Battery Simulator / Emulator
EV Battery simulators / emulators for testing electric vehicle propulsion and powertrain systems, including traction inverters, E-motors & E-axles.
Test your EV and HEV propulsion systems with a UNICO EV Battery
Simulator / Emulator.
This outstanding EV battery simulator / emulator comes standard with programmable voltage and current controls for resistance simulation, so you can quickly test and view results for hundreds of different battery designs on powertrain performance. With the programmable slew rate, you can precisely regulate the response to a change in both the requested output and changes in the load. And with a full filtered output, systems can be designed with minimal current and voltage ripple – typical ripple is less than 1%.
Features
Testing Applications
Testing of different battery designs and power ratings on the EV propulsion system to evaluate efficiency, durablilty, and performance response of the traction inverter, E-Motor, and E-Axle.
Precision Control and Flexibility
Unico inverters achieve a high sampling frequency with silicon IGBTs, ranging from 1 kHz (1.0 ms) to 10 kHz (0.1 ms). This provides quick response to changing commands or load levels. Performance can be customized to your application.
Common DC bus architecture allows for add-on dynamometer controls sections, high efficiency, fully regenerative current source and sink capability. Higher voltage and current possible by connecting units in series and parallel. The optional ripple generator (inject AC wave on top of DC output) is available for specialized testing. Full bridge models have 0-volt operation for applications like fuel cell testing.
For stand-alone battery emulators, systems can be designed to recycle regenerated power back to the three-phase grid bus. This eliminates the need to dump valuable power into resistors.
Preprogrammed
With the programmable slew rate, you can precisely regulate the response to a change in both the requested output and changes in the load. And with a full filtered output, systems can be designed with minimal current and voltage ripple – typical ripple is less than 1%.
Control voltage to a constant or dynamic set point, regardless of the current draw. This removes the variability of battery performance, so you can accurately test efficiency and response of your vehicle’s traction inverter, E-Motor, and E-Axle.
User Programmable
Program voltage to decrease and current to increase, in response to a load, simulating the impedance of a high voltage EV battery. This will help you determine the actual performance of how the battery and EV powertrain will perform under real world scenario testing. You can also set a specific limit or constant current level for testing applications that require it.
High Speed Link
Supports most industry standard communication protocol, making it versatile to work with any available automation system platform. A high-speed communications interface is optionally available to accept commands from existing customer controllers that are used to generate test profiles. Wired and fiber-optic options are available. Supported protocols include:
- CANopen
- CC-Link
- ControlNet
- DeviceNet
- Ethernet
- EtherCAT (async)
- Interbus
- LonWorks
- Modbus Plus
- Profibus DPV1
- Profibus Master
- EtherCat (sync)
Safety and Protection
Built-in safety and control interlocks are hardwired, opto-isolated, and software configurable, so you can match the demands of your EV propulsion system under test.
