New Breakthrough in Full Topology HIL Simulation Testing for On-Board Chargers
SHINRY
SHINRY Technologies leverages OPAL-RT’s high-performance HIL simulation solution—integrating the OP4800-IO series expansion units and eHS—to overcome the complex challenges of full-topology modeling and high-frequency testing for On-Board Chargers (OBC). This solution achieves nanosecond-level real-time simulation and supports switching frequencies of several hundreds kHz, significantly accelerating control algorithm verification and identifying hardware-software integration risks early in the development cycle.

OPAL-RT and NI solution helps to engineer EV DC Fast-Charging Systems for the Trans-Canada Highway
University of Toronto (CAPE) & eCAMION
The Centre for Applied Power Electronics (CAPE) at the University of Toronto partnered with eCAMION to deploy battery-buffered DC Fast-Charging Systems (DCFCS) along the 7,821 km Trans-Canada Highway. Using OPAL-RT’s FPGA-based Power Electronics Toolbox (eHS) alongside National Instruments controllers for HIL testing and RCP, the team developed, tested, and validated a UL and ESA-approved 60-kW converter prototype in under two years—slashing development costs and safety risks while supporting zero-emission transportation.
