Funded Research

Energetic seeks to develop a next generation BMS using a hybrid of multiple AI and physics-based models to optimize battery utilization in the first (transportation) and second life (stationary). The project will use enhanced sensing technologies, cloud and edge control integration, and investigate explainable AI models as methods to achieve this.

See the project website.

Typhoon HIL is leading real-time testing activities of the developed Smart Digital Twin BMS software both prior to and after its subsequent integration in the BMS hardware. This will be performed at Typhoon HIL’s headquarters in Novi Sad, Serbia using state of the art BMS control-testing equipment.

The principal goal of the InnoCyPES ITN is to train a new generation of 15 high-achieving early stage researchers (ESRs) to develop a cutting-edge system management platform that covers the entire lifecycle of data for energy system planning, operation, and maintenance, based on an understanding of the energy system as a cyber-physical system.​

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 956433.
