SCU Contribution to ST3.7.2 BMS hardware and firmware development

As depicted in the proposal, SCU supported this subtask using simulation results and the last design specification from WP2 to create a pre-prototype in its laboratory. SCU created many BMS products in its own laboratory for many projects and thesis applications.

Key Achievements:

SCU has an important role in designing and implementing the hardware and firmware for a next-generation Battery Management System (BMS). Key milestones include the integration of advanced diagnostic features, real-time monitoring capabilities, and enhanced safety mechanisms. The firmware has been optimised for low power consumption while ensuring rapid data processing to meet the demands of modern energy storage systems.

Target Audience:

This work primarily benefits battery manufacturers, energy storage developers, and industries focusing on renewable energy solutions. Academic institutions researching battery technology also represent a significant audience.

Measurable Outcomes:

  • Development and validation of a prototype BMS with successful lab and field testing.
  • Quantifiable improvements in battery performance metrics such as efficiency, longevity, and safety.
  • Creation of technical documentation and papers summarising results and methodologies.

Potential Impacts:

The BMS development enhances battery lifecycle management, reduces operational risks, and supports the broader transition to renewable energy by providing reliable energy storage solutions. These improvements contribute to meeting global electrification goals and reducing carbon footprints.
