Optimizing EV Power and Drivetrain Testing with Bidirectional, Regenerative DC Supplies
Unlock faster, more efficient EV Power and Drivetrain Testing
Automotive electronics are changing in dramatic ways and the automotive world is racing into a disruptive future. The market demand for reduction in the use of fossil fuels is driving the inexorable move toward electrified vehicles. The complexity of testing the whole spectrum of electronic devices and systems within this new breed of vehicles is placing higher demands on test equipment used in the design and manufacturing. Where once this technology area was centered on electronic ignition systems, navigation systems, adaptive cruise control systems, lighting and infotainment, the rapid emergence of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids (HEVs) is now concerned with higher power, high-energy power conversion systems and drive trains. It is not only the battery and drive train electronics, but also the power conversion systems required to interface these systems with myriad low-voltage systems. These demands are driving innovation in test equipment manufacturers to produce programmable power sources and programmable electronic loads that can accommodate the needs for higher power, faster response, the capability of simulating complex operating scenarios and doing all of this with higher efficiency. Enter bidirectional, programmable DC power supplies with integrated regenerative electronic loads.
EA-PSB Bidirectional Power Supplies
The EA 20000 Series and 10000 Series bidirectional DC power supplies bring a host of capabilities and efficiencies. Bidirectional regenerative supplies are more cost-effective and environmentally friendly because they recover energy and feed it back into the grid with >96% efficiency to reduce heat, noise and HVAC costs. True autoranging delivers maximum power across a wider range of voltage and current values while a suite of optional control interfaces enables computer control in near any manufacturing environment.
20000 Series models offer 3 independent channels, fast 1ms response times, and integrated safety sense functionality for sensitive applications. EA supplies can parallel easily up to 3.84MW in output power, at up to 2000VDC. They come standard with a built-in function generator capable of creating arbitrary waveforms, included test routines for battery test, fuel cell simulation, PV solar array simulation with MPP tracking, and more.
