Thanks to technological advancements and economic trends, demand for sustainable energy and energy resilience in homes has risen significantly over the past decade. An increasing number of homeowners have acquired distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar power and energy storage. The move to residential DERs represents a profound shift in how energy resources are viewed and managed. In this blog article, learn how you can address the challenges of the rising integration of distributed energy resources and big loads like EV charging in the grid with HIL testing. 👉 https://lnkd.in/duhK2PHy #TyphoonHILBlog #DistributedEnergyResources #SolarEnergy #EnergyStorage #HILTesting

We are proud to see this new paper published in the 𝗜𝗘𝗘𝗘 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀, resulting from the collaboration between C-PED - ROMA TRE University and C-PED member Power Electronics Laboratory (PElab), University of Pavia. The work introduces a self-tuning finite-state model predictive control approach combined with quasi-passive grid-impedance estimation, using the estimated grid parameters to continuously adapt the control model to changing grid conditions and improve robustness. We are especially glad that our HIL402 and HIL606 real-time simulators supported the validation of the control software and the verification of the defined safety criteria before moving to experimental laboratory testing. Congratulations to all the co-authors on this strong contribution to adaptive, grid-aware control. It is a great example of how real-time Hardware-in-the-Loop testing helps bring advanced research from concept to reliable implementation.

In this interview, Prof. Manuel B., Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Universidad de Sevilla, Spain, shares how Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) technology is transforming both research and education in power electronics: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dyKH8-iZ As a long-time partner in innovation and education with Typhoon HIL, Prof. Barragan-Villarejo highlights the value of HIL in accelerating controller development, reducing debugging time, improving prototype robustness, and minimizing equipment damage. He explains how students benefit from hands-on learning through real-time simulations, analog/digital signal work, and system integration—experiences that prepare them for real-world engineering challenges. The conversation also touches on the SUNRISE Summer School, a joint initiative between the University of Seville and Typhoon HIL, where students gain first-hand experience working with cutting-edge HIL tools and methodologies. #TyphoonHILCommunity #SUNRISESummerSchool #Academia #PowerElectronics #HILTeachingLab

Permanent magnet (PM) motors, using heavy rare-earth elements like Neodymium, Terbium, and Dysprosium, have been the go-to choice for electric vehicle (EV) motors due to their efficiency and power density. However, complex extraction processes and limited supply chains have led to price volatility. To overcome these challenges, the e-Mobility industry is increasingly focusing on developing rare-earth-free electric motors. These motors aim to achieve higher speed, power density, and voltage at a lower cost, reducing reliance on rare-earth elements and promoting a sustainable future for electric transportation, while real-time simulation and testing tools aid their development.

𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 are among the most complex power electronics systems engineers will ever build, combining multi-stage topologies, high-frequency SiC switching, and medium-voltage operation. Validating them safely and with full fidelity is essential to proving they are ready to meet the demands of the modern grid. That is exactly what Amperesand is doing with Typhoon HIL. As Christopher McLaughlin shares, the ability to rapidly iterate firmware, while maintaining the performance and reliability that critical infrastructure requires, has been key to their work. By safely testing a full-fidelity model of their MV SST against demanding real-world loads, the team is demonstrating that medium-voltage SSTs are a viable solution for the grid of the future.  Stories like this show how real-time Hardware-in-the-Loop testing helps teams move faster while ensuring reliability, from firmware iteration to full-system validation.

The latest developments in X-ray medical imaging help improve diagnostic capabilities while reducing costs. X-ray generators need to keep up with the challenges imposed by new semiconductor and software technologies. The time and complexity of a “full-digital” X-ray generator development are significantly reduced by using HIL instead of a complex setup of X-ray tubes, high-voltage sources, power loads, and banks of various instruments, leading to faster development and innovation in the field.

We are incredibly proud of the H-Bridges team from the University of Belgrade, School of Electrical Engineering, and the DDC Laboratory, on receiving the Best Technical Report Award and placing 4th among 30 teams worldwide at the IEEE International Future Energy Challenge #IFEC2026. As one of the sponsors of the team, it is deeply rewarding to see these young engineers turn countless hours of dedication in the lab into such an outstanding result on the international stage. Congratulations to the entire team, and to the mentors, faculty, and partners who supported them along the way! This year's IFEC challenged teams to design a 1 kW bidirectional on-board charger for electric vehicles, which had to meet performance, efficiency, and safety requirements. The team's solution supported bidirectional operation with dual single-phase AC input and a 400 VDC nominal output, targeting over 92% efficiency at rated power, a power density of 2 kW/L with custom EMI filters and cooling, galvanic isolation with plug-and-play capability, and a cost-optimized bill of materials. It is exactly the kind of hands-on, real-world engineering that shapes the next generation of power electronics experts! #TyphoonHILCommunity #PowerElectronics #eMobility #FutureEngineers

In this blog, we show how Typhoon HIL and Supplier devices integrate into a complete P-HIL testbed. By pairing Supplier's customizable 4-quadrant power sources, operating as power amplifiers, with the real-time environment of Typhoon HIL Control Center, engineers can reproduce simulated waveforms on real hardware and feed live voltage and current measurements back into the loop. This closed-loop setup lets you control amplitude, frequency, and harmonics while emulating diverse generation, load, and battery scenarios, extending naturally to EVs, power quality, and renewable energy applications.
