Summary on Grant Application Form |

The Virtual Test Bed is a computational environment for virtual prototyping of multi-disciplinary dynamic systems, with emphasis on power electronics an advanced power systems. A graphical user interface enables one to define a system, compute its dynamic performance and to view that performance. The VTB stands apart from other virtual prototyping or simulation environments, allowing the system integrator to collect component models from a variety of sources in various formats. It also enables distributed simulation of the system over a network of low cost computers. Finally, the simulation output is tightly tied to the visualisation system, allowing on-the-fly system changes, which help to infuse into the user's mind a clear understanding of the system response.The VTB has been developed (and continues to be developed) under funding from the US Office of Naval Research. It is a large collaborative effort, involving people at eight universities, worldwide. It is timely as the Royal Navy and US Navy move to smart procurement for their future Frigates and Aircraft Carriers. This project aims to introduce the VTB to the UK community and benchmark the software against hardware, much of which is built in the UK.
