CURENT LTB

The CURENT Large Scale Testbed (LTB), is the first of its kind to provide a virtual electric power grid for researchers to experiment with closed-loop controls and algorithms. Research and application ideas can be quickly and seamlessly integrated for verification in this virtual power system.

LTB includes four core packages, ANDES, AMS (currently in development), AGVis, and DiME. These packages provide dynamic simulation, market simulation, geo-visualization, and data messaging environment, respectively. These packages can be used independently for specific research purposes or in combination for closed-loop studies. To streamline the process for federal use, we also provide a repository LTB that includes all four packages as submodules.

LTB has been selected as a recipient of the 2020 R&D 100 Awards, which are known as the most prestigious innovation awards program for the past 56 years.
