Dual Active Bridge Modeling and Performance in Typhoon HIL
Electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is seen as a main challenge for the mass adoption of electric vehicles. In that context, HIL testing for power electronics offers a large opportunity for fast development of EV chargers.
The Dual Active Bridge (DAB) converter is one of the most used topologies in EV chargers. Due to its high switching frequencies, this converter presents a significant challenge for real-time simulation. This white paper provides detailed information on how a DAB converter operating at high switching frequencies can be simulated using Typhoon HIL, including the benchmark simulation data obtained by use of a realistic external controller.
Danfoss Drives Digital Report
According to Kim Fausing, Danfoss President and CEO of Danfoss Group, âA third of the reduction needed in energy-related CO2 emissions this decade according to the IEA Net Zero by 2050 scenario must come from improvements in energy efficiency. The good news is that the solutions are there to improve energy efficiency in all sectors. We donât need to wait. We need action because the greenest energy is the energy we donât use.â
This is where the key partnership between Danfoss Drives and Typhoon HIL comes into play. Energy efficiency can be greatly improved through Typhoon HIL’s Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) power electronics control testing solutions applied for product design, development, testing, and validation. Learn more about this collaboration through in this digital report that has been featured in Sustainability, Manufacturing Digital, and Energy Digital Magazines.
HIL Addresses Microgrid System Integration Challenges
As the electric power grid continues to evolve and becomes more agile and complex, the arguments in favor of MBE and HIL become more compelling. This is especially true when it comes to microgrids.
If the aim of a decentralized and digitalized grid is reliability and resilience, the digital tools used to design, test and integrate the components to achieve that end should be no less rigorous and up to date. Model Based Engineering, and especially C-HIL, represents the state-of-the-art approach to link value assessment, engineering, and system operation. Further more, it becomes a significant tool in speeding up de-carbonization of the human impact on the environment.
