Project description
Novel stationary energy storage solution
Increasing electricity demand imposes the implementation of innovative solutions in a variety of fields, the main one being energy storage. To contribute to the energy transition, the EU-funded iSTORMY project aims to develop an innovative and interoperable hybrid stationary energy storage system based on a modular battery pack, a modular power electronics interface, Digital Twin modelling and a universal self-healing energy management strategy (including the ageing and thermal constraints for failure mechanisms). The hybridisation will either consist of different battery types, or the same battery type with different capacities. A smart modular solution will be developed to integrate the cooling system among modules or stacks. Moreover, it will be more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable compared to existing solutions.
Objective
The iSTORMY project will propose an innovative and interoperable hybrid stationary energy storage system based on: modular battery pack (stacks/modules) + modular power electronics (PE) interface + universal Self-healing energy management strategy (SH-EMS).
In particular the project will investigate and demonstrate:
1. Modular battery pack with hybridization at stacks/modules level (incl. slave pBMS) with a new universal BMS (adaptive interfaces + accurate SoX) at the top of the battery system for easy and fast integration and control. The hybridization will consist of different battery types or same type with different capacities (first and second life) and a smart modular solution will be developed to integrate the cooling system among modules or stacks.
2. Modular PE interface based on SiC devices with high efficiency (topology + adaptive local controller) and Digital Twin modeling.
3. Universal SH-EMS (based on machine learning and online algorithms) including the aging and thermal constraints for failure mechanisms.
