The ARTEMiS Blockset is a performance-enhancing add-on to the Simscape Electrical Specialized Power Systems (SPS) Blockset that extends its capability for real-time simulation.

ARTEMiS has the following characteristics:

• Deterministically-bound fixed time step integration method suitable for real-time simulation

• Non-iterative execution appropriate for hardware-in-the-loop simulation

• High execution speed suitable for large-scale simulation

• Support for parallel processing suitable for distributed simulation in RT-LAB and eMEGAsim

• Superior numerical stability through the use of L-stable discretization methods

• Interpolation capability for increased precision in switched network

• State-Space Nodal (SSN) solver for real-time simulation without any limitation on the number of switches

Some SSN features:

• Can handle models with hundreds of switches in real-time

• Interpolation capability for Thyristors and IGBTs

• SSN enables parallelization of the nodal equations without delays in the solution

• SSN enables the user to incorporate their own models directly into the nodal solver without any delay in the solution

• SSN iteration capability on MOVs and Single Switches (new 2015)

• SSN benchmarked for 750 EMTP nodes distribution grid at 52µs on Xeon-v3 20 cores PCs (new 2015)

TSB-RD (with real-diode in rectification mode) for nanosecond accuracy in simulation of 2-level, 3-level NPC and 3-level T-type inverters (new 2018)

• Support parallelization (2-level)

• Snubber selection made more easy because of real-diode in rectification mode

• Equivalent nanosecond interpolation accuracy with RT-Events modulation or Digital Input with Time Stamping
