Battery Pass

Likewise, DEFACTO and the future developments of its technologies will contribute to strengthen an innovative, sustainable and competitive battery industry, positioning Europe as the forefront of this sector. Boschidar Ganev is a project manager at AIT Austrian Institute of Technology for Low-Emission Transport, coordinating national and EU-funded projects in the domain of vehicle electrification and electric mobility, with a focus in recent years on traction batteries for EVs. All this activity covers from knowledge generation to product development and transference in close cooperation with industry partners all through Europe. Howey also won a Samsung GRO Award on modelling leading to two R&D contracts and a multi-year collaboration, with results patented by Samsung Electronics. The project also aims to offer an open data repository and online services for battery manufacturing multiscale simulations. Deidre Wolff is working as part of the Sustainable Production and Life Cycle Engineering team at TU Braunschweig (TUBS) Institute for Machine Tools and Production Technology as a Research Associate. Since 2020, Martin is the coordinator of MODALIS² H2020 project dedicated to the development of a modelling toolchain for Gen3b and Gen4 batteries behaviour. Ruben Kühnel is a staff scientist at Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology.

Data is the most important thing that the second-life industry need to be able to use a battery is data on what the battery has done before and is still capable of. The Battery Passport solution is now commercially available, we are excited to work with manufacturers on promoting electric vehicle, helping lower CO2 emissions and growing the energy storage market. Battery Passport’s intelligent reporting provides detailed information and alerts so you can monitor battery health and respond to any issues straight away. Battery Passport provides a comprehensive ‘passport’ for your battery,tailored for the energy storage market, giving the secondlife sector the confidence to purchase your battery. In turn, Battery Passport helps electric vehicle manufacturers to find customers for batteries at their end-of-vehicle-life, creating new revenue streams and removing disposal costs.

We are an association of committed companies, scientific partners and interested parties who are developing solutions for the upcoming tasks of the circular economy of lithium-ion batteries and future technologies. We are only at the beginning of a development in which large quantities of electrical storage systems are required for applications in mobility and energy supply. Through the interaction of the various value creation partners along the battery production – use – reuse – recycling process chain, we identify potential synergies that lead to a new level of efficiency in the entire material cycle with lower environmental impact.Pragmatic approaches such as automation technology, logistics and fire protection are being pursued. In addition, digitalization with lifecycle-accompanying system solutions offers potential for recording and optimizing the overall process. This requires various forms of highly qualified automation technology for battery cell production and battery system assembly.

We are pleased to have Pavlo Ivanchenko from VUB MOBI on board for the new Phoenix project, and also Daniel Fons Sánchez who will talk about ZELEROS activities. And Alessandro Mariani from FPT Industrial will provide insights on the SENSE project. With more than 20 contributions from industry and research, we are proud to offer you a truly comprehensive and varied program on battery sensing and future smart batteries at the San Sebastán workshop. The workshop is open for interested scientists and experts from battery and automotive development as well as from electro-mechanical engineering. BATTERY 2030+ is a large-scale research initiative in Europe with the aim of developing more environmentally friendly and safer batteries with better performance, greater storage capacity options and longer life.

We are happy to participate again at the BXF because its mix of science and industry is set just right in accordance with the quick development in the e-mobility and battery industry. We are seeking innovative contributions that shed light on the topic of batteries from various perspectives, including Electric Mobility, Energy Storage, New Materials/Next Generation, Cells, World Market. For 2023, we are moving to the Wissenschafts- und Kongresszentrum Darmstadt in the Science City Darmstadt, Hessen. The Battery Experts Forum is the biggest conference and exhibition for battery technology. Over 100 experts from the leading battery manufacturers and users provide information on the newest trends, product developments and solutions. From cell and battery manufacturers to OEMs and users, new design, production and manufacturing solutions, including battery systems, materials and components, as well as testing and recycling processes are presented. As the Platinum Sponsor of the event, we enjoyed meeting and connecting with professionals involved in the industry. HIOKI is a strong partner of the battery industry in both, R&D and production with our test and measurement solutions.

Discover how the European battery industry is working towards products with a superior lifetime performance and sustainable raw materials supply.
