SPS began at the Hydro-Québec Research Institute (IREQ) and was distributed globally for more than two decades. As OPAL-RT brings SPS into a new growth cycle, we align its strengths with our real-time platforms—so teams can design offline and validate in real hardware-in-the-loop, using one coherent workflow.
Why it matters: A single trajectory from modeling → real-time/HIL unlocks faster innovation in renewables, grids, electrified mobility, and aerospace.

SPS is a block-library environment for modeling generation, conversion, transmission, and consumption—built for transparent control of switching events, EMT fidelity, and deep R&D or education. In OPAL-RT’s ecosystem, SPS models flow naturally toward real-time validation with ARTEMiS and FPGA acceleration via eHS.

We invest in an open, global SPS community with forums, webinars, and an education program (LMS, tutorials, and local seminars). Every license can tap structured learning and real-world examples to accelerate mastery.
