Data center power systems are becoming increasingly interconnected. Grid interaction, protection, energy management, backup power, dynamic loads, and power conversion all need to work together reliably before deployment.

On **September 10, from 11:00 AM–12:00 PM ET** , join OPAL-RT and GridStor for a technical webinar exploring how **HIL and PHIL testing can help validate the data center gray space and identify critical integration risks before deployment**.

You’ll hear from:

- **Varun Bhombore** , Sr. Manager, Commissioning & Controls at GridStor, bringing an industry perspective from utility-scale BESS, controls, grid integration, and commissioning
- **François Berthelot** , Head of Division – Energy – North America at OPAL-RT
- **Lyes Ait-Oubelli** , Electrical Modeling and Simulation Analyst at OPAL-RT, who will lead a practical **HYPERSIM demonstration**

The session will look at practical validation workflows across grid compliance, protection, energy management, UPS and backup power, dynamic AI/GPU loads, and coordinated control strategies.

**Have a data center validation challenge you’d like the speakers to address?**  
Drop your question in the comments before the webinar and we may bring it into the live Q&A.
