LAB

Our lab is located at 1015 AutoLab.

Instruments:

Test Station 1. Battery string balancing, estimation and thermal dynamics for battery modules up to 12 series-connected cells.

The hardware for this test station is integrated with A&D I-test software to enable automated testing, cell balancing and a Matlab (Simulink) interface for real-time hardware in the loop simulation.

The hardware consists of:

Test Station 2. Battery Cell testing, and 3-cell short stacks.

Test Station 3. 100A 200V Bitrode LCV battery cycler used for the Solar Car Team’s race pack testing. 

Test Station 4. Biologic BCS-815, 8-channel 15A cell tester with build-in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) capability.
