eHS
Automatic Model
The innovative eHS technology, a generic
electrical FPGA Hardware Solver, is at the heart
Generation
of the eFPGAsim suite. This world premiere provides the same ease of use as standard
PC-based HIL simulators.
Thanks to a convenient circuit schematic graphical user interface, the FPGA code is
automatically generated, making FPGA-based simulation accessible to the largest number
of users.
FPGA
eHSs goal is to facilitate the use of FPGA for highfidelity Hardware-In-the-Loop simulation with submicrosecond time steps by avoiding the difficulties
associated with the coding of FPGA devices.

No mathematical modeling
No FPGA expertise
No VHDL programming
No need for Xilinx Blockset
or other Xilinx FPGA tools
Key Features
Benefits
eHS increases the simulation accuracy of complex
and fast electric circuits, as well as, drives, by achieving
very small model time step updates. It also facilitates
the use of FPGA chips to enable control and system
engineers to take advantage of FPGA-based simulation.

Reaching a reliable HIL implementation for a new generation of electric drives controllers
requires sound models, fast program execution with reaction times below a few
microseconds, and fast I/O communication. OPAL-RT provides solvers, FPGA architecture
and CPU capability that define us as a leader in a wide range of electric drives simulation
and bring HIL-testing very close to reality.

Key Benefits
Partners
For the EV/HEV market, OPAL-RTs HIL platform includes
a suite of FPGA-based high-fidelity Real-time motor
simulation solutions that integrate leading finiteelement analysis (FEA) models from companies such
as JMAG, Infolytica and ANSYS which include nonlinear
effects such as field saturation and harmonic effects.
Inter-FPGA
Communication
OPAL-RT pushes the limits of one
FPGAs computing resources
by implementing Inter-FPGA
communication for micro-grid,
MMC, more electrical aircraft or
other large power electronics
applications.
Our recent simulators are equipped
with SFP sockets that allow 5Gbits
inter-FPGA communication trough
optical fiber.
