900 EX

The 900 EX is ideal for testing and emulating energy storage and drive train components. The increased performance (rise time/slew rate) and increased accuracy make the 900 EX ideal for applications like Heavy Industrial (ships, trains, trucks, and aircraft), Military (hybrid drives and aircraft launch systems), Power Electronics (solar panels, inverters), and Hardware in the loop testing. Digital controls protect critical systems and components, and the system can self-adjust to external environmental events like unstable power sources. The bi-directional system can operate at ± 250kW, or combined, it can scale to ±1MW.

The 900 EX, with new LCD touchscreen display, is an intelligent system that will give you the accuracy, speed, and control to add value to your tests.

Setting a World Land Speed Record The Ohio State University’s Center for Automotive Research (CAR), in conjunction with Venturi Automobiles, were able to set this record in 2010 – and then again in 2016. The third generation of the student-built Venturi Buckeye Bullet (VBB3) held the record of being the world’s fastest electric car, with an average speed of 341.4 mph and a top speed of 358 mph. A 38-foot long, 8,000 pound vehicle with 1.5 megawatts of power divided into two traction axles and a primary braking system consisting of a parachute, the VBB3 represents a truly unique electric automotive project.Built to be rugged and resilient, the 900 was able to handle the long trip, rough terrain and salty environment it encounters at the Bonneville Salt Flats for the team to go seamlessly from lab to speedway.

Webasto 900

Heavy Duty Dual Channel Cycling Station

The Webasto 900 is a heavy duty test solution. With greater voltage, current, and power capability, this system is ideal for testing and emulating energy storage and drivetrain components of large electric and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), such as buses, trucks and military vehicles. The 900 is deployed worldwide to support the development of fuel cell buses, hybrid locomotives and other HEVs.

“The 900 enables us to push EV technology to its limit – and beyond – without risking the Venturi Buckeye Bullet’s systems. With help from Webasto...we are able to accomplish things that we never even dreamed possible, and are empowering the movement for EV adoption.”

Matile D’arpino, Research Associate Center for Automotive Research, Ohio State University

Spiers New Technology Maximizes The Value Of Used Advanced Batteries Dirk Spiers, a problem solver with a passion for renewable energy, saw the popularity of EVs rise, but noticed a problem that wasn‘t getting a lot of attention. Used EV batteries were being cast aside, their useful lives cut short because they weren‘t being repaired or refurbished. Tossing aside used batteries can cause numerous negative effects, including the lost value that could have been drawn from the discarded units and environmental harm. The ABC-150 became an essential component to the Spiers New Technology 4R system of repairing, remanufacturing, refurbishing and repurposing advanced batteries. Compatible with different battery chemistries, SNT was able to reliably test approximately 10,000 battery modules on a weekly basis, making the ABC-150 ideal for their unique operations.
