Programmable Power Solutions for Advanced Battery Testing

White Paper Overview

As electric vehicles, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and next-generation battery chemistries continue to evolve, engineers face increasing pressure to validate battery performance, safety, and reliability more efficiently than ever before. Modern battery testing requires flexible, high-power test systems capable of supporting battery cycling, battery emulation, charge/discharge testing, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) validation, and compliance with changing industry standards. White Paper Battery Test explores the trends driving the rapid growth of battery testing and examines the key challenges impacting EV, energy storage, and battery development programs.

This white paper explains how bidirectional and regenerative programmable power systems help overcome these challenges by enabling seamless source and sink operation, fast dynamic response, battery simulation, and scalable testing architectures. Learn how battery emulation can reduce testing time, improve repeatability, enhance safety, and support advanced validation of battery management systems (BMS), power electronics, and energy storage applications. The paper also highlights real-world testing use cases including battery pack charge/discharge testing, BESS validation, fuel cell testing, second-life battery assessment, and HIL testing workflows.
