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.

Usable Energy: Key to Determining the True Cost of Advanced Lithium Ion Battery Systems for Electric Vehicles
Glenn Denomme, Vice President of Engineering, A123 Systems, Inc.
The success of the passenger electric vehicle industry relies heavily on reducing cost. Wide-spread consumer adoption of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) is only a possibility when these cars offer both a competitive initial cost and lower total cost of ownership over the life of the vehicle. To sustain long-term cost-competitiveness, automakers and suppliers must focus on reducing manufacturing costs, starting with the lithium ion battery systems that power these vehicles.
