Résumé du contexte et des objectifs généraux du projet

HAVEN’s main objective is to design to Technology Readiness Level- 7, a concept which will essentially be demonstrating in relevant operational conditions a smart, highly modular, scalable, sustainable and safe Hybrid energy storage system, with advanced cognitive functionalities and optimized high-energy and high-power capabilities for multi-service provisioning to support the electrical grid and Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure. Based on this main objective, the HAVEN consortium set up 6 operational objectives with specific key performance indicators to measure the technology readiness level of the project’s evolution beyond the state of the art. Which are;
1. To develop and demonstrate an improved hybrid energy storage system architecture utilizing efficiently potential heterogenous storage and battery system arrangements based on next-generation storage technologies and chemistries.
2. To optimise state-of-the-art power conversion devices with cognitive functionalities for efficient operation of the hybrid energy storage system
3. To develop and validate advanced control systems and management strategies for hybrid energy storage systems
4. To develop and test a Modular Design Platform and Digital Twin for smart hybrid energy storage system design, management and diagnosis
5. To assess the life cycle of the hybrid energy storage system and its components and establish adequate critical raw material recovery plans
6. To maximise the wider uptake of HAVEN’s results during and after the project duration

Travail effectué depuis le début du projet jusqu’à la fin de la période considérée dans le rapport et principaux résultats atteints jusqu’à présent

The main activities of the HAVEN project were carried out in dedicated tasks within work packages and the outcome of each work package task, produced results which totalled to main achievements of the project, which are listed thus;
1. The definition of the specifications and requirements of the Hybrid energy storage system. The activities of this work package led to a thorough analysis of the systems specifications and requirements of the Hybrid Energy Storage System to ensure that they were in line with the future trends and challenges faced by the power system. The Key performance indicators were also developed so as to evaluate the systems suitability to provide key grid services. The specifications and requirements of the different Use cases in the project were also defined, and lastly the Hybrid energy storage system design, specifications and requirements were also defined.

2. The development of models and tools for design, management and diagnosis. The different technological scenarios for the use cases were evaluated based on the systems specifications and requirements. The development of a physics based digital twin. The development of an advanced three layered Energy management system. And the development of a cost optimization algorithm utilized for analysing the right and cost efficient battery storage configuration.

3. Battery cell chemistries were analysed via the cell characterization results carried out in the project, which gave crucial insights to the development of a functional digital twin.

4. Eco-design guidelines and strategies for the Hybrid energy storage system design and manufacturing was developed.

Progrès au-delà de l’état des connaissances et impact potentiel prévu (y compris l’impact socio-économique et les conséquences sociétales plus larges du projet jusqu’à présent)

Results achieved and Impacts are listed below;

1. Battery Sizing Algorithms: Developed optimisation tools that reduce overcapacity, improve Levelized Cost of Storage, and minimise critical raw material use, this directly supports the EU critical raw materials act, by lowering demand for cobalt, lithium, and nickel in Battery development.

2. Physics-Based Digital Twin: A digital twin was designed and developed, enabling predictive maintenance, accelerated design cycles, and improved operational optimisation. Hence, supporting the EU Digitalisation of Energy Action Plan by enabling smart, efficient, and flexible energy storage.

3. Dissemination & Exploitation: Developed plan established, for synergies across the EU battery value chain, with strong collaboration between cell producers, system integrators, and Small and Medium Enterprises.

4. Policy-Relevant Evidence: Provided concrete evidence that Hybrid energy storage system digital twin facilitates the digitalization of energy systems and supports critical raw material reduction directly aligned with the strategic action plan of the EU on Batteries.

At this stage, the HAVEN project has delivered validated hybrid energy storage design configurations an innovative digital twin with physics based models, and advanced energy management system and a battery optimization algorithm that reduces costs and raw material needs, however there are still key needs for further uptake and success;

Further research, validation and demonstration of developed tools as WP 6 is yet to commence in the M1-M18 reporting period.
