Inhalt:
The AVL E-STORAGE BTE is a high-voltage power supply which is designed for qualification and verification of electric driveline components in the automotive industry. It ensures 12 V to 1200 V voltage-range with a power output up to ±250 kW. The increase of complexity in high-voltage power electronics systems raises new challenges for validation, verification and optimization purposes, especially in the firmware (FW) design and validation. Using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) devices in automation of the FW build process has an important role in developing and wide-range testing complex embedded systems. This abstract presents an approach to test the functionality of the E-Storage Battery Tester & Emulator (BTE) System in an automated FW build process and test automation. The special attention is given to parallelized HIL systems to overcome limited IO capacity and processing power of a single HIL device.
