IABG and dSPACE Collaborate: Industry-Specific, Turn-Key Power HIL Test Benches and Test Centers from a Single Source

Paderborn/Ottobrunn, 25.9. 2023. In addition to the extensive software validation, the validation of power electronics modules also requires tests with full electric power, for example, on power HIL test benches. Due to the extreme thermal conditions, this usually requires the connection of further infrastructure components such as climatic chambers and refrigeration units to the test benches. Furthermore, the diverse requirements of various industry branches make the planning and implementation of power HIL test benches and test centers increasingly complex. 

To meet these challenges, dSPACE and the technology company IABG are intensifying their collaboration in the field of planning and installation of customer-specific test systems and test centers – especially for the integration of power HIL test benches. Together, both companies will offer their customers turn-key solutions from one source – from the planning of the building, to the provision and integration of hardware and software, to commissioning.

IABG and dSPACE each bring their own strengths to this partnership.
IABG contributes its expertise as a general contractor for test centers and many years of experience in the field of technical planning of test benches and specialized test systems in the automotive, energy & environment, aviation, aerospace, and defense technology. dSPACE completes the offer with decades of HIL experience and established power HIL test systems as ready-to-use solutions for testing and validation of power electronics assemblies at full power. 

“The close and efficient collaboration offers our customers clear advantages: Complex power HIL test systems can be efficiently integrated into our customers’ buildings that are already available or constructed as a completely new test center,” says Johannes Heine, Head of Programs Test Centers at IABG.  Our mutual customers therefore benefit from a completely integrated and continuous validation solution consisting of open models, powerful real-time hardware, power HIL test environment, and intuitive test automation,” adds Manuel Fischer, Product Manager Power HIL Solutions at dSPACE.
