El proveedor alem\u00e1n de servicios de certificaci\u00f3n T\u00dcV Rheinland y la start-up ConAC, con sede en Aquisgr\u00e1n, han anunciado la creaci\u00f3n de un laboratorio de pruebas para bater\u00edas de propulsi\u00f3n de autom\u00f3viles el\u00e9ctricos. Est\u00e1 previsto que el laboratorio, que se convertir\u00e1 en uno de los \"mayores y m\u00e1s modernos centros independientes de pruebas de bater\u00edas de Europa\", comience a funcionar en septiembre de 2021 en el parque industrial germano-holand\u00e9s Avantis.<\/p>\n
Los dos socios estiman el volumen de inversi\u00f3n en las instalaciones de 2.000 metros cuadrados en 22 millones de euros; cuando est\u00e9 plenamente operativo, el centro de pruebas dar\u00e1 empleo a 25 personas. El centro de pruebas ser\u00e1 explotado oficialmente por la empresa conjunta T\u00dcV Rheinland Automotive Component Testing GmbH, en la que T\u00dcV Rheinland tendr\u00e1 la mayor\u00eda (74,9%). ConAC (25,1%) es una filial de PEM Aachen, cuyo principal accionista es el cofundador de StreetScooter, Achim Kampker.<\/p>\n
\"Para nosotros, en T\u00dcV Rheinland, esto significa entrar en el campo de las pruebas de bater\u00edas de tracci\u00f3n para coches el\u00e9ctricos\", afirma Michael F\u00fcbi, director general de T\u00dcV Rheinland. \"Llevamos a\u00f1os probando bater\u00edas, pero no para coches el\u00e9ctricos. Son dimensiones muy diferentes\". El nuevo centro no probar\u00e1 las celdas individuales, sino los m\u00f3dulos o paquetes, incluidos los controles y el cableado.<\/p>\n
No se construir\u00e1 ning\u00fan edificio nuevo en el parque industrial para el laboratorio de pruebas. En su lugar, se utilizar\u00e1 un edificio existente del parque industrial junto con la Universidad RWTH de Aquisgr\u00e1n, PEM Motion y \"otras empresas tecnol\u00f3gicas de nueva creaci\u00f3n\". La frontera germano-holandesa pasar\u00e1 directamente por el laboratorio.<\/p>\n
Debe ser posible probar in situ sistemas de bater\u00edas de hasta 800 kilogramos de peso. Se trata de \"pruebas basadas en especificaciones obligatorias para la homologaci\u00f3n y el transporte\", por ejemplo, la norma ECE R100 para la prueba y homologaci\u00f3n de bater\u00edas de iones de litio o la norma UN 38.3. Adem\u00e1s, se llevar\u00e1n a cabo \"pruebas m\u00e1s amplias y voluntarias basadas en las especificaciones del fabricante\", por ejemplo para una garant\u00eda de calidad adicional. Pueden realizarse pruebas el\u00e9ctricas y mec\u00e1nicas, simulaciones ambientales y pruebas de uso indebido. En general, los sistemas de bater\u00edas pueden cargarse y descargarse in situ con una potencia nominal de hasta 500 kW.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

At the start of operations in September 2021, the existing building will be equipped with climate chambers for environmental simulations (temperatures from -40 to +90 degrees Celsius, relative humidity 10 to 95%), corrosion chambers or test facilities for splash water. In April 2021, work is to begin on an extension building, which is to be erected next to the main building and is scheduled to go into operation in June 2022. Test facilities for destructive testing are then to be installed in the new building.<\/p>\n
In addition to a dust chamber, the extension building will also house a facility for vibration testing and, above all, the “bunker” for destructive tests such as “drop, pressure, crushing, fire simulation, nail penetration, over and deep discharge”. “Destructive tests of vehicle batteries are a special challenge”, says F\u00fcbi about the special bunker. “Enormous amounts of energy are bound up in such large batteries for cars. These must be controlled if we want to destroy the batteries for test purposes”.<\/p>\n
At the digitally transmitted press conference, F\u00fcbi and Kampker emphasised that there is already too little testing capacity in Europe. According to the head of T\u00dcV Rheinland, the industry would have to wait six to eight months for “big tests” and the upcoming flood of models would aggravate the situation. “With the test centre, we can not only help to get more electric cars on the road but also maintain value creation in Germany,” adds Kampker.<\/p>\n
Indeed, in recent weeks and months, other providers have opened or announced test centres for all aspects of electromobility, some with a different focus. SGS’ e-mobility laboratory, which opened in July, is designed not only for traction batteries but also for charging technology such as plug connections for high- and low-voltage lines. In the third quarter of this year, FEV, the Aachen-based vehicle development service provider, will put into operation a modern development and test centre for high-voltage batteries called eDLP at its Sandersdorf-Brehna site in Saxony-Anhalt. At the end of September, T\u00dcV S\u00dcD opened a mobility and drive centre<\/a> at its Heimsheim site near Stuttgart. However, the centre is designed more for the drives and their emissions than for the batteries. In addition, there are further industrial facilities at Seat or the development and production service provider Valmet Automotive<\/a>, to name but a few examples.<\/p>\n Those involved see the cooperation behind the new test centre as a unique selling point. With the RWTH Aachen University, a university is also on the site, and according to F\u00fcbi, the cooperation with PEM will also result in new offerings: “In conjunction with the PEM Group, we can map the entire value chain – from the development of the battery packs by PEM, which we as T\u00dcV Rheinland do not normally do, to the testing of the finished battery”.<\/p>\n PEM shareholder Kampker, who attended the round table as a representative of ConAC, underlined another aspect: “Testing is currently an important topic in the industry in terms of capacity, but also in terms of processes,” said the Aachen professor. “We not only need to know what we are testing but also how we are testing it. If we design the tests intelligently, for example, we can cover several standards with a single test”. However, no details were given at the press conference.<\/p>\n With reporting by Sebastian Schaal, Germany.<\/em><\/p>\n Source: press conference online, press release via email.<\/em><\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142493"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":226042,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142493\/revisions\/226042"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
