                                                                  Simplify and Validate DC Fast Charging Interoperability with HIL

                                                                  Reliable high-power charging is vital to providing support for wider adoption of battery electric vehicles (EVs), both in the passenger and commercial segments.

                                                                  Standardized communication protocols like IEC 61851 and ISO 15118 are the critical components in this effort. They provide a way to interact between an external DC charger and EV in order to optimize charging speed, safety, and convenience, in addition to other services for ensuring interoperability between vehicles and chargers coming from diverse vendors. In order to meet the market needs, these protocols are evolving at a rapid rate which poses a challenge for both car and charger vendors, resulting in the need for more advanced tools and methods for compliance and interoperability testing.

                                                                  Join our panel of experts from Fraunhofer ISE and Typhoon HIL for a discussion about how model-based engineering tools are being utilized to empower agile control development and testing. See first-hand how electric vehicles supply equipment (EVSE) is tested using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL).

                                                                  December 8, 2022

                                                                  Accelerate xEV Motor Drive ECU Development and Testing with HIL

                                                                  As the rising global demand and adoption for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to accelerate, companies are facing increased pressures to bring efficient, high performing, low-cost, easy to manufacture, and reliable powertrains to market.

                                                                  To meet shorter development times amidst an increasing number of projects, and with limited team resources available, manufacturers are being forced to rely on more design and testing with model-based engineering tools in a virtual domain.  Paired with the motor drives complexity which continues to increase, avoiding unexpected and costly challenges that can occur during physical prototype development becomes a concern. Thus, easy-to-use, and easy to deploy controller hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and validation is imperative. 

                                                                  Join our panel of experts from Infineon Technologies, Infinitum, and Typhoon HIL for a discussion about streamlined solution-based approaches for designing, testing, verifying, and validating electric vehicle motor drives control systems.

                                                                  The increasing number of distributed energy resources (DERs) across the electrical grid has been driving the protection and control complexity to levels not seen before. The resulting microgrids require appropriate management solutions to optimize and guarantee performance of the individual DERs and of the microgrid as a whole. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation has been proved essential for a comprehensive test and development of protocol communication, cybersecurity and optimization algorithms of such microgrid management solutions.

                                                                  On this webinar, the AES Brazil and CERTI Foundation present their developments on a microgrid controller design and discuss how HIL testing has accelerated their project.

                                                                  Today’s microgrid control solutions are faced with the challenge of controlling an ever-increasing number of DERs which individual actions needs to be tightly harmonized in order to achieve the desired operational goals and ensure stable system operation under all conditions. At the same time, such solutions should be easy to configure and commission. HIL validation platform able to provide detailed DER models and realistic fieldbus interfaces at a large-scale can play an important role in rapid deployment of such control solutions.

                                                                  Driven by the ever-increasing need for higher power and better efficiency, eMobility power electronics applications continue to grow in complexity and size. Effective HIL validation of the complex control code behind the employed control schemes calls for flexible high fidelity plant models. They need to provide detailed component models combined with very high time resolution and often at a large scale.

                                                                  February 25, 2021

                                                                  The two most challenging Hardware in the Loop (HIL) testing applications in the Electric Vehicle (EV) domain are motor drives and battery chargers. Developing and testing control software for these power converters are challenging due to: high switching frequency, new wide-bandgap semiconductors, highly nonlinear motors, new topologies, and their safety critical role.

                                                                  To enable comprehensive HIL testing of EV power electronics controllers under all the operating conditions, including faults, it is necessary to use high-fidelity plant models able to capture all the relevant real-world phenomena. These include semiconductor power losses (including switching and conduction losses), on-state voltage drops and switching delays, heat-sink thermal models, motor nonlinearities including spatial harmonics, inter-winding short circuits etc.

                                                                  December 3, 2020
