HIL Testbeds
Typhoon HIL offers customized testbeds designed to tackle the complexities of power systems across industries like power engineering, renewable energy, electric vehicles, and wind power. Our solutions are tailored to your specific testing needs, with standardized options available for even the most demanding applications.
While HIL simulators with streamlined interfaces are adequate for most power electronics control software testing applications, highly complex testing scenarios, stringent standards and certifications, and multi-controller interoperability testing require a more comprehensive approach. This is where integrating additional components into a HIL testbed becomes essential.
Typhoon HIL testbeds provide various standard configurations to effectively address these demanding requirements. By enabling precise simulation of real-world conditions, they enhance testing accuracy and mitigate risks associated with hardware deployment. Additionally, HIL testbeds ensure compliance with industry standards and certifications, guaranteeing the reliability and safety of complex control systems.
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.
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.

Discover how our advanced solutions can transform your microgrid projects.
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.
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.
