Project title: Fast-track hybrid testing platform for the development of battery systems
Acronym: FASTEST
Type of project: EU projects
Role: Partner
Financing: Horizon Europe
Duration: 1.06.2023 – 31.05.2026
Laboratory: Laboratory for Internal Combustion Engines and Electromobility LICeM
Project description:
Current methods to evaluate Li-ion batteries safety, performance, reliability and lifetime represent a remarkable resource consumption for the overall battery R&D process. The time or number of tests required, the expensive equipment and a generalised trial-error approach are determining factors, together with a lack of understanding of the complex multi-scale and multi-physics phenomena in the battery system.
Besides, testing facilities are operated locally, meaning that data management is handled directly in the facility, and that experimentation is done on one test bench. The FASTEST project aims develope and validate a fast-track testing platform able to deliver a strategy based on Design of Experiments (DoE) and robust testing results, combining multi-scale and multi-physics virtual and physical testing. This will enable an accelerated battery system R&D and more reliable, safer and long-lasting battery system designs
