Bi-directional capability for power sourcing and power sinking

Keysight DC grid emulators are high-performance, bidirectional power sources engineered to simulate DC power environments. They are designed to handle high power and voltage levels along with exceptional regenerative efficiency that significantly reduces operational costs by returning absorbed energy to the grid. These emulators excel at realistically emulating battery dynamics, allowing for safe and accurate testing of battery-dependent components without real batteries. Furthermore, their high dynamics and fast response times ensure precise control for transient and fault condition testing. These comprehensive capabilities are vital to automotive and electrical engineers advancing e-mobility applications, particularly in high-power DC fast charging, DC microgrids, and renewable energy storage systems. Request a quote for one of our popular configurations today. Need help selecting?

High power, high voltage

Designed to handle modern high-power demands, up to 1500 V and 300 kW, while being modular and parallelizable for testing heavy-duty EV charging or large industrial DC microgrids.

Bidirectional efficiency

Keysight’s DC grid emulators can both source and sink, which reduces energy consumption and operating costs when combined with high (>96%) regenerative efficiency.

Dynamic battery emulation

Realistically emulate the dynamic behavior of large EV batteries, including state of charge (SoC), internal resistance changes, and temperature effects, without the risks of using an actual battery pack.

Fast response time

Boast high dynamics, fast output speeds, and sub-millisecond command-processing times to accurately track rapid changes in current and voltage crucial for testing transient responses and fault conditions.

Extendable Cabinet, Compact Cabinet, Mobile Cabinet Maximum power
50 kW to 300 kW Maximum voltage
950 to 1500

The SL1810A DC Emulator provides source and regenerative sink capabilities at 1000 V, 1200 V, or 1500 V, 300 A, and 100 kW in a compact cabinet.

Meet the SL1800A Scienlab Regenerative DC Emulator – High-Power Series

Keysight’s SL1800A Scienlab Regenerative DC Emulator – High-Power Series enables users to emulate the large batteries in electric vehicles. The bidirectional power flow allows emulation of both power sourcing applications, such as traction inverter test, as well as power-absorbing (sinking) applications, such as EV charging. Being regenerative, the power absorbed is delivered back to the grid, saving on energy and cooling costs. The SL1800A Series is fully integrated with the SL1040A Scienlab Charging Discovery System. The SL1093A Scienlab Charging Discover Software fully automates DC charging applications to many different test standards. With bi-directionality, integrated DC voltage and current controllers, high dynamics, and its regenerative energy feedback capacity, the Scienlab Dynamic DC Emulator provides an all-in-one system for efficient and effective testing of the power electronic components in electric vehicles (EV) and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE).

Fully integrated with SL1040A Scienlab Charging Discovery System and SL1093A Scienlab Charging Discover Software Available for high voltage, high-power applications
Energy-efficient source and sink mode (96%) Extendable to meet future, increased power needs while meeting today’s budget
Systems in parallel allow future-proven 1.5 MW power
