00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:06.640
Smart electrification of cars and laboratories
2
00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:09.200
is key for the cost-effective decarbonization
3
00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:10.840
pathways for e-mobility.
4
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.600
The electrification of cars in a mass scale
5
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:17.880
starts in the first steps in huge smart laboratories.
6
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.080
Just like for the vehicles, the principle applies
7
00:00:22.080 --> 00:00:24.480
to the laboratories that they must be designed
8
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:26.200
as efficiently as possible.
9
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.880
As a consultant, I evaluate test equipment
10
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.520
for batteries and cells which are energy efficient
11
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.880
but also can reduce the total cost of ownership for the customers.
12
00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:50.360
Since energy prices soared in 2022,
13
00:00:50.360 --> 00:00:53.800
energy intensive industries like car makers or test labs
14
00:00:53.800 --> 00:00:56.400
needs to look into their efficiencies a lot more
15
00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:58.400
to reduce the cost of testing.
16
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.000
Not only do they need to be operationally efficient,
17
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.280
but under the pressure of their customers they now need
18
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:08.520
to look into reducing the cost of energy
19
00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:10.560
to reduce the cost of the service they offer
20
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:11.640
to their customers.
21
00:01:15.160 --> 00:01:18.160
As a result, low efficiency testing equipment
22
00:01:18.160 --> 00:01:20.280
will become obsolete in mature markets
23
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.800
like Europe or America in the near future.
24
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.680
At Keysight, we understand efficiency in laboratories
25
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.440
to mean two main areas:
26
00:01:31.440 --> 00:01:33.640
Power efficiency and operational efficiency.
27
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.920
We guarantee power efficiency by using the latest
28
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:39.480
semiconductors and sophisticated control strategies.
29
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:41.120
With our partially patented approaches,
30
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.320
we guarantee high efficiency of the battery test systems
31
00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:47.520
of over 95% for a wide power range
32
00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:49.080
under real test conditions.
33
00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:52.240
But that’s not all,
34
00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:54.560
The operation of a large laboratories with thousands
35
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:57.240
of test channels with different test procedures
36
00:01:57.240 --> 00:01:59.960
also requires a sophisticated operating strategy.
37
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.560
So it is important to develop an operational strategy
38
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:05.040
for the individual lab.
39
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.080
A very simple measure is to switch on only those systems
40
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.680
that really make a test contribution at that moment.
41
00:02:11.320 --> 00:02:12.480
This lowers the grid load.
42
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.360
We also must keep the ratio between
43
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:18.400
peak power and average power for the laboratories
44
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.120
to the minimum grid load as small as possible.
45
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.360
This can be done through the regenerative
46
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.280
use of energy in the test systems,
47
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.640
and delivered via our sophisticated Pathwave Lab Operations
48
00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:31.640
for battery test software to ensure
49
00:02:31.640 --> 00:02:34.480
the operational efficiency of the individual laboratory.
50
00:02:41.160 --> 00:02:44.200
Since 2011, it is our mission to support our customers
51
00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:47.040
in the development of high-performance battery systems
52
00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:49.280
to make them efficient and durable
53
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.400
to accelerate the transformation to a
54
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:53.400
CO2-neutral mobility.
55
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:55.480
For this purpose, we build and operate
56
00:02:55.480 --> 00:02:58.080
state-of-the-art test benches in Bochum.
57
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.640
On more than 4,600 square meters of
58
00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:02.480
laboratory space, we are testing
59
00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:04.640
cells, modules, and battery systems.
60
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.480
We also use modular configurable
61
00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:10.120
Keysight cell and battery testers in our laboratories,
62
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.800
which deliver reproducible and precise results.
63
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.040
Our test bench automation reduces
64
00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:18.960
the energy consumption of the
65
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.520
laboratories to a minimum.
66
00:03:22.440 --> 00:03:24.920
This is how Keysight supports customers towards a
67
00:03:24.920 --> 00:03:27.600
cleaner, cost-effective decarbonization,
68
00:03:27.600 --> 00:03:30.200
and more sustainable world through the power
69
00:03:30.200 --> 00:03:32.160
of future-oriented electric vehicle test.
