This paper describes the development of a hardware-in-the-loop Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS enabled power system test bed used to support various types of research. Lack of access to actual utility synchrophasors data at the university level hinders studies on various subjects of interest including power system event detection, situational awareness, wide area monitoring and control, and cyber security. This paper explains a way to facilitate the researcher with reliable synchrophasors data and power system test bed for different application such as event detection, cyber security resiliency study and state based intrusion detection. Various power system events and scenarios are modeled and simulation results are presented.
