Integrated directly with National Instruments’ VeriStand, OPAL-RT’s FPGA-Based Power Electronics Add-On (eHS) is a powerful FPGA-Based simulation tool for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing. Used with controllers for power electronics applications, it enables users to simulate an electric circuit on FPGA automatically, and through a convenient user interface, without having to write the mathematical equations.
Import models from various third-party power electronic simulation software.
Include detailed machine models and emulate resolvers and encoders, among others.
Change parameters during simulation using scenarios and parameters sets.
Simulate complex power electronics circuits in real time, with the best accuracy.
Take OPAL-RT’s solution for a spin today — completely free and with no obligation. With the demo, you can import a model designed with your favorite circuit editor, configure the simulation parameters, and create customized test scenarios to generate faults or simulate other events and maneuvers.

The FPGA-Based Power Electronics Toolbox (eHS) offers two series of solvers for NI VeriStand to better address your engineering needs. Cater to the requirements of your system by selecting the exact number of states, switches and signals of measurements and controls from our list of solvers for NI VeriStand: eHSx64, eHSx128. Read the VeriStand Add-On specifications for additional information on available series.
Recognizing the advanced functions and interoperability required by their most expert users, OPAL-RT has made available a Software Development Kit (SDK) for eHS on National Instruments’ LabVIEW.
The FPGA-Based Power Electronics SDK for LabVIEW contains all the functionality required to help develop firmware dedicated to the testing of ECUs and controllers found in power electronics applications. The SDK provides a comprehensive library of LabVIEW functions and project templates required to create new firmware configurations perfectly suited to NI CompactRIO and PXI hardware platforms.
Integrated within eHS, the FPGA Electric Machine Library is the ideal platform for designing and testing controller and power electronics and electric drive systems. The library includes a power electronic and motor library that lets you simulate all components forming the electrical motor drive system. It includes detailed mathematical model of different type of electrical motors such as:
In one of Canada’s most ambitious Electric Vehicle infrastructure projects, the University of Toronto’s Centre for Applied Power Electronics (CAPE) partnered with energy storage company eCAMION to build a DC Fast-Charging System (DCFCS) for EV charging stations on the Trans-Canada Highway, one of the world’s longest highways.
The engineering team’s use of OPAL-RT’s FPGA-Based Power Electronics Toolbox (eHS) expedited the development process, lowered the development costs and reduced the safety risks inherent in developing the systems at high voltage and currents.
