-grid simulation framework for better understanding of power flowing behavior in smart microgrids with renewable sources.

What is a simplified microgrid design interface?

The simplified interface removes the complexities of microgrid design and guides users through the design process with built-in checklists and tools to allow rapid and seamless collaboration between customers, developers, financiers, and regulators, regardless of prior experience with microgrids.

Which microgrid software should I Choose?

If price is your main concern, especially if you are just starting out with microgrid services, NREL’s SAM and REopt, and EPRI’s DER-VET are free and open-source software with the confidence of NREL’s expertise behind them.

How do I start modeling microgrids?

Finally, if you are most interested in the easiest way to start modeling microgrids, REopt is your go-to. The free programs may require some back-end programming to accurately model everything that HOMER and XENDEE come pre-programmed to handle, but the user interface for REopt is the most intuitive of all the platforms.

What is advanced microgrid management control?

ETAP’s Advanced Microgrid Management Control considers and responds to multiple contingencies simultaneously to preserve critical loads. Evaluate energy-reducing strategies such as moving on-peak usage to off-peak periods or shifting from one rate schedule to another to improve the bottom line.

Are microgrids the future of renewables?

Microgrids are an up-and-coming technology, and more advanced training in microgrid modeling and design could help prepare your team for the future of renewables.
