Virtual Validation for Intelligent Charging Systems
PC-based simulation of controller functions
When developing charging systems for electric vehicles, you must take a number of charging standards and technologies into account. Additionally, a wide range of suppliers is involved in the development process who are potentially providing ECU software in different formats. Eventually, all the ECU software has to be combined to an overall system and subsequently validated. PC-based simulation enables early integration and function tests that are independent from any hardware.
Application Areas
- Communication tests between electric vehicles and charging stations
- Testing the complete sequence of the charging process from the first cable connection to plug release
- Testing conformance with charging standards
Key Benefits
- Support of various charging standards, such as ISO 15118 or CHAdeMO
- Support of AC and DC charging
- Smart Charging in SIL Testing Software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing can benefit the development in the context of smart charging.
- Introduction to dSPACE Conformance Testing The dSPACE solution for smart charging supports you with standardized conformance tests as defined in ISO 15118-4, to implement and execute charging-standard-specific tests - to ensure interoperability between electric vehicles and charging stations.
