Descripción del proyecto
La modularidad estructural mejora la eficacia energética de las baterías de iones de litio
Las baterías de iones de litio (Li) han impulsado una revolución en los dispositivos electrónicos portátiles y alimentan la mayoría de los vehículos eléctricos que circulan hoy en día. Aunque se están desarrollando posibles tecnologías alternativas, el Li seguirá siendo la piedra angular de esos mercados durante al menos una década. El equipo del proyecto iModBatt, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende maximizar la densidad energética de los paquetes de iones de litio para la industria automovilística, reducir costes y aumentar la independencia y competitividad de Europa. Para ello, se optimizarán el diseño estructural y los componentes de un innovador concepto de batería modular. El equipo planea reducir el peso del paquete de baterías manteniendo su integridad estructural y mejorando la fabricación y el reciclaje automatizados.
Objetivo
iModBatt stands for Industrial Modular Battery Pack Concept Addressing High Energy Density, Environmental Friendliness, Flexibility and Cost Efficiency for Automotive Applications. The aim of iModBatt is to design and manufacture, with minimum environmental impact, a high energy density modular battery pack flexible enough to be used in automotive and small stationary applications. This battery pack will be suitable for industrial automated assembly with an easy disassembly design, to make possible the shift from primary applications to secondary ones, and to facilitate the pack recyclability or parts replacement if necessary.
The project concept is built around an already existing technologically breakthrough, modular battery pack design primarily developed for specialty applications, that has proven excellent performance and cost efficiency in such a manner that higher ambition, wider spread electric vehicle applications seem the natural next developmental step for such a concept.
The project focuses into maximization of the energy density of a lithium ion pack through the optimization of the structural design and components of a battery pack for a given cell form factor. In this sense the strategy is to increase the energy density by reducing the weight of the battery pack while keeping structural integrity and easy assembly and manufacturing. Chemistry and BMS work is beyond the scope of the project, which focuses in the structural design and manufacturing.
The Consortium includes industrial partners of every step of the battery pack value chain, including automotive OEMs, battery parts manufacturers as well as leading European research centres with ample experience in the field of batteries.
