How to test the voltage of energy storage power supply

Can a high voltage power supply be tested?

Testing a high voltage power supply is not difficult. But it can be dangerous! The following "step-by-step" test procedure describes how to test each specification in a thorough and safe manner. These tests apply to all Glassman standard power supplies.

What is energy storage performance testing?

Performance testing is a critical component of safe and reliable deployment of energy storage systems on the electric power grid. Specific performance tests can be applied to individual battery cells or to integrated energy storage systems.

How do you measure the output voltage of a power supply?

To measure the output voltage of a power supply, refer to the test setup shown in Figure 2. A resistive divider is used to attenuate the high voltage by a known amount to a level where it can be measured conveniently by a standard DC voltmeter. RT represents the end-to-end resistance of the divider. It is also the load presented to the supply.

How do you test a power supply?

Test Setup. The power supply must be put in an environmental chamber whose temperature can be precisely controlled over the specified temperature range. Using the test setup of Section II, set all operating conditions to specified values. Starting at the lowest temperature, hold the temperature constant until a stable output voltage is obtained.

What is a stored energy test?

The goal of the stored energy test is to calculate how much energy can be supplied discharging, how much energy must be supplied recharging, and how efficient this cycle is. The test procedure applied to the DUT is as follows: Specify charge power Pcha and discharge power Pdis Preconditioning (only performed before testing starts):

What is battery capacity testing?

Capacity testing is performed to understand how much charge / energy a battery can store and how efficient it is. In energy storage applications, it is often just as important how much energy a battery can absorb, hence we measure both charge and discharge capacities.
