At the beginning of the year, the Institute for Electrical Energy Storage Technology, EES starts three projects in the field of battery research:
- Project iMoBatt, funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi): The project aim is to reduce the costs of energy storage systems. The entire product cycle is considered from design and development to production and installation, operation and finally to recycling. The contribution of the EES is the methodical examination of the battery module by operation simulation.
- Project KlemA, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF): In this funding project, the volume expansion of lithium-ion batteries during cyclization is analysed.
- Project EffSkalBatt, funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi): The aim is to develop and test a topology optimised for efficiency and system performance for stationary lithium-ion battery storage systems. Among others, second-life high-voltage batteries in interaction with different power electronic coupling topologies will be examined in detail. Results from an overall system modeling are then validated with field data from the demonstrator setup. The chair EES is lead partner of this project.
Updates on these and other projects will be provided on our website. Further cooperation projects of the TUM partners can be found on our project pages.
