Imagine your car battery having its own brain and a health tracker like a smartwatch. This system monitors the battery's health in real-time and sends data to the cloud to prevent failures. It also makes it easier to give old car batteries a second life as home energy storage instead of throwing them away.
Current battery management systems lack the connectivity and precision needed to maximize battery life and safety. This leads to higher costs for EV owners and wastes battery potential during the transition to second-life storage.
A modular, scalable BMS platform featuring advanced sensors, edge/cloud computing, and V2X capabilities. It includes firmware for health monitoring and a blueprint for customization across different vehicle types.
If you are an EV manufacturer dealing with high battery replacement costs and safety concerns — this project developed a modular BMS that improves battery performance and reduces the total cost of ownership for passenger cars, e-buses, and trucks.
If you are a storage provider dealing with the difficulty of certifying used EV batteries — this project developed tools for second-life applications that facilitate the reuse of battery packs for grid support.
If you are a city operator dealing with unstable power grids due to renewable energy — this project developed V2X and bi-directional charging technologies to use EV batteries as grid support.
The project aims to reduce the total cost of ownership in EV applications and improve the levelized cost of storage (LCoS) through better performance and reliability.
Yes, the system is designed to be modular and scalable for a wide range of vehicles, from small passenger cars to e-buses and electric trucks.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the project provides a blueprint for stakeholders to customize the technologies.
The project uses an interoperable architecture combining edge and cloud computing with advanced sensors and bi-directional charging interfaces.
The project runs from 2024-01-01 to 2027-06-30, aiming to support the EU battery industry roadmap for 2030-2035.
The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with a 55% industry ratio, comprising 6 companies (including 4 SMEs), 2 universities, and 3 research centers. This balance across 7 countries suggests a strong focus on commercial viability and practical application rather than purely academic research.
