Situationally aware innovative battery management system for next generation vehicles

InnoBMS
Goal

InnoBMS will develop and validate a novel wireless BMS design that achieves a 12% higher effective battery pack volumetric density and a 33% longer battery lifetime than the state of the art. The results will be demonstrated using novel testing methods that provide a 36% reduction in the testing time of a BMS.

Energetic

Next generation battery management system based on data rich digital twin

Energetic
Goal

Energetic seeks to develop a next generation BMS using a hybrid of multiple AI and physics-based models to optimize battery utilization in the first (transportation) and second life (stationary). The project will use enhanced sensing technologies, cloud and edge control integration, and investigate explainable AI models as methods to achieve this.

The Importance of Collaboration

It’s important to work with industry, to interact with industry. We have the connection in the cloud, and it’s given a lot of opportunity and it shows that it is the basis of future collaboration. What is important: is we cannot work alone.
