Abstract
Per favorire la penetrazione delle Fonti Rinnovabili Non Programmabili (FRNP), in particolare per la fonte eolica e fotovoltaica, è necessario associare a tali impianti di produzione dei sistemi di accumulo che garantiscano la stabilità della rete di distribuzione e permettano di allineare generazione e domand, migliorando l’efficienaa complessiva delll’impianto.Il progetto prevede di collegare un sistema di accumulo elettrochimico di 1 MWh ad una centrale idroelettrica fluente di CVA, che può simulare il comportamento di altri impianti FNPR, su cui sarebbe più complesso fare un pilota di piccole dimensioni. Il sistema sarà composto da 500 kWh di batterie nuove e 500 kWh di batterie second life, di derivazione automobilistica, con capacità residua ridotta del 20%. Il progetto permetterà di studiare come regolare i flussi energetici in presenza di accumuli elettrochimici, di comprendere come utilizzare le batterie second life in impianti FNRP, identificare i profili di carica e scarica e monitorare lo stato meccanico dell’intero impianto di produzione con tecniche di manutenzione predittiva. Consentirà, inoltre, di realizzare il sistema di comunicazione, gestione e controllo per questo tipo di applicazione, e quindi di valutare la fattibilità tecnico- economica e la replicabilità su altri impianti.

Abstract
The overall objective of SEABAT is to develop a full-electric maritime hybrid concept based on (1) combining modular high-energy batteries and high-power batteries, (2) novel converter concepts and (3) production technology solutions derived from the automotive sector. A modular approach will reduce component costs (battery, convertor) so that unique ship designs can profit from economies of scale by using standardised low-cost modular components. The concept is suitable for future battery generations and high-power components that may have higher power densities or are based on different chemistries. Expected results: optimal full-electric hybrid modular solution, minimising the battery footprint and reducing the oversizing (from up to 10 times down to max. 2 times). Validating as a 300 kWh system (full battery system test) at TRL 5, and virtually validating the solution for batteries of 1 MWh and above, using 300 kWh system P-HiL tests.The result will be a validated hybrid battery solution for capacities of 1 MWh and beyond, a roadmap for type approval and a strategy towards standardisation for (among others) ferries and short sea shipping. The solution will deliver a 35-50% lower total cost of ownership (TCO) of maritime battery systems, including 15-30% lower CAPEX investment, 50% lower costs of integration at the shipyard and a 5% investment cost recuperation after the useful life in the vessel. The SEABAT consortium unites all the necessary expertise for developing the hybrid topology and implementing it in the industry. The market pick-up of the SEABAT solution is maximised by having 20 shipbuilders and integrators in the consortium; they are represented by the SOERMAR association. The stakeholder group, in which end users and port authorities are represented, supports the wide adoption of the SEABAT solution in the European maritime market, and the increase in European skills base in large battery technology and manufacturing processes.

Abstract
Batteries are one key technology enabling a climate-neutral Europe by 2050. A pan-European research and innovation action is necessary to tackle the challenges preventing batteries to reach ultrahigh performance and to rapidly find new sustainable battery materials. The BATTERY 2030 large-scale research initiative aims to invent the batteries of the future by providing breakthrough technologies to the European battery industry throughout the value chain and enable long-term European leadership in both existing markets (road transport, stationary energy storage), and future emerging applications (robotics, aerospace, medical devices, internet of things). This application for a Coordination and Support Action, with the acronym BATTERY 2030PLUS, will lead to the continued development of the BATTERY 2030 large-scale research initiative. It kick-starts a European long-term research initiative on batteries. The main objectives are to develop the BATTERY 2030 R&I roadmap and facilitate its implementation by coordinating and monitoring the consortia winning the calls LC-BAT-12, 13, 14 -2020. In addition, this consortium will in collaboration with the LC-BAT projects, propose guidelines for data sharing, standardization of protocols, and modelling methods/tools. The consortium will also prepare a common strategy for the protection and commercial exploitation of the results, as well as building competence by new European curricula and facilitate the communication, dialogue, and cooperation on cross-cutting topics. Together with the ETIP Batteries Europe the consortium will develop the SET-Plan for batteries and establish links to national and international battery stakeholder networks. The consortium gathers 20 leading European universities and research institutes (UU, Aalto, AIT, CEA, CIC Energigune, CIDETEC, CNRS/CDF, DTU, EMPA, ENEA, FRAUNHOFER, FZJ, KIT, WWU/MEET, NIC, POLITO, SINTEF, TU Delft, VUB, and WTU) and three industry-led associations (EASE, EMIRI, and Recharge).

