“The Typhoon HIL Simulation hardware, software, and tools are extremely valuable for IHI Terrasun Solutions (IHI Terrasun) as they provide a means to quickly, safely, and cost effectively test Energy Storage Devices and Energy Storage Systems (ESS). IHI Terrasun can safely simulate failure cases on a Typhoon HIL System that would normally cause serious equipment damage on a real system and unsafe conditions for personnel. In using a Typhoon HIL Simulation System, IHI Terrasun can ensure through simulation and testing that our controls take the proper safety actions, log all of the data around the event, and report the situation to the appropriate people and entities.”
