Real Time Simulation Workshop 2025

September 25th to 26th 2025

The Real-Time Simulation workshop brings together experts in power engineering to exchange ideas and create collaboration between universities and research institutions. It focuses on real-time simulation, with a particular emphasis on sharing experiences with Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) systems, ongoing research, and practical challenges. As an annual event, it offers a valuable opportunity to reconnect with the community and continue building long-term collaborations in the field.
