The CURENT Large-scale Testbed (LTB) is a state-of-the-art research facility designed for rapid prototyping of power systems. It is a tightly integrated, closed-loop system consisting of four major independent sub-packages: ANDES for dynamic simulation, AMS (under development) for market simulation, DiME for distributed messaging environment, and AGVis for grid visualization. These LTB packages can be used individually or in a federated manner, making it a versatile tool for power system research and development.
