Featured Case Study
High voltage, direct current (HVDC) is key for long-distance bulk electric power transmission. Siemens developed a revolutionary new test concept for HVDC components and selected us to guide industry experts from Siemens AG and scientists from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg using the NI platform to implement a proof of concept for that new test circuit at record speed.
Building on the success of the proof of concept, we now support its migration into a fully-grown software test application for the world-wide leading facility for HVDC tests, which is currently being built from the ground up in Nuremberg.
Current & Recent Projects
