1. HYPERSIM is a real-time power system simulator developed through a collaboration between IREQ, RTE, China State Grid, and OPAL-RT to model power systems and power electronics from nanoseconds to milliseconds. 2. It is designed for power system engineers to simulate large EMT models in parallel on supercomputers, and integrate with other simulators like ePHASORsim and eMEGAsim. 3. HYPERSIM includes modeling, visualization, automation, and reporting tools and can interface with hardware in the loop controllers for applications like large scale wind power integration studies.

Challenges in 1980
Modern and SMART transmission systems
rely on control and protection systems
For performance, security and economical reasons
• Fast machine AVR and PSS
• SVC and FACTS
• HVDC transmission and interconnections
• Fast local protection and autaumatic systems
• wide area special control and protection (SPS)
