imperix

You might be familiar with our standard solutions, but we also offer hardware customization tailored for your specific needs. For instance, following the recent request of a customer, the standard MMC testbench was slightly modified to support full-bridge operation, and custom rear panels were added for easy re-wiring of the submodules. With these small modifications, they can now easily switch between standard AC-DC MMCs, direct AC-AC MMCs, and all kinds of cascaded H-bridge topologies using a single modular setup. Watch the video to see the setup for real here: https://lnkd.in/eibDmK_5 and find more information on our standard test bench here: https://lnkd.in/eYNpKvbj. With the addition of a few medium-frequency transformers, the same equipment could also be re-used for building a complete Solid-State Transformer (SST) prototype. A similar realization was previously documented in https://lnkd.in/eQUdK4Vr. Interested in knowing more about the customization possibilities?

This month, numerous articles were published using imperix equipment. We’d like to highlight five of them, which happen to be all related to grid-forming applications of three-phase inverters. - In case you’d like to learn more about these works? Please find the links below. - Do you want a chance to be featured in the next "publications of the month"? Feel free to let us know about your recent work. Publications of the month, July 2026: - J.

Did you know that the B-Box 4 is capable of running closed-loop controls up to a rate of 500 kHz? That’s a 50 to 80% performance increase over the B-Box 3. This makes high control loop rates and complex algorithms accessible with the simplicity of CPU programming. We reached this level of performance by exploiting the low-latency potential of Systems on Chips (CPUs and FPGAs on the same chip), leveraging the quad-core 1.5 GHz CPU, and rigorously optimizing our code.

1000 B-Boards sold! Whether integrated directly within power converters for product-embedded applications or deployed in custom setups, the B-Board enables various implementations, including industrial inverters and rectifiers, motor drives, multilevel inverters, and all distributed control systems. Thank you to all our customers for your trust! Discover the B-Board and its key specifications here: https://lnkd.in/eQa8EdsN #Imperix #PowerElectronics #BBoard #PowerConverter

Did you know that all Imperix controllers come with a user-programmable FPGA? In fact, this feature grants users direct access to most of the hardware's logic resources. This enables even higher closed-loop control rates than what is possible with the CPU, or allows for the implementation of custom drivers for additional I/O peripherals. Various development approaches are possible, suitable for different user profiles: - High-level synthesis (HLS) techniques are supported, including AMD Vitis HLS, MATLAB HDL Coder, and AMD System Generator. - Traditional VHDL/Verilog development is also always possible. Getting-started information is available at https://lnkd.in/dbvBfGdX. The page also provides links to application examples, such as: - FPGA-based control of a grid-tied inverter - Integration with third-party HIL simulators over Aurora - Data collection for delta-sigma ADC circuits What’s more, this feature comes at no extra charge. With the B-Box 4, these benefits are even fully maximized since the controller integrates the largest available FPGA that can be programmed with a free Vivado license!

Today, our engineers Irati Ibañez Hidalgo and Maxime Caloz are inaugurating our brand new video space! They are filming a presentation of a recently completed project. This new setup will allow us to produce videos to showcasing custom systems, highlighting the initial customer needs and the tailored solution provided by #Imperix. Stay tuned for the upcoming videos!

Through his research, Dr. Khaliqur Rahman from the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) recently explored real-time Grid-forming inverter (GFMI) control by pairing our B-Box controller with a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulator, and he recorded the entire process. As a contribution to the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) forum, Dr. Rahman put together a video walkthrough detailing how he: - Implemented droop-controlled GFMI control in the B-Box. - Interfaced the controller with the plant in the Typhoon #HIL simulator. - Successfully operated and validated the inverter in grid-connected and islanded mode. If you are an engineer or researcher working on renewable integration, microgrids, or rapid control prototyping, this video highlights how #imperix solutions facilitate advanced microgrid research.
