Imagine a giant power bank that uses a mix of brand new high-speed batteries and old batteries salvaged from electric cars. It works like a team: some parts handle quick bursts of energy while others store power for a long time. This setup helps keep the electricity grid stable and makes charging electric vehicles much faster and cheaper.
High costs and short lifespans of energy storage make it difficult to integrate renewables and fast-charging EVs into weak grids.
A TRL 7 modular hybrid energy storage system (HESS) combining LFP/supercapacitors with second-life NMC batteries, managed by a digital BMS/EMS cloud platform.
If you are a grid operator dealing with unstable power from renewable sources in weak or islanded grids — this project developed a modular hybrid storage system that provides ancillary services and supports grid stability.
If you are a charging station operator dealing with high power peaks during fast-charging of cars and e-boats — this project developed a scalable storage platform that supports fast-charging infrastructure to prevent grid overload.
If you are a repurposing firm dealing with the waste of used EV batteries — this project developed a way to use second-life NMC batteries in a high-energy storage system, extending their useful life.
The project aims for storage costs of less than €0.05/kWh/cycle by 2030.
Yes, the system is designed to be modular and scalable, with a roadmap leading to TRL 9 for market application.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on standardization via BRIDGE, ETIP-SNET, and CEN-CENELEC to facilitate market replication.
The project targets a projected cycling life of more than 5,000 cycles.
The platform is based on Battery Passport principles and includes a cloud platform for management.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring 12 partners across 6 countries. With an industry ratio of 42% (including 5 industrial partners and 2 SMEs), there is strong private sector involvement to drive the transition from TRL 7 to TRL 9.
