OPAL-RT Technologies will be joining Innovatrix as one of our exhibitors at the upcoming DZOM EXPO taking place at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Centre in Chicago, IL, on December 3–4, 2024.
OPAL-RT Technologies is the leading developer of open Real-Time Digital Simulators and Hardware-In-the-Loop testing equipment for electrical, electro-mechanical and power electronic systems. OPAL-RT Simulators are used by engineers and researchers at leading manufacturers, utilities, universities and research centres around the world. OPAL-RT’s unique technological approach integrates parallel, distributed computing with commercial-off-the-shelf technologies.
OPAL-RT is proud to offer both on and off-highway autonomous system engineers a flexible and open simulation platform. Featuring a real-time capable 3D environment with sensor simulation, including cameras and LiDAR, users can create countless autonomous vehicle scenarios. With OPAL-RT you can create Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop simulations to accelerate your autonomous vehicle project timelines, while increasing quality and reducing overall costs. OPAL-RT offers 4DV-SIM, a high-fidelity, 3D environment simulator made for on and off-road autonomous vehicles and robotics systems featuring a wide range of sensors, including cameras, LiDAR, IMUs and GNSS.
OPAL-RT’s unique expertise in real-time simulation for EV and HEV electric motors, together with the company’s experienced HIL engineering, has evolved through a wide variety of collaborative automotive projects. Their experience in co-simulation and accelerated-time simulation, meanwhile, has been employed in the development of modern chassis systems (ADAS), as well as in the re-simulation of upwards of five petabytes of data in order to prove their roadworthiness. Today, OPAL-RT offers this comprehensive and successful line of products and solutions for the automotive industry.
Harnessing the power of OPAL-RT’s eHS HIL Simulation Technology for Charging Solutions
In today’s era of electrification, the demand for reliable charging solutions has driven the need for advanced testing methods. On-board chargers (OBCs), which convert AC to DC power, now operate at higher switching frequencies (100-500kHz) to reduce passive components and enhance efficiency. Offboard charging stations (EVSE) must meet rigorous standards for compatibility, reliability, and compliance with diverse grid requirements.
OPAL-RT specializes in grid testing and power electronics technology, offering the high-performance eHS solver renowned for its speed and flexibility in advanced simulations. Engineers and scientists benefit from OPAL-RT’s solutions due to their adaptability to evolving industry standards, high fidelity simulations, and scalability across various testing scenarios—from component-level validation to comprehensive system-level testing.
PHIL for motor emulation and DC power testing is unquestionably changing the product development landscape in comparison to traditional analog test benches (Dyno Testing). PHIL simulation permits users to run a significant quantity of test cases incorporating multiple failure configurations previously inconceivable with traditional methods. It also enables full power testing without users in the vehicle and without real vehicle components. Extend your EV/HEV control design and test strategy by including the same simulation tools from HIL validation in R&D to manufacturing and testing with the same software platform–and in the process decreasing product development costs, improving the product, and decreasing time to market.
