Residential energy systems are evolving. As homeowners seek greater energy independence and a reduced reliance on traditional power grids, the integration of renewables and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) is gaining traction. By seamlessly incorporating renewable energy sources and advanced components like battery energy storage systems (BESS), homeowners can not only reduce their carbon footprint and save on electricity bills but also take control by producing their own clean energy.
Given the surge in consumer demand, it’s crucial for providers of these energy solutions ā from solar and battery inverters to electric vehicle chargers and smart home devices ā to prioritize safety and reliability. Before introducing their innovations to households, they must rigorously address potential risks and ensure they meet the highest standards of risk mitigation.
Typhoon HIL offers a streamlined approach to HIL testing, allowing for precise validation of complex energy components and integrated systems in a virtual environment. By leveraging our vertically integrated hardware and software, you can test against events like overvoltage, overcurrent, or short circuits. This ensures that your products and systems are safe and responsive, delivering peace of mind before they reach consumers.
Our HIL devices help you:
- Comprehensively test and validate before deploying physical hardware, minimizing the risk of expensive failures or design flaws
- Ensure compatibility with diverse products which include various types of solar inverters and systems
- Verify battery management system (BMS) operation for numerous battery chemistries
- Improve test coverage and speed, decreasing your time to marketĀ
- Assess and validate safety features, fault handling, and protection mechanisms
- Certify compliance with relevant safety and environmental regulations
Secure the future of residential energy with thorough and reliable HIL testing ā partner with Typhoon HIL today to build a sustainable tomorrow. Ā
Residential Energy Package
The Residential Energy Package from Typhoon HIL is designed to model and simulate the dynamic needs of modern homes, which are increasingly functioning as microgrids. This library provides an extensive suite of components tailored to residential applications, including the integration of renewable energy sources, battery storage systems, and smart appliances. Whether you are developing solar inverters, battery management systems, or electric vehicle chargers, this package will help you thoroughly test and validate your designs before deployment.
Key Features:
- Comprehensive Component Library: Simulate single-phase and split-phase systems, renewable energy sources, loads, protection devices, and more.
- Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS): Test various BESS configurations and battery chemistries like lithium-ion, lead-acid, and nickel-cadmium.
- Power Quality Analysis: Model appliances powered by switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) to analyze harmonic distortion, inrush current, and power factor correction.
- Realistic Grid Simulations: Assess system performance under grid-forming, PQ, and grid-tied modes with customizable parameters.
This package streamlines Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, providing a powerful virtual environment to test your systems against common risks like overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuits. With the Residential Energy Package, you can be sure that your energy solutions meet the highest standards of reliability and safety before they are installed in consumer homes.
Building a Better Microgrid
Testing and pre-certification is where implementing Typhoon HIL’s Controller Hardware-in-the-Loop (C-HIL) test solutions helped us the most: we dramatically decreased our development and testing time through test automation and the wide array of tested scenarios enabled us to always step into certification with full confidence.
