With its computer control capabilities, the MT-30 can be programmed to emulate
a battery. The MT-30 would first be put into constant Voltage Mode at the
desired
state of charge
. As current is drawn from the MT-30, the voltage would
be lowered as if the “battery” was being discharged.
Similarly, as the “battery
”
is charged, the voltage would be increased. The
algorithm to determine how voltage changes in response to charging and
discharging would be determined by the user, based on the size and type of
battery to be emulated, and then programmed into the MT-30 Remote Operation
System.
Other Applications
As the above examples illustrate, the MT-30 is very flexible and versatile so it
can be used for many other applications. Testing or emulation of almost any DC
power system can be achieved with the powerful computer controlled testing
capabilities.
The MT-30 may be valuable even for very simple applications such as
discharging batteries and putting their power back onto the utility grid. With a
basic understanding of the system, users can employ the MT-30 in a virtually
limitless set of applications.
The MT-30 base unit can be customized for particular applications with ROS
scripts. Contact AeroVironment Customer Service for more information.
