Validation of Electronic Systems: Power Hardware In the Loop (PHIL) Testing

The power electronics sector is likely one of the fastest-growing areas due to significant factors such as the acceleration of electric vehicles, the implementation of renewable energies, and the development of batteries with increasingly greater capacity and autonomy. In this context, power electronics applications and equipment are positioned as essential enablers for the energy transition.

To be useful and safe when integrated into the electrical grid, the manufacture of power and control equipment requires certifications to ensure they will not suffer incidents or fail at any time. They must also come with all operational guarantees, from design to verification and validation.

The power electronics testing and study laboratory helps equipment manufacturers design more robust technology, develop validation tests for products by simulating the real environment, and verify the performance of the equipment in any scenario, no matter how extreme.

The power amplifier generates signals capable of delivering and consuming high power, which also allows connection with real-time simulators for PHIL (Power Hardware-in-the-Loop) applications.
