Modeling $ Testing

Modeling plays a crucial role in analyzing dynamic stability and enhancing performance. Regrettably, many manufacturers guard their models as prized intellectual property, leaving little in the way of detailed insights. Our team specializes in developing advanced MATLAB and PSCAD models that specifically meet the rigorous requirements set by grid operators. 

Data Colection & Analysis

In the ever-evolving landscape of renewable energy, innovation is key. Our team pioneers new solutions and technologies to drive the future of sustainable energy. Let’s shape a greener tomorrow together. We collect real data and produce synthetic data from developed models for optimization and training.

Optimization

We provide innovative solutions utilizing cutting-edge technologies to enhance renewable energy systems and optimize performance. Our team combines expertise in AI, modeling, and optimization to drive sustainable energy solutions for the future. 

AI $ Digital Twin

Utilizing the developed models to produce synthetic data, collected real data, and optimization results, we train deep networks. Based on the type of data and its attributes, we exploit and train CNN, GANs, and LSTM deep networks for intelligent decision-making. The virtual models, deep networks, and physical model/real data are synchronized to create a digital twin of the system. 

Distributed Generation

Renewable energy resources, micro-sources and battery energy storage systems are connected to the (micro) grids via power electronics interfaces so-called inverters.

Microgrid stability 

The integration of power electronic-based renewable energy resources and distributed generation units into traditional power systems has significantly reshaped modern power grids. As the combination of power systems, power electronics technologies, and smart grid infrastructures becomes more prevalent, the microgrid concept has emerged as a key solution to address resilience challenges by enabling autonomous operation.

However, stabilizing an autonomous microgrid presents a complex challenge due to the dominance of inverter-interfaced generation units and intricate power flows. Achieving stability in such systems requires advanced control strategies and robust modeling techniques to effectively manage the dynamic behavior of inverter-based resources under varying operational conditions.

Sub-Consultancy

Intelligent inverter stability analysis tool to expedite grid-connection issues 

Grid-connected inverters operate in various modes, including grid-feeding, grid-forming, and grid-supporting modes. They must also function under a range of conditions, such as weak grid scenarios with high impedance, low X/R ratios, and during low voltage or fault conditions. Consultant firms typically use PSCAD/PSSE models—often provided by manufacturers—to conduct R0, R1, and R2 tests for verification results. However, this process can be slow, especially when manufacturers provide encrypted models that complicate testing. Extensive communication with manufacturers and grid operators is often required, but the outcomes are not always promising.

At MAI OptiTek, we offer AI-assisted solutions powered by digital twin technology to expedite inverter testing and simulation. Our intelligent inverter stability analysis tool helps streamline verification processes and provides clear, actionable insights under various operating conditions, reducing time and effort typically spent on these tasks. Let us help you navigate these complexities and speed up the process to achieve successful grid connections.
