Battery Energy Storage System (ESS) Test
This presentation examines the energy storage system data acquisition and control (ESS DAC) system used to test ESSs at the Battery and Energy Storage Technology (BEST) Test and Commercialization Center in Rochester, NY. This system performs functional, performance, and applications testing of ESSs from 1 kW to more than 2 MW. This presentation includes an overview of the system architecture and explores a recent test scenario for community ESS testing with recycled batteries.

This paper describes the Energy Storage System Data Acquisition and Control (ESS DAC) system used for testing energy storage systems at the Battery Energy Storage Technology Test and Commercialization Center (BEST T&CC) in Rochester, NY. The system performs functional, performance, and application testing of energy storage systems from 1kW to more than 2MW.
Learn how to choose the right embedded reconfigurable I/O (RIO) technology to monitor and control digital energy systems. Explore design considerations such as the impact of measurement resolution and sampling rate on signal harmonics. Also examine ways to implement synchronization in high-channel-count power measurements and to add external isolation to NI modules for high voltage and current signals.
Explore the critical factors to consider when testing energy storage systems, such as isolation, noise, and simultaneous measurements. Hear lessons learned from testing and simulating systems ranging from electric vehicle (EV) battery packs to utility-scale (2 MW) grid storage systems.
Customized battery cycling and control
The Mixed Signal Battery Test System is an automated test platform designed to meet today’s advanced battery test requirements. The platform is ideal for testing a range of battery cells and packs, and can be used in applications such as research and design, quality control, and end of line manufacturing. Its distributed architecture provides a scalable solution with configurable system components to accommodate specific application needs.
