VILLASnode
This is VILLASnode, a gateway for processing and forwardning simulation data between real-time simulators. VILLASnode is a client/server application to connect simulation equipment and software such as:
- OPAL-RT RT-LAB,
- RTDS GTFPGA cards,
- RTDS GTWIF cards,
- Simulink,
- LabView,
- and FPGA models
by using protcols such as:
- IEEE 802.2 Ethernet / IP / UDP,
- ZeroMQ & nanomsg,
- MQTT & AMQP
- WebSockets
- Shared Memory
- Files
- IEC 61850 Sampled Values / GOOSE
- Analog/Digital IO via Comedi drivers
- Infiniband (ibverbs)
It's designed with a focus on very low latency to achieve real-time exchange of simulation data. VILLASnode is used in distributed- and co-simulation scenarios and developed for the field of power grid simulation at the EON Energy Research Center in Aachen, Germany.
