High-Voltage Battery Simulator and Test Systems Critical for Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Development

Randall Beattie
SAKOR, Technologies, Inc.

High voltage battery simulator and test systems are essential for conducting testing of the high voltage DC power systems that are such a critical element of electric (EV) and hybrid/electric (HEV) vehicles. To accurately test a high voltage hybrid or electric drivetrain, you need to be able to provide precise, repeatable high-voltage DC power.

So You’ve Been Placed on Notice…Now What?

Jonathan Jordan BSEE, CFEI
Goodson Engineering

Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries have received much attention in recent years by the public at large but also by fire investigators and forensic engineers. This attention is primarily due to product recalls and exothermic battery failures caught on video and posted to the Internet. Read more about So You’ve Been Placed on Notice…Now What?

Nearing the Promise of the Micro-Hybrid Vehicles: Technology Improvements and New Markets

Salil Soman, Director of Systems Engineering, PowerGenix

Until very recently, many consumers were unfamiliar with the type of vehicle defined as micro-hybrid. Even though leading research firms such as Lux Research have been predicting the vast proliferation of micro-hybrids for years; the most recent study predicts that there will be 39 million on the road by 2017. Outside of Europe, the technology has remained in the shadows of flashier electric vehicles (EVs) and more popular and ubiquitous hybrid vehicles such as the Toyota Prius.
