E-Interconnect
Renewable energy system models for every application
The ultimate tool for Automated Model Quality Test (MQT) and Conformity Assessment of Inverter-Based Resources
Ensure your Inverter-Based Resource (IBR) model is interconnection-ready with E-Interconnect, an advanced automation module built in EMTP®. Developed for Generation Owners (GOs), system operators (ISO, TSO), and consultants, E-Interconnect drastically simplifies the complex, time-consuming process of running Model Quality Tests (MQT) and conformity assessments required for grid connection.
The tool fully supports the grid code requirementsor IEEE 2800 and shortens the go-back-and-forth validation process between GOs and system operators by automating hundreds of simulations, analysis steps, and reports.
What E-Interconnect Does
Performs All Required IBR Model Tests Automatically
Run numerical stability checks, flat start validations, time-step sensitivity, dynamic performance evaluation, and multi-instance assessments without manual intervention.
Automates Conformity Testing to Grid Codes
Test your model against Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT), High Voltage Ride Through (HVRT), frequency ride-through, and voltage angle ride-through criteria across all power and control modes.
Processes Results with Intelligent Pass/Fail Logic
Includes waveform plots, signal tracking, numerical analysis, and final reports—generated automatically in Word format.
Compare Results with waveforms coming from other sources such as PSS/E, measurements, etc.
Scalable and Flexible Architecture
- Run simulations sequentially or with parallel processing
- Use open-source config files for full customization
- Add, modify, or remove tests as needed
How It Works
E-Interconnect handles the full MQT and conformity assessment workflow:
- Circuit Setup – Automatically configures EMTP® circuits per grid code and POI conditions.
- IBR Model Setup – Select the IBR model and map its parameters to the ones expected by the tool
- Test selection – define configurations and select the test to perform
- Simulation Execution – Launches hundreds of scenarios using multi-threaded or sequential processing.
- Data Processing – Extracts, analyzes, and interprets critical signals at key simulation points.
- Automated Reporting and report – Outputs detailed results, waveform figures, and conclusions in professional reports.
Key Benefits

The models are completely open allowing users to access and modify their content, which is particularly important for park studies that require the exact replica of the inverter control to be used.
Manufacturer models can be added to this toolbox.
A Time-domain Impedance Scan tool is available and offers a way to efficiently obtain an accurate impedance profile of the inverter-based resource and assess the risk of sub-synchronous control interactions.
The models from the Renewables toolbox are compatible with all simulation types EMTP ® offers, the load-flow, steady-state, time domain and frequency-scan analysis. The load flow results are used to automatically initialize the plant models for time-domain simulation, allowing to perform flat-start.
