Simulated Fuel Cell Power Supply for Hybrid Vehicles

This simulator system is for use alongside hybrid cars and fuel cells for testing of motors and inverters.

The development of hybrid cars and fuel cell vehicles picking up pace.

Hybrid cars, which run on electric motors at low speed, keeping NOx and CO2 emissions low, fuel cell vehicles and electric vehicles are becoming a reality. This test equipment simulates the characteristics of these various battery-type devices in testing inverters and motors.

[Features]

1. Energy saving operations.

Acceleration and deceleration puts constant stress on the motor. Under deceleration, the motor becomes a generator, returning energy to the AC input, to be used again during acceleration. This energy saving function returns the power supply to an alternating current and offsets the power consumption when accelerating.

2. High speed response.

The fuel cell system is designed to keep output stable even when the load changes rapidly. The fuel cell simulator mimics this characteristic using high-speed controls. This is very important in the assesment of motor performance.

3. Multi functions allow various evaluation tests.

* The system can simulate various electric car batteries besides fuel cell batteries.
*It also has an electronic load function that can simulate the motor and load of a battery, as well as the battery itself.
* By combining the battery charging function and electric loading function, we can easily simulate actual continuous use situations for the battery.
