The mitigation of climate change accompanied by the energy transition pose an immense challenge to the energy supply infrastructure. Electrochemical energy storage systems such as batteries and fuel cells are expected to play a crucial role in decarbonizing the power and transport sectors. However, their energy density is currently still too low for many applications. Therefore, research and development in battery technologies are expected to increase in the coming years. This thesis also focuses on the research of batteries. In more detail, the thesis deals with the design of a measurement and control system with data acquisition functionality for integration into an existing high-voltage battery test bench. The system should be able to aquire the essential parameters of high-voltage batteries, i.e. cell voltage, cell temperature and charge and discharge current, and to read in and output digital status signals. In a first step, the requirements for the measurement and control system were defined within the scope of this work. Special attention was paid to a modular and cost-effective design of the system. Based on these requirements, the circuits and circuit boards were designed and then installed in a standardised housing. When the system was used on the existing high-voltage battery test bench, it proved to meet all the requirements defined in advance. Due to its modular and cost-effective design, the measurement and control system is suitable for universal use in everyday laboratory operation.
