Project Objectives
InnoBMS will develop and validate a novel wireless BMS design such that it can significantly improve overall battery performance. Specifically, InnoBMS will seek to achieve:
- a 12% higher effective battery pack volumetric density,
- a 33% longer battery lifetime, and
- a demonstrated battery lifetime of 15 years.
The results will be demonstrated using novel testing methods that give a 36% reduction in the testing time of a BMS. The results will be demonstrated in two use cases, one light commercial vehicle (Fiat Doblo Electric) and one medium-duty van (IVECO eDaily). The key outcomes will enable a cost reduction of 12% and 9.7% for passenger cars and light-duty vehicles, respectively.
Typhoon’s role as a project partner
Typhoon HIL is responsible for leading the testing, validation and demonstration activities, with a focus on performing C-HIL tests of the wireless BMS control card for passenger (400 V) and fleet vehicles (up to 1000 V) ahead of full-stack testing. This includes:
- Cell-level emulation of the battery system
- Interfacing of the wireless BMS hardware with real-time test equipment
- ISO 15118 compatible EV charging infrastructure emulation
- Integration with VUB’s cloud-based Open vehicle Powertrain Platform to simulate real driving conditions
