Key characteristics
The mission of CEA Tech Pays de la Loire is to develop and disseminate technologies to benefit the industry by ensuring a “bridge” between the scientific world and the economic world. It provides access to the key generic technologies developed by the other CEA operational divisions.
Key characteristics of the Energy storage and management – SEANERGY;
- A high power battery test bench (800 kW) associated with a climate chamber of large dimensions
- A system design and validation environment through emulation of complex electrical networks
- Upgradeable to hydrogen fuel cell
Equipment
- High capacity battery test bench (60-1000V, ±800 A, 800 kW)
- Electrical components test bench (24 kW / 60 V)
- Climate chamber (52 m3, -30 / 70 °C, hygrometry setup)
- Real time simulator and controller for network and electrical components
- Facilities for hydrogen fuel cell
- Simulation an control design software
Services
- Characterization of electrical and electrochemical performance of batteries in extreme environmental conditions
- Characterization of components performance (converters, batteries, super capacities)
- Design and validation of BMS (Battery Management System) and EMS (Energy Management System) algorithms for systems and network
- Ageing battery studies
- Functional and non-functional testing of components in a simulated real time environment (HiL approach)
