SL1041B Scienlab Dynamic DC Emulator – Mid Power Series – Up to 50 kW

System Overview

The Scienlab Dynamic DC Emulator (DCE) Mid-Power Series from Keysight provides up to five power stages, called Regenerative Power Systems (RP79xx Series). It is a family of bi-directional, regenerative DC power supplies. The regenerative capability enables the energy normally consumed to be returned to the power grid cleanly, saving costs associated with energy consumption and cooling.

Additionally, by combining the seamless source and load functionality into a compact 3U-high package, not only do you save energy but also floor space and integration time. The Scienlab Dynamic DC Emulator Mid-Power Series with up to five RP79xx units delivers the fastest, most accurate, integrated egenerative power system:

•  Up to 950 V, up to ±100 A, up to 50 kW

•  Create up to 150 kW power (±300 A) or loading through easy paralleled connections of three racks

•  Operate in two-quadrant mode as power source and regenerative electronic load

•  Maximize throughput with fast output speed and sub-millisecond command-processing time

•  Reduce cost for cooling and electricity with eco-friendly, regenerative design

The integrated RP79xx is a part of Keysight’s HEV/EV Power Converter Test Solutions that gives you confidence to deploy high-voltage, high-power solutions to meet the fast paced, high-growth demands of the Hybrid-Electric/Electric Vehicle (HEV/EV) market.

This emulator can be used in combination with the Scienlab Charging Discovery System (CDS) to act as a DC power source (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) emulation) or to act as an electronic load, replacing a battery pack and feed energy back to the power grid (EV emulation).

Safety functionality

The Scienlab Dynamic DC Emulator Mid-Power Series provides several safety functions. These functions are described below:

•  Emergency stop button to disconnect in- and output of the Scienlab Dynamic DC Emulator Mid-Power Series (system option)

•  Integration of an insulation monitoring device (IMD) to monitor the insulation resistance between DC+/- to PE. The IMD is integrated into the emergency stop chain to ensure safe disconnection in case of an insulation fault (system option)

Note: The integration of an emergency stop button and an IMD is offered as one system option (SL1041B-IMD: IMD / E-Stop Option). When using the Scienlab Dynamic DC Emulator Mid-Power Series in direct physical connection with the CDS, the SL1041B does not require this option. When using the SL1041B with an external automation (e.g. Hardware in the Loop), this option is recommended.

Project Management, Consulting and Installation Services

Service features depend on the facilities, customer expertise, and overall scope of the project. For that reason, it is not possible to give exact service efforts without knowing the customer's requirements and goals. Keysight offers the following services to secure a successful project execution and reduce ramp-up time for our customers.

PS-XPM-100-SL Project management services

Keysight recommends project management services for each test bench project. By ordering the project management services, an experienced project manager is dedicated to your project and acts as a direct communication interface from Keysight to the customer's project management team. The project manager takes over the responsibility:

• To develop and manage the project plan.

•  To track project progress and milestones.

•  Communication project status regularly and ensure any unscheduled project events or project

•  deviations are communicated and promptly discussed with the customer project team.

•  To provide complete and accurate project documentation to the customer.

PS-XINS-100-SL Project installation services

These services provide installation expertise to manage, deliver and coordinate local facilities installation for the test bench. Specific installation efforts depend on the customer's individual facility, the locally available power and cooling and the test bench being delivered.

PS-XENG-100-SL Project engineering services

Project engineering services provide specialized engineering services during project development and implementation. The customers project team will have access to engineering expertise to aid in various tasks specific to their project including but not limited to – safety matrix and test bench guard, facilities and lab layout, special power requirements, etc.

PS-XCOM-100-SL Project commissioning services

Project commissioning services for the test solution provide an experienced test bench engineer to validate and complete the test bench setup in readiness for the customer's initial usage. It includes validating specific hardware and software configurations per the project requirements and any specific consulting agreed to beforehand, given the test bench's customer-specific usage.
