The sunlight simulation system communicates with the main control system via RS485 / Modbus and adjusts the light intensity within the range of 600 to 1200 W / m² according to the light intensity control command sent by the main control system, with uniformity controlled within 15%. This provides the test piece with simulated environments of different combinations of high and low temperatures and sunlight, enabling the test to be conducted under conditions close to real-world usage scenarios, greatly improving the accuracy and reliability of the test results.
[0040] Specifically, the high and low temperature environment chamber is a core component of the environmental simulation module, capable of simulating various climatic conditions ranging from extreme cold to high temperatures. Through advanced refrigeration and heating technologies, the chamber's temperature control range is -40℃ to 60℃, with temperature fluctuations controlled within ±2℃. This high-precision temperature control allows the chamber to simulate various extreme temperature environments that the test specimen might encounter in actual use, such as low-temperature start-up conditions in cold regions and long-term operation conditions in high-temperature regions.

The high and low temperature environmental chamber adjusts its internal temperature and humidity according to the received temperature and humidity setpoints; the sunlight simulation system adjusts the light source power according to the light intensity control commands; and the oncoming fan adjusts its speed according to the wind speed setpoints. Simultaneously, these devices feed real-time operating data back to the main control system, which dynamically adjusts the test parameters based on this data to ensure the accuracy and stability of the testing process. This collaborative working mode enables the testing system to provide a highly realistic testing environment for the test piece, thereby more accurately evaluating its performance under various extreme conditions.
[0044] Preferably, the digital twin and simulation module includes a twin system platform, a 3D digital twin model, and a cloud database, wherein the data terminal of the twin system platform is electrically connected to the data terminal of the power testing module, the cloud database, and the 3D digital twin model.

Through the cloud database, testers can access historical test data at any time for comparative analysis, thereby optimizing test strategies and improving test processes. Furthermore, the cloud database supports multi-user access, facilitating collaboration and communication among testers in different locations. The benefits of this design lie in its improved data storage and management efficiency, while also providing testers with a wider range of data resources and analytical tools.
[0049] The main control system in the powertrain testing module transmits real-time collected test data to the digital twin platform.

This collaborative working model makes the testing process more intelligent and efficient, enabling real-time and accurate acquisition of test results and timely adjustment of test parameters based on real-time data, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the test.
[0050] Preferably, the power supply and charging module includes two sets of battery simulators and charging piles, wherein the battery simulators are connected to the test piece through the charging piles, and the output end of the battery simulators is electrically connected to the power test module.
[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the power supply and charging module provides stable power support for the entire system. Its output terminal is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the power testing module to ensure that equipment such as the dynamometer can operate normally. At the same time, the module also has an interface with external power supply facilities, which facilitates fast charging and power supply switching under different site conditions, improving the flexibility and practicality of the system.
[0052] Each battery simulator has a 2×400kW output capacity, providing up to 1200V / 1200A of voltage and current output.

For example, safety sensors can include smoke sensors, temperature sensors, and combustible gas sensors, which can monitor smoke concentration, temperature changes, and combustible gas leaks in the test environment in real time. The output of the safety sensors is electrically connected to the input of the fire protection system. Once an abnormality is detected, such as excessively high temperature or smoke concentration, the safety sensor will immediately send an alarm signal to the fire protection system. Upon receiving the alarm signal, the fire protection system will quickly activate fire extinguishing devices, such as a heptafluoropropane fire extinguishing system, to extinguish the fire in the test area. Simultaneously, the data terminal of the fire protection system is electrically connected to the data terminal of the power test module, enabling real-time feedback of the fire protection system's status information to the main control system of the power test module, allowing test personnel to promptly understand the safety situation and take appropriate measures. The beneficial effect of this design is that it enables real-time monitoring and automatic early warning of the test environment, ensuring that timely measures can be taken in the event of a dangerous situation to prevent the accident from escalating.
[0059] Secondly, the rapid decoupling device is mechanically connected to the test piece. During testing, in the event of a battery fire or other emergency, the rapid decoupling device can mechanically and electrically separate the test piece from the test equipment within a very short time (e.g., within 3 seconds), thus preventing the dangerous situation from escalating further. The advantage of this design is that it can quickly disconnect the test piece from the test equipment in an emergency, reducing the risk of equipment damage and personal injury.
[0060] Finally, cameras are used for real-time monitoring of the test area. The cameras are electrically connected to the input of the power test module via the monitoring center, which transmits the video signals captured by the cameras to the main control system of the power test module in real time. Test personnel can observe the test area in real time through the monitoring screen of the main control system, promptly identify potential safety hazards, and take appropriate measures. The advantage of this design is that it provides test personnel with an intuitive view of the test site, facilitating real-time monitoring and timely handling of emergencies.
[0061] The various devices in the safety and monitoring module work collaboratively to ensure the safety of the testing process. For example, when testers discover an anomaly and trigger the emergency stop device, the emergency stop signal is immediately transmitted to the main control system of the power testing module. The main control system then quickly issues a shutdown command, stopping the operation of all test equipment. Simultaneously, safety sensors monitor potential hazards in the test environment in real time. Once an anomaly is detected, an alarm signal is immediately sent to the fire suppression system, which quickly activates the fire extinguishing equipment. A rapid decoupling device quickly disconnects the test piece from the test equipment in emergencies, preventing the dangerous situation from spreading further. Cameras transmit real-time images of the test area to the main control system through the monitoring center, allowing testers to promptly understand the situation on-site and take appropriate measures.
[0062] In summary, the mobile, modular, high-dynamic-response four-motor power testing system integrates advanced power testing modules, data acquisition and control modules, environmental simulation modules, digital twin and simulation modules, power supply and charging modules, and safety and monitoring modules. It aims to provide an efficient, flexible, and intelligent solution for full-condition testing of new energy vehicles, powertrains, and components. The system adopts a modular design, with modules connected via quick-plug interfaces, facilitating system assembly, disassembly, and transportation. Its containerized structure meets road transport standards, enabling disassembly and transportation within 7 days for rapid deployment to indoor or outdoor sites. This design not only improves the system's flexibility and adaptability but also meets testing requirements under different site conditions, significantly shortening test preparation time and improving testing efficiency.
[0063] In summary, the mobile, modular, high dynamic response four-motor power testing system integrates multiple advanced modules and technologies to achieve efficient, flexible, and intelligent testing functions. Its high-precision power testing capabilities, extreme environment simulation capabilities, real-time data acquisition and processing capabilities, digital twin and simulation functions, stable power supply support, and comprehensive safety monitoring system make it a one-stop, efficient testing solution for new energy vehicle R&D, certification, and fault reproduction.
