A revolution in real time, NovaCor is the world’s fastest and most capable real time power system simulator.
Simulation Capabilities
Each rack-mounted NovaCor chassis features IBM’s state of the art POWER8TM processor, containing 10 powerful cores running at 3.5 GHz. This powerful multicore processor makes NovaCor faster and more capable than the RTDS Simulator’s previous processing hardware.
POWERFUL
Each NovaCor chassis has 2-3 times the simulation capacity of a fully loaded PB5-based rack. Hundreds of nodes are solved on a single core.
PRECISE
NovaCor provides higher precision simulations with timesteps reduced by up to 50%.
SCALABLE
NovaCor allows scalable access through the licensing of 1 to 10 cores per chassis. Overall system expansion and full connectivity of up to 60 chassis is supported.
ACCESSIBLE
NovaCor allows an entire power system simulation to be run on a single core.
