FAQ
Find the answers to your questions
How does OPAL-RT support real-time simulation for power electronics systems?
We provide ultra-fast, high-fidelity real-time simulation tools tailored for power electronics. Our CPU- and FPGA-based solvers allow you to simulate converters, motor drives, and control systems down to sub-microsecond precision. This enables you to perform exhaustive control validation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing with unmatched accuracy and speed.
What makes OPAL-RT’s FPGA solvers different from other solutions?
Our solvers are built for performance. With over 25 years of R&D in this field, we’ve created two specialized products to cater to the needs of the power electronics industry.
- ARTEMiS: a CPU-based electrical solver designed to bring Simulink® and SimPowerSystems power electronics models to real time, with advanced decoupling techniques preserving fidelity even in complex topologies.
- eHS: an FPGA-based electrical solver that lets you bring complex power electronics models from various sources to real time, with minimal effort and no hand coding, achieving time steps below the microsecond.
Designed for a wide range of representativity of phenomenon to be studied, both allow you to iterate faster, test more scenarios, and reduce your time to validation.
Can OPAL-RT be used to test control strategies for hybrid and electric vehicles?
Absolutely. Our platform is widely used in the automotive industry to validate electric propulsion, battery management, and charging systems. We support rapid prototyping and real-time testing for hybrid and fully electric vehicles, helping you optimize performance and meet safety standards before physical integration.
What kinds of energy conversion applications can OPAL-RT simulate?
We support a broad range of energy conversion systems, including DC-DC converters, AC-DC rectifiers, DC-AC inverters, modular multi-level converters, and more. Whether you’re developing industrial drives, renewable energy systems, or onboard vehicle converters, our tools help you simulate, test, and refine your control strategies under real operating conditions.
Who is using OPAL-RT’s power electronics solutions today?
Leaders like ABB, Ford, Toyota, and Eaton use our simulation platforms to design and test their most advanced power electronic systems. They rely on us because we deliver the performance, flexibility, and fidelity required for today’s complex, high-speed control applications, backed by decades of experience and continuous innovation.
