Real-time simulation of power electronics remains one of the greatest challenges to HIL simulation. The I/O capability for capturing PWM frequency, the overall latency of the closed-loop simulation, and mathematical solving of coupled switches and fault injection on all stages of complex power electronics schematics are just some of the complexities of this evolving industry. After two decades of real-time simulation research and development, together with hands-on experience with power electronics, OPAL-RT has delivered eFPGASIM, the industry’s most powerful and intuitive FPGA-based real-time solution. eFPGASIM combines the performance of high-fidelity digital simulators with very low communication latency to provide power electronics engineers with a state-of-the-art HIL platform for the development and testing of control and protection systems. eFPGASIM system allows engineers to go further on their tests due to its integration with other products, such as: eMEGASIM, which allows users to connect their power electronics device from a microgrid to a very large power grid. ePHASORSIM, to interact with and address the integration of renewables and the progressively overloaded transmission network, cybersecurity concerns, and the complexity of operation, monitoring, and control and protection on power grids. Communication protocols such as Modbus, IEC 61850, DNP3, cAN, ARINC-429, MIl-STD-1553 and many others. A full and well-documented API, allowing users to interact with other applications, such as Python, TestStand, labVIEw, C++ and Java.
