Battery Cell Simulator Advanced and Voltage Oscillation

The 2022 release described the Advanced module for the Battery Cell Simulator and Voltage Oscillation, a software function for testing battery management systems (BMS) with controlled interference.

Battery Cell Simulator Advanced can source and sink up to 7.5 A continuously per cell. Emulated cells can be cascaded up to a total stack voltage of 1500 V.

The BCS Compact Advanced modules supply up to 7.5 A at a cell voltage of 5 V, or 6 A at 8 V. Cable-break, cell-short-circuit and cell-polarity-reversal simulations remain available. Current and voltage measurement and generation retain precision of 2 mA and 0.5 mV.

When an electric vehicle charges with alternating current (AC), its on-board charger can expose the battery management system (BMS) to electromagnetic interference. BMS filters need to suppress that interference while preserving dynamic cell behaviour.

Voltage Oscillation adds a quasi-sine interference signal to the DC cell voltage for this test. Set the amplitude individually for each cell up to 35 mV (70 mVpp), with a frequency from 1 to 1000 Hz.

The 2022 release offered Voltage Oscillation as an update for Battery Cell Simulator Gen. 8, and for Gen. 7 on request. The update was covered by software maintenance at no additional cost.
