What Testing Equipment Do We Need Now For Tomorrow’s EV Batteries?
The soaring demand for EV batteries of increasing capacity has real implications for production and research testing. Managers can expand their battery test systems to increase their power, but they may not have enough space on the production floor. Already, voltage test requirements are exceeding the voltage limit of some test systems. As voltage and… Read more »
Testing BMS Controller and Charging Software In A Virtual Environment: Electromobility Virtualization
Shifting testing of Charging and BMS controller software towards virtual verification offers a powerful and cost-effective approach. This virtual validation environment eliminates the need for physical ECU hardware during initial testing, enabling earlier verification of critical controller algorithms. Virtual testing further enhances efficiency by allowing for flexible simulation speed and parallel test execution, significantly increasing… Read more »
