Abstract

Real-time simulation of electrical circuits enables engineers to evaluate circuit behavior under operational conditions without the need for physical prototypes. This technique is crucial for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, power system stability analysis, and rapid prototyping of complex circuits. This paper explores the methodologies, hardware platforms, and challenges associated with real-time simulation. Strategies for achieving high-speed computation, low-latency performance, and integration with physical systems are discussed. Indian contributions from small and mid-sized institutions are highlighted. Tables and 2D figures illustrate system architectures, HIL setups, and real-time simulation workflows.
