Charging mode is to provide at least 100A charging current in a Constant Voltage mode, 150A discharge in a regenerative power discharge mode at a 70% minimum efficiency. This allows for the test system to be used on 270V and 28V batteries for testing while controlling accuracy.

Test system shall provide Power Output to charge and discharge Devices Under Test (DUT) and must be able to limit charge and discharge to provide either Constant Voltage, Constant Current, Constant Power, or Fixed Resistance levels to meet charging and discharging requirements.

Power output rating per channel is to exceed 52.5kW per channel between 5°C and 30°C room temperature or 150kW at any time across all 8 stations for a 45 minute duration.

Each test station shall be able to run independent tests or be combined in parallel fashion as needed to increase current requirements (parallel configurations must be in the same voltage range setting) to 1100A minimum for discharge durations not to exceed 30 seconds (Constant Voltage, Constant Power, or Fixed Resistor Discharges). Voltage limitation to prevent exceeding power dissipation levels can exist.

System response to reach the final Resistance or Voltage setting on Constant Voltage, Constant Power, or Fixed Resistor Discharges shall not exceed 20ms even when channels are combined in parallel up to 1050A.

Test system shall have automatic range limiting and switching of both charging and discharging functions to allow stability to ±1% max of voltage or current levels from the power supply mode (either 400V or 50V settings) while operating within its specification allowed current levels and power dissipation levels.

Testers to have integrated safety features that stop and abort testing when exceeding the current level or power dissipation levels of the test station. This should shut down only the individual stations with a reason clearly documented.

Testers to have integrated safety features that stop and abort testing when exceeding the current level or power dissipation levels of the entire system if system level requirements are exceeded such as 4 stations each pulling 50kW of power at the same time.

The fluctuation in current will not exceed ±2% of the programed / operating current for any charge or discharge rates for the duration of the test.

Test system shall be able to record Actual Test time, Actual date and time, step charge times, step discharge times, actual total charge times, actual total discharge times, Temperature readings, Voltage readings, and Current readings for each test station. This data is to be stored in the system and can be saved off to excel compatible data files for analysis by Engineers.

Each data reading being recorded should be programmable from 1ms to at least 10 minutes (we can accept longer durations if it is already part of the system) depending on the need and accuracy of the data being recorded

The test system will be able to bypass readings and still perform the required testing of the above inputs if they are not connected or being used for the particular test.

When tests are interrupted for any reason the tester shall remember its location in the test and be able to be resumed with the subsequent data automatically added to the original test data, with the reason for the interruption documented in the break (loss of power; Channel 3 temperature out of limit, Channel 5 voltage out of limit, etc.).

Power to be 3 Phase; 50 Hz– 60 Hz; 380V – 480V AC power at 250 A Maximum and 220V single phase power at 30A maximum (Target values we can discuss if needed).

The test system shall be able to be programmed with up to 300 steps of various charging and discharging functions per profile with each function having controlled limit tolerances and safety limit tolerances incorporated for test integrity. Repeat commands need to be available to run the programmed profile again up to 100,000 cycles

The test system shall be able to retain at least 200 profiles in its system memory. The ability to print out the profile in a manner that can be graphed, or the graph of the profile for simulation and verification is preferred.
