As the world transitions to cleaner energy sources, the demand for robust testing in renewable energy and battery storage systems is rapidly growing. Wind turbines, solar inverters, and energy storage units must withstand diverse mechanical and environmental stresses during operation. Vibration testing—particularly using electro-dynamic (ED) shakers—plays a vital role in validating the structural and functional performance of these systems.

In energy storage applications, lithium-ion batteries must meet increasingly stringent safety, durability, and reliability standards. ED shakers enable controlled mechanical excitation across a wide frequency range, making them ideal for battery R&D and qualification. These systems can reproduce mechanical stresses caused by transport, vehicle integration, thermal expansion, and crash scenarios. When paired with thermal chambers, they also support combined environmental testing, providing crucial insights into battery behaviour under real-world conditions.

VBT Europe has developed battery testing solutions that integrate ED shakers with advanced climate chambers. These test systems support EUCAR hazard level compliance and are engineered with active monitoring and containment features to ensure safe testing of high-energy cells and packs
