Project description
Powering sustainable mobility by advancing battery management
As the demand for electric vehicles increases, so does the need for efficient battery management. However, the nature of battery systems poses significant challenges, from accurate state estimation to sustainable energy usage. In this context, the EU-funded FreeTwinEV project is focusing on enhancing research capacities at the Slovak University of Technology to pioneer digital twinning for advanced battery management systems. Changing the way batteries are managed ensures longevity, sustainability, and optimal performance in electric vehicles and beyond. Through mobility exchanges and strategic agendas, the project aims to elevate R&D capacities, leading to more precise state estimation and improved energy management in electric vehicles and stationary storage.
Objective
The primary aim of the FreeTwinEV project is to enhance STU's research capacities in Digital Twinning for advanced battery management systems. The vision of the project is to establish Slovak University of Technology (STU) as the focal point for cutting-edge battery research in the CEE region, achieved through a lasting strategic partnership in research involving STU, University of Twente, Linz Centre of Mechatronics and ADDSEN, focusing on internationalization. FreeTwinEV explores the opportunities stemming from the Slovak Research and Innovation Smart Specialization Strategy and the large automotive industry base of the country as the largest car producer per capita in the world.
The project has set very concrete key performance indicators to measure the progress and outcomes achieved. They will result in increased R&D and innovation capacities of actors in Slovak and more precise state estimation and improved energy management of battery systems in various applications, primarily electric vehicles, but also in stationary battery energy storages. FreeTwinEV research contributes to the European Green Deal significantly. With just extending battery life by 20% we could potentially save up to 40 million tons of CO2/year. By leveraging advanced battery management systems, batteries can be repurposed for various applications, including stationary energy storage, renewable energy integration, and grid support. The project promotes a circular economy by reusing valuable resources and minimizes the ecological impact associated with battery disposal.
Through the series of twinning tools like mobility exchanges, summer schools, joint hard and soft-skills training, upgrading the STUs Project Office, and designing and implementing strategic research and internationalization agendas, STU will be able to fully absorb the best practices from the partners, which will contribute to raising their scientific reputation and visibility in electric eVehicles twinning proposal
