In-House Development & R&D
At Planet Energy Systems, development and R&D form the foundation of everything we build. We continuously invest in in-house design, prototyping, testing, and validation to strengthen our expertise in power electronics systems and embedded control architectures.
Our development activities are driven by real engineering challenges encountered during product realization. This hands-on approach enables us to create robust hardware platforms, reusable firmware components, and validated system-level solutions.
Power Electronics Development
Our power electronics development spans the complete lifecycle — from topology selection and schematic design to hardware bring-up, control tuning, and long-duration validation testing.
- DC/DC, DC/AC, and AC/DC converter development
- High-frequency and high-power-density designs
- Specialized inverter systems for industrial and aerospace use
- Protection, sensing, and thermal design
Embedded Firmware & Control Systems
Firmware development is tightly integrated with our hardware design process. We develop deterministic real-time firmware that directly interfaces with power stages, sensors, and communication peripherals.
- Real-time control loops and modulation techniques
- System state machines and supervision frameworks
- Custom peripheral driver development
- Communication stacks and diagnostics
Firmware Infrastructure & Bootloaders
As part of our internal R&D efforts, we develop reusable firmware infrastructure to improve maintainability and scalability across multiple products and platforms.
- UDS and XCP compliant bootloader implementations
- Firmware update over CAN, Ethernet, and FlexRay
- Serial firmware update mechanisms (RS-232 / RS-422)
- Application isolation and safe update strategies
Test & Validation Platforms
To support rapid development and robust validation, we build internal test platforms that enable real-time signal monitoring, data logging, and automated testing of power electronics systems.
- Custom DAQ systems and signal conditioning hardware
- Real-time visualization and debugging tools
- Automated test setups for functional and stress testing
Our in-house development and validation activities ensure that our products and platforms are based on proven designs rather than theoretical concepts. This reduces project risk and enables faster, more reliable customization for customer-specific requirements.
