The Chroma 17050 is not only a BBU testing system but also sets a new benchmark for BBU performance- driving the data center industry towards higher efficiency, intelligence, and green energy. Through flexible recipe editing, rapid data acquisition, and real-time monitoring, it helps users comprehensively improve the efficiency and quality of BBU testing.
Chroma’s regenerative charge/discharge test systems provide comprehensive solutions for both low- and high-voltage BBU modules. In addition to assessing BBU capacity, charge/discharge performance, and long-term durability, Chroma’s 17020C/17050 test systems also enable highly realistic simulation of actual server environments, ensuring accurate and dependable test results.
The Chroma 17040E Battery Pack Test System features energy recovery capability with more than 93% efficiency, enabling significant energy savings, reducing harmonic distortion, and eliminating the heat and waste associated with traditional discharge methods—all in line with modern environmental standards.
With the rapid expansion of AI application scenarios, the floating-point operations per second (FLOPS) of large language models (LLMs) surpassed 1025 by the end of 2024. The power demand from high-density integrated AI GPUs used in training and inference continues to climb.
Applying a sufficiently high test voltage and detecting electrical flashovers during the test can help to identify defective cells that pose a risk of future internal short circuits (due to partial punctures or perforations in the separator).
As electric vehicle technology advances into the fast charging era, lithium-ion batteries face increasingly severe challenges regarding safety and lifespan under high-rate charging. One of the most critical concerns is the phenomenon of lithium plating—when the charging current is too high or the temperature is too low, lithium-ions fails to intercalate effectively into the anode and instead deposit as metallic lithium on the surface of the graphite.
Chroma has introduced a battery reliability test system integrated with EIS functionality, enabling automated switching between DC charge/discharge and AC impedance measurements. This innovation eliminates the need for separate EIS testing stations: battery connections are made once with no need for repeated handling or rewiring, which significantly reduces labor demands and operational errors.
The Chroma 8630 BMS Power HIL Testbed incorporates this technology to form a complete BMS test platform by combining cell simulators with virtual DUTs. This supports dynamic real and virtual scenarios, fault injection, and model integration testing, significantly reducing cost of test and making it a highly efficient tool for battery development and testing.
The Chroma 17010/17010H Battery Cell Charge/Discharge Test System has been adopted and endorsed by major battery cell manufacturers, automotive companies, and energy storage system providers worldwide. This is due not only to its high accuracy in charge and discharge measurements, low output noise, and multi-layered software and hardware safety features, but also to its flexible integration of control commands for safety-oriented environmental chambers.
Chroma has partnered with Altair, a global leader in computational intelligence, and Tron Energy to launch an advanced dynamic battery charge-discharge testing collaboration. This project aims to enable verification and enhancement of battery performance and lifespan through leading-edge equipment and precise simulation technology.
