A compact, cost-effective, and ready-to-deploy HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) platform designed to help you safely test, validate, and demonstrate your EMS in real time — without the need for physical microgrid hardware, costly MATLAB licenses, or in-house HIL specialists.

 

Based on a verified Simulink-based digital twin and deployed on a certified real-time platform (Speedgoat, dSPACE), the setup emulates realistic PV, BESS, load, and grid conditions — enabling faster development, higher reliability, and confident EMS demonstrations in a fully controlled environment.

Challenges EMS Developers Face

• Physical test benches are unavailable or unsafe to use early in development

• Debugging control logic directly on hardware introduces costly risks

• Onboarding and training engineers is inefficient without simulation tools

• EMS logic is hard to explain or showcase without a visual, working setup

• Pre-commissioning is often skipped, leading to integration delays on site

​

Solution Highlights

• Closed-loop communication via Modbus TCP/RTU, CAN (e.g. for BMS), and optional DNP3

• Real-time HIL simulation of microgrid components: PV, BESS, load, energy meter and grid 

• Precompiled Simulink-based digital twin, requiring no MATLAB license on the client side

• Detailed BESS model with type-specific battery curves, CC/CV control, SOC/voltage constraints

• Built-in test scenarios, including PV ramping, SOC cycling, islanding, and more

• Integrated GUI for interactive testing, live demonstrations, and scenario control

​

Use Cases

• Algorithm validation and safe debugging in a controlled real-time environment

• Customer demonstrations and pilot testing without access to physical hardware

• Training and onboarding of EMS developers and integrators

• Pre-commissioning and fault response testing before field deployment

​

What You Get

• Save time and cost — skip building your own models or HIL infrastructure

• No MATLAB required on your side — just connect your EMS to the precompiled setup

• No need to hire an in-house HIL specialist — we handle model design and integration

• Custom test modes and protocol mapping — tailored to your EMS architecture

• Scalable foundation — extend later with predictive control, optimization, and digital twins

​

Extensibility

• The HIL setup is not a fixed black box — it's a modular, upgradeable platform that evolves alongside your EMS.

• We offer long-term support and development services to help you extend and adapt your system as your project scales:

• Custom hardware expansion: extend I/O, protocols, and interfaces based on your EMS architecture 

• Functional upgrades to the digital twin: add new assets, control logic, grid conditions, or operating modes

• Custom test scenario design: simulate utility-specific workflows, edge cases, and fault conditions

• Automated EMS testing​
