Battery testing and battery simulation for electromobility
Objectives and Functions of Battery Testing and Battery Simulation
Batteries are used in a wide range of everyday and industrial products and are essential components for electromobility. Whether in e-bikes, electric vehicles, or industrial applications – the demands on performance, safety, and service life are high. To ensure that a battery can withstand these stresses reliably throughout its entire lifecycle, various tests and simulations are conducted during the development phase.
Battery testing exposes the battery to real-world stress scenarios to analyze its behavior over its lifecycle. This includes simulating charge and discharge cycles, dynamic driving profiles, and various environmental conditions.
Battery simulation is used to develop components that are typically powered by batteries. It creates a virtual battery in which charge and aging states can be freely defined – with the goal of conducting tests safely and reproducibly. The use of simulated batteries also significantly reduces the need for safety measures such as explosion or fire protection.
Challenges in Battery Testing
- Long-term testing to determine degradation and service life
- Reproducible simulation of dynamic load profiles (e.g., acceleration/regeneration)
- Safe testing under varying environmental conditions (temperature, humidity)
Challenges in Battery Simulation
- Flexible configuration of any state of charge (SOC) or state of health (SOH)
- Real-time response to load changes of the component under test
- High accuracy and dynamics for realistic testing scenarios
