RT24 India | Latest Innovations for Power Electronics & eMobility (Traction, BMS and OBC) HIL Testing

This presentation will showcase the latest OPAL-RT solutions for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing in the field of power electronics and electric drives. We will explore advanced simulation techniques for electric motors, battery cells, and high-frequency switching converters such as the ones used in onboard chargers (OBC). These solutions are crucial for accurately simulating the key components of electric vehicles (EVs) and off-highway vehicles among others, enabling more thorough and efficient development processes. Key topics will include traction inverter HIL/PHIL testing and battery management system (BMS) testing / cell monitoring unit (CMU) virtualization, all critical to optimizing the performance and safety of eMobility systems. Special emphasis will be placed on the role of test automation in improving product quality, ensuring repeatability, and accelerating time-to-market.
