With the growth in use of renewable sources of power, the energy storage systems (ESS) market, particularly battery systems, is set to soar. ESS designers are selecting batteries to replace traditional mechanical means of energy storage such as hydro pumps.
Testing batteries is an energy-consuming task. The batteries are charged, typically through an electronic circuit, and then discharged to a dissipative load, from which the stored energy cannot be recovered and so it is wasted. If a bidirectional circuit is used in place of the traditional charger, one could recycle the energy during the discharge test.
