Typhoon HIL Blog

 

We had the honor to host our long-time academic collaborator and friend, Prof. Kaushik Rajashekara from the University of Houston, in our main R&D Center in Serbia. We used this chance to record an interesting interview with him, so we can share with you more about his career path in research, current main research topics, and how he uses HIL in his teaching to help students gain valuable skills for careers in industry. Check out our video and blog to learn more.

Electric vehicle (EV) battery management system (BMS) development and testing have some specific challenges, so we gathered a team of expert panelists from the University of California Merced and the University of Applied Sciences Ravensburg-Weingarten to discuss how hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) solutions can address them. This article is a part of our HIL e-Mobility series and includes access to the webinar recording with a dedicated BMS HIL Testing demo.

Power electronics control testing that is quick, efficient, and thorough can be a challenge to achieve. To allow for hands-on evaluation of a real-time control testing setup that fulfills this spec, Typhoon HIL provides HIL in a Day exercises for interested parties. After this exercise was done with Viessmann, they observed faster testing and commissioning, with less time and money spent. Read more about their experiences in this blog.
