In this video, we highlight many of the features of our Regenerative Grid Simulator including high efficiency, high output and range, parallel operating ability, line disturbance simulation ability, and STEP or PULSE mode operations.

As electric vehicle (EV) technology advances, the on-board charger (OBC) has become a core module integrating power electronics and vehicle communications. Because architectures and protocols vary by OEM, test systems face varied and demanding requirements, especially in terms of real-time responsiveness and protocol handling.
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.
