Electrical Drives

Converters coupled with high-fidelity electrical machine models for high performance motor drive applications.

Converters and Machines are the core of Typhoon HIL's electrical components libraries. Capture real-time power loss values for converters. You can even simulate FEM-derived nonlinear and spatially varying inductance machine models with no delay.

This section shows hardware-in-the-loop application examples of drive controllers in both popular prototyping platforms and off-the-shelf industry controllers.
