Use Cases
Software verification
The test bench provides a controlled environment for testing and validating control software. It enables the analysis of control strategies, safety functions, and system behavior under normal and fault conditions. Critical operating scenarios and faults can be reproduced systematically, allowing software responses, protection mechanisms, and overall system robustness to be evaluated before deployment in real-world applications.
Efficiency measurement
The test bench enables precise measurement and analysis of inverter efficiency across a wide range of operating conditions. By systematically varying voltage, current, power, and load conditions, efficiency maps can be generated to identify losses and evaluate the performance of power electronic converters.
Test of cooling media
The test bench enables the evaluation of different cooling media under varying temperature conditions. Both conventional and electrically non-conductive cooling fluids can be used, providing the flexibility to investigate innovative thermal management concepts and assess their impact on the performance of power electronic systems.
Testing of reliability and lifetime
Études offers comprehensive consulting, management, design, and research solutions. Our vision is to be at the forefront of architectural innovation, fostering a global community of architects and enthusiasts united by a passion for creating spaces.
