Project description DEENESFRITPL Preparing for the rise in battery energy storage systems The EU has set the goal of ensuring that 32 % of its gross final energy consumption comes from renewable sources by 2030. It’s also targeting a 50 % reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving these goals means demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS) will increase. As such, suitable reuse technologies for old batteries are needed to reduce the accumulation of end-of-life battery systems waste. The EU-funded SMART BATTERY project proposes a disruptive technological innovation that allows module-level control of BESS through novel inverter hardware and smart algorithms. SMART BATTERY extends the life cycle of batteries up to 15 years, and allows for deep battery analytics, remote operation and performance predictions. Project work will significantly contribute to the EU’s sustainable energy infrastructure. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective The EU has targeted renewable energy shares of 32% and a 50% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 which has to lead to an exponential growth in the demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS). Without suitable re-use technologies for old batteries, 95% of all end-of-life battery systems will be disposed of and the EU will accumulate 250k tonnes of waste by 2025.STABL has developed and patented SMART BATTERY, a disruptive innovation that allows the module-level control of BESS through novel inverter hardware and smart algorithms. This approach enables the lifecycle extension of batteries by up to 15 years as well as efficiency increases, deep battery analytics, remote operation and performance predictions while cost savings reach 90%.With a €1.2bn business opportunity in the inverter markets, this project is critical to accelerating STABL's development work and we expect to significantly contribute to the EU’s Green Deal targets and sustainable energy infrastructure.
