HIL Testbeds

Typhoon HIL testbeds are tailored solutions for testing complex power systems across industries like renewable energy, electric vehicles, and wind power.

Flexible Solutions with DUT Specific Customization

While our HIL simulators cover most control software testing needs, more complex scenarios—such as multi-controller setups, stringent certification requirements, and interoperability testing—demand a comprehensive testbed approach.

Typhoon HIL testbeds offer standard configurations to meet these challenges, enabling precise real-world simulation, reducing deployment risks, and ensuring compliance with industry standards for safety and reliability.

Signal HIL level testing according to ISO26262

e-Drive HIL Testbed

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) devices play a crucial role in achieving ISO 26262 requirements by providing a controlled environment for testing and validating safety-critical systems. For ASIL-D level components, such as the e-Drive Unit, additional recommendations for testing include fault insertion and similar tests. The e-Drive HIL Testbed is Typhoon’s solution for a fully integrated test system tailored to all aspects of ISO 26262 validation requirements.

Scalable BMS Testing Solutions from a single provider

BMS HIL Testbed

One of the major challenges in the electrification of transportation and commercial vehicles is the performance of batteries and Battery Management Systems (BMS). Validating the BMS, which monitors and controls the operation of the battery in electrified vehicles, is a demanding and potentially dangerous task. Providing cell emulators with high-precision battery cell emulation and all the necessary ancillary signals and values is essential. Typhoon’s standardized 60V, 400V, and 800V BMS HIL Testbeds offer robust and reliable platforms for safe BMS validation.

Revolutionizing Advanced Relay Power Testing with Precision

Digital Substation HIL Testbed

Digital substations are becoming increasingly common in the power industry, offering numerous advantages over traditional substations. However, they are also more complex and can be more challenging to test.

Our solution is a hardware and software setup designed to use a model-based approach to test and verify the control and protective algorithms of modern digital substations based on the IEC 61850 communication protocol. The main objective is to develop and provide a fully sustainable solution that will revolutionize substation testing in power systems.

Drive System Validation. Redefined.

DriveLab ACS880 HIL Testbed

Co-developed by ABB and Typhoon HIL, DriveLab ACS880 HIL Compatible integrates advanced digital twin and HIL technology to transform drive system testing—enabling faster, safer, and more reliable development of high-performance drives.

Increasing confidence with HIL testing

Utilities have built microgrids without HIL, made technology decisions blindly without understanding full system dynamics. HIL would have provided value and helped with understanding the use cases and impact from a protection control perspective.
