EV & Energy Systems
Powering the Electric Future.
Precision tools for BMS development, powertrain validation, charging infrastructure, and energy profiling, with functional safety for ASIL-D battery management.
Electric vehicles and energy systems represent one of the fastest-growing segments in embedded development, with battery management systems, powertrain controllers, and charging infrastructure demanding exceptional precision in both hardware and software. GSAS provides the specialized toolchain that EV engineering teams need, from precision power measurement during development through functional safety certification and production deployment.
The Joulescope JS220 is a cornerstone of our EV portfolio, delivering 9-decade dynamic range current measurement essential for BMS development and battery life optimization. Combined with PicoScope for high-resolution waveform analysis of power electronics and motor drives, teams gain deep visibility into the electrical behavior of their systems. Klocwork provides MISRA-compliant static analysis required for ISO 26262 ASIL-D certification of safety-critical battery management software. For unit-level verification, TESSY by Razorcat automates test execution and MC/DC coverage measurement across BMS and powertrain control modules.
On the power side, the GW Instek RBS Series regenerative bidirectional DC source covers pack charge and discharge cycling, BMS validation through built-in battery emulation across eight chemistries, and bidirectional DC-DC converter testing, at 5 kW to 30 kW per 3U chassis with absorbed energy returned to the facility supply rather than dissipated as heat. How to choose a regenerative bidirectional DC power supply walks the selection criteria for EV workloads.
India is rapidly emerging as a global hub for EV development, with established OEMs and startups building passenger EVs, commercial vehicles, and energy storage systems. GSAS supports this ecosystem with tools, training, and engineering services that help teams navigate the complex intersection of automotive functional safety, charging standards (IEC 61851, ISO 15118), and AUTOSAR platform requirements.

Standards & Toolchain Mapping
Standards listed for EV & Energy Systems, and the GSAS tools this site places against each. A chip shows a published qualification scope where one exists, and the bare standard name where none does.
AUTOSAR, IEC 61851, ISO 15118 are listed in this page's standards set, but no tool in the table below carries a published qualification against them, and GSAS does not claim one. Which of these applies to a given programme depends on its scope, jurisdiction and certification basis.
| Tool | Applicable Standards |
|---|---|
| Klocwork (Perforce) | ISO 26262 up to ASIL D |
| QA-C / Helix QAC (Perforce) | ISO 26262 up to ASIL D |
| Arm Compiler for Embedded FuSa | ISO 26262 ASIL D (qualified releases) |
| embOS-Safe (SEGGER) | ISO 26262 ASIL D |
| TESSY (Razorcat) | ISO 26262 |

Battery Simulator vs Battery Emulator: Hardware for BMS and Pack Testing
The bench instrument whose terminals behave like a battery pack, why a plain DC supply leaves BMS code paths unexercised, and the capability list to specify against. Worked through the GW Instek RBS Series battery simulation function.
BESS Test Benches: Rack-Level Charge and Discharge Qualification
The bench that qualifies a storage rack: which voltage classes rack buses land in, the current envelope at top of charge, parallel growth in the class you buy first, and cycling that runs unattended for weeks.
Solar Array Simulation for PV Inverter MPPT Testing
What a solar array simulator does that a bench supply cannot, how static and dynamic MPPT testing differ, and why the presence of a solar array simulation function depends on the model number rather than on the product family. From the GSAS engineering team in India.
