Chroma 62000D: Bidirectional Battery Testing
Increasing developments in renewable energies along with the rapid growth of electric vehicles are motivating the commercialization of distributed energy sources in micro grids. The same goes for the bidirectional design of power conversion devices. These devices are motivating battery applications to achieve higher efficiencies, higher voltage conversion, and higher power densities. With that said, design and test engineers are looking to replicate these characteristics from battery simulators with bidirectional DC power capabilities for their product development.
The Chroma 62000D not only provides source and load modes but offers a bidirectional switch-mode that enables two-quadrant operation providing both DC power and regenerative DC loading. The absorbed energy feeds back to the grid with an efficiency of up to 93%. The regenerative load modes include constant current, constant voltage, and constant power and can simulate the battery for testing battery connected charging devices. Where conventional methods required both DC power supply and regenerative DC load, one single Chroma 62000D can fulfil both charging and discharging tests in one unit.
