A battery emulator plays a crucial role in the electrification revolution by facilitating the development, testing, and optimization of various aspects related to electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy systems.
In the automotive, aerospace, renewable energy sectors, and beyond, the use of a Battery Emulator allows you to evaluate the performance, reliability, and compatibility of products or systems without the need for physical batteries, facilitating the identification of defects or weak points of design even before implementation, and certainly save time and resources.
Furthermore, the use of a Battery Emulator within the Testing and R&D (Research & Development) departments avoids expensive Safety adaptations that would otherwise have to be made in the case of using battery packs.
CustoM 2.0 offers its own Battery Emulator on the market which is composed as follows:
- Bi-directional power supply: The partnerships with companies specialized in the creation and distribution of power supplies capable of covering the entire power range necessary in Plug-in Hybrid and EV applications have allowed CustoM 2.0 to satisfy the most varied power requests ranging from Low Voltage batteries to High Voltage battery packs
- BMS (Battery Management System): through the use of high-end controllers, the BMS is loaded and simulated in order to carry out complete testing of the customer’s application
- JBoxX (Junction Box X): the CustoM 2.0 system is equipped with a customized box capable of facilitating the connection to the Battery Emulator both in AC and DC
Furthermore, JBoxX includes the implementation of further components such as:
- Low Voltage power supply
- Universal insulation monitor (Isometer)
- Power contactors for system safety management
One of the innovative features that give greater versatility to the JBoxX Battery Emulator is that it is also available in a “mobile” version equipped with wheels that allow easy transport to different test rooms and allow testing on multiple powertrains.
The JBoxX Battery Emulator in the mobile version has a power limit of 108kW but can be connected in parallel to other similar modules to increase the total power (up to 216kW) while maintaining the transportability of the systems.
Battery simulators are a valuable tool in the electrification revolution, and CustoM 2.0 with the JBoxX Battery Emulator is on the market to contribute to a successful green transition towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
