Data Center Simulation: Innovating Today, Energizing Tomorrow
As data centers continue to reshape the modern power system, ensuring their reliability, efficiency, and resilience has never been more critical. In this session, industry experts will share their perspectives on one of today’s most influential power system topics: data centers. Attendees will explore how advanced real-time simulation and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing are redefining the way data center power systems are designed, tested, and validated. The presentation will highlight practical approaches for mitigating risk, improving performance, and accelerating innovation, revealing how these technologies enable confident decision-making in the development of resilient, high-performance data center infrastructures.
