EPC Power PDCAB
HIL Compatible®
Advancing power conversion testing with
high-fidelity real-time simulation.
Integrated HIL Compatible® Technology for EPC
The EPC PDCAB HIL Compatible® device, developed in collaboration between EPC Power and Typhoon HIL, provides high-fidelity C-HIL simulation of PD500 and CAB1000 (2 and 3 level) inverters. It includes the actual EPC controller that seamlessly interfaces with the real-time simulator and model. This device allows safe validation of parameters and firmware versions deployed in the field. Communication with the EPC HIL Compatible device is supported via CAN and Modbus protocols, enabling users to interact with the controller in the same way as in real installations.
EPC HIL Compatible® meets your testing and pre-certification needs while helping overcome project challenges by:
- Enabling High-Fidelity Performance Validation: Validate the functionality and performance in real-time conditions before system integration.
- Ensuring safe deployment: Safely test rare, complex, and high-risk scenarios that are impractical or unsafe to reproduce with physical hardware.
- Continuous testing throughout the product lifetime: Have a consistent and unified testing approach for each new firmware update or parameter set.
