The question is why are power electronics systems so different considering that HIL has been used in aerospace and automotive applications for decades? Power electronics systems are a class of dynamic systems that exhibit extremely fast dynamics due to high-frequency switching action of power electronics switches (e.g. IGBTs, MOSFETs, IGCTs, diodes, etc.). Real-time simulations of switching transitions require digital processor speeds and latencies that cannot be met by off-the-shelf computer systems, even the ones based on the fastest consumer processors, thus making it extremely difficult to achieve high-resolution HIL for power electronics. The producers of HIL systems for power electronics have solved this problem by switching to FPGA/SOC platform technologies, which are up to 100 times faster than traditional computational methods and can therefore achieve high-resolution HIL necessary for power electronics.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web
