The combination of hardware and software components offers comprehensive testing options. The solution supports all common charging communication standards and can be easily integrated into your test setup. Thanks to its high flexibility, it can complete a range of tasks. Get an overview of our equipment for validating charging technologies on this website and learn how your development process will benefit from the comprehensive dSPACE solution.

Application Areas

The Smart Charging Solution supports both manufacturers of electric vehicles and manufacturers of charging stations in developing and testing charging technologies. You can use it for the following:

Validating Onboard Chargers

Test real electric vehicles and onboard chargers by connecting them to simulated charging stations that support different standards
Test various ECUs and power electronics components involved in the charging process

Key Benefits

The Smart Charging Solution supports you throughout various development steps – from software-in-the-loop (SIL) testing to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and power HIL (PHIL) testing all the way up to real-vehicle testing. It comes with a CAN FD interface for easy integration into existing HIL environments.

The solution supports both AC and DC charging. You can also use it to simulate errors during communication and to monitor and manipulate power-line communication used, e.g., for the pairing mechanism (signal level attenuation characterization, SLAC).
