Highlights

Centralized Management, Distributed Power, Allocated Excellence

Electric vehicle technology is evolving, with battery capacities, power, and currents needed to test them continuing to grow. A new approach is needed as EV battery test labs increasingly experience:

  • Higher current demand driven by large-capacity batteries
  • Limited grid availability that cannot easily scale
  • Highly dynamic test profiles, where only short phases require maximum power
  • Inefficient, static power provisioning across distributed test systems 

The Scienlab Power Allocation Management Solution addresses these challenges with a centralized, reliable, and highly scalable power allocation architecture built for modern high-current test environments.

A smarter architecture for high-power test labs

At the core of the solution is a combined, regenerative power array that forms a shared pool. Regenerative Power Units allow power to be allocated and released in 100 kW increments, ensuring each test bench receives precisely the power it needs.

The allocated power is handled at each test bench by a control unit that provides electrical connections and measurement, test-bench automation, and safety control, as well as seamless integration with the central power pool.

After a test or test step has been finalized, the power is freed again and can be reallocated. This allows for reducing the total installed power and ensures a manageable grid load.

Key capabilities

  • Dynamic power allocation
    • Allocating power to channels in 100 kW increments
    • Load free reallocation between test steps
    • Centralized management ensures consistent, reliable, and precise allocation
  • Modular and scalable system design
    • Scale maximum power and channel count to the facility’s needs
    • Add capacity incrementally as projects and products grow
  • Flexible test bench configurations. Per test bench, 1 to 16 channels can be configured with:
    • Voltage options: 1000 V, 1200 V, 1500 V
    • Current options: 1000 A, 1500 A, 2000 A
    • Single output or switchable secondary output
    • Up to 4 auxiliary low-power channels
    • Fine-control ranges:
      • Current: 0–50 A or 0–200 A
      • Voltage: 20–300 V
