Battery Prototype and Test Facility

TAE Power Solutions has opened a new battery prototyping and testing facility at the former Dudley Railway Station

The site will make use of proprietary ACi technology, which is derived from fusion research and integrates low-cost converters and control systems. It enables intelligent control of the battery system at the module level in order to deliver precise control and unlock the full potential of the battery.

According to Kedar Munipella, CEO of TAE Power Solutions, the battery testing taking place at the facility is focused on boosting performance and delivering electric powertrains that are more efficient, reliable, elegant and sustainable.

The site is the company’s fourth UK location and will create around 20 new jobs for electrification engineering and test and build technicians. It will be engaged in providing prototyping and testing services on modular battery packs for all forms of e-mobility including cars, trucks, buses and rail.
