As a first step in their collaboration, the two companies will launch a new product bundle, designed to foster innovation in power electronics. Combining a state-of-the-art HIL simulator from OPAL-RT with Imperix’s Boombox and power hardware, this bundle will allow for quick and simple experimentation of power converter control techniques. Indeed, thanks to the combined use of both HIL and low-voltage prototyping in a single test bench, R&D engineers can accelerate their development cycle and obtain a very high degree of realism.
Imperix will also benefit from the long-established sales network of OPAL-RT, notably in North- and South-Americas. Reciprocally, OPAL-RT will be able to count on imperix’s solutions and expertise in power electronics to further extend its activities beyond simulation.
