BATSS - SAFE EFFICIENT BATTERY SYSTEM BASED ON ADVANCED CELL TECHNOLOGY

BATSS project will focus on the development of a novel battery system concept which exhibits improved high-performance and safety, as a way to unlock the market uptake of next-generation battery system to a broad range of transport applications. The project will develop a specific Safe-by-Design (SbD) approach to guide the whole R&D process, aiming at identifying and mitigating (even eliminating) safety risks across the life cycle of the battery, while also allowing to counteract possible performance and cost trade-offs linked to the implementation of safety barriers in the battery system. The Consortium will develop a new cell-to-pack modular concept targeting at an outstanding safety and electro-thermal performance. To ensure sustainable and efficient EoL solutions, BATSS explores BS modularity, automated disassembly techniques, and second life applications. We demonstrate our battery system (BS) concept through a 5 – 10 kWh prototype of up to 400V for a construction site vehicle, a leisure boat, and a semi-stationary application. Prototype-based simulations validate feasibility in commercial use cases of 50 kWh & 400 V eventually scaled up to 800 V.
