General information

Short Summary
A European-based SME company, specialized in providing state-of-the-art software solutions for battery management systems for both embedded and cloud. The company actively seeks
collaborations under a R&D agreement to address challenges faced by electric vehicle batteries; including range, lifetime, safety and re-usability. The project aims to develop next-generation, data-driven BMS by merging cutting-edge hardware and software solutions to improve lifetime and performance of EV batteries.
Full Description
In the electric vehicle industry, the applicability of cloud-based services, artificial intelligence, and IoT technologies is increasing. However, the changing demands and needs of customers highlight the necessity for developing next generation data-based and adaptable battery management systems by combining cutting edge hardware and software solutions.

The main objective of the project is to develop next generation data-based and adaptable battery management systems to enhance battery system performance, safety, reliability, lifespan, and lifetime cost, while improving the value created by operations of the battery systems in various kinds of applications where the circular value chain for EV batteries places sustainability at the forefront, aiming to maximize battery life cycles through practices such as first-use, re-use, remanufacturing, and recycling.

The project aims to establish a framework for efficiently parameterizing physics-based models , as well as the hardware and sensorisation on cell and system level to collect and communicate battery measurement data through IoT, with support from Edge and Cloud computing. This includes advanced battery models with integrated digital twins capable of managing large volumes of measured data, facilitating comprehensive monitoring of battery aging. This framework enables the utilization of state-of-the-art technology and techniques such as machine learning, deep learning algorithms, IoT and Cloud to provide an economical and reliable solution by offering functions such as battery state estimations, remaining lifetime predictions, early failure detection and predictive maintenance with higher accuracy. By the implementation of functional safety and cybersecurity features, the project ensures that the developed systems meet the highest standards of functionality and safety, verified by their feasibility through targeted bench tests.
Advantages and Innovations