Abstract
SENSIBATs overall objective is to develop a sensing technology for Li-ion batteries that measures in real-time the internal battery cell temperature, pressure (e.g. mechanical strain, gas evolution) conductivity and impedance (separately for the anode, cathode and electrolyte). The data and insights from these new sensing technologies will be used for the development of improved state estimator functions based on an improved understanding of how, where and when degradation and failure mechanisms occur. These functions will be included in the BMS. SENSIBATs approach consists of five steps: 1) develop the required battery cell sensor technology, 2) subsequently integrate this sensor technology into 1Ah and 5Ah pouch battery cells, 3) incorporate the 5 Ah cells in a 24V battery module with BMS, 4) use the data from the internal sensing technologies to develop robust and advanced state estimation functions. Several state (SOC/SOH/SOE/SOP) estimation algorithms will be improved, better forecasting algorithms and novel safety concepts (SOS) will be created, 5) carry out a cost-benefit analysis for the batteries with sensors as well as a recycling study of the cells. Improved understanding about the nature and timing of unwanted internal battery processes enables faster and more accurate control of the individual cells in a battery system during operation. More accurate control stretches the possibilities of fast charging and discharging, increases the usable battery capacity in different weather conditions and gives a detailed usage history. It allows for better battery state forecasting, resulting in a longer lifetime and more economical use during its 1st and 2nd life. Sophisticated lifetime prediction models enable improved (preventive) maintenance schemes. SENSIBATs technology that will be developed for all Li NMC battery types, can be transferred to serve other battery chemistry types.

Abstract
Batteries are one of the key components for Electric cars, affecting the number of km possible to run, the overall cost and the acceptance of EV mainly for safety reasons.To guarantee safety and long-term performance, a reliable thermal model predicting ageing of cells main importance. To increase the battery energy density metallic lithium should be substituting graphiteThe proposal will develop innovative metallic lithium protection based on hybrid polymer/ceramic membranes to block dendrites growth and use the model produced in THERMODEL project to validate results
Batteries will play an essential role in many years to come if the batteries of the future can provide reliable and safe energy at low cost, while reducing our dependence on critical raw materials and adopting sustainable value chains from mining to recycling. The emerging digitalized and connected era calls for a paradigm shift in the way we discover, design and create batteries. High-performance materials and structures must be designed from the atomic level up, using advanced approaches like density functional theory calculations in combination with machine learning and Artificial Intelligence to analyse big data collected from characterization, synthesis and testing. Sustainable chemistries must be integrated into battery cells, and critical degradation processes must be monitored by novel sensors embedded in smart batteries to take adequate corrective measures in real time. All this will lead to batteries combining high energy and power densities and thus enabling rapid charging, while at the same time being highly safe and durable, and with a low environmental footprint. The BATTERY 2030 initiative will be based on a multi-disciplinary and cross-sectorial approach to bring in all the necessary skills for developing future European battery roadmap while addressing a wide range of strategic applications. To achieve this goal, a team of 17 partners, leaders in their fields, from 9 EU member states will join efforts. Three specific objectives have been defined: 1) BATTERY 2030 roadmap establishment 2) Propose R&D actions and 3) Secure official stakeholder commitments. Related WPs, tasks, milestones and risks are considered to achieve these objectives. Beyond FETPROACT-04-2019 project, BATTERY 2030 initiative, will act as a cornerstone in the construction of a long-term research road on batteries, as the long-term initiative mentioned in the EBA strategic action plan. This new initiative will supply the European battery eco-system with completely new disruptive technologies (Low TRL).

MARS-EV: Materials for Ageing Resistant Li-ion High Energy Storage for the Electric Vehicle, (2013-2017) - Responsabile Scientifico
Ricerca UE
Abstract
MARS-EV aims to overcome the ageing phenomenon in Li-ion cells by focusing on the development of high-energy electrode materials (250 Wh/kg at cell level) via sustainable scaled-up synthesis and safe electrolyte systems with improved cycle life (> 3000 cycles at 100%DOD). Through industrial prototype cell assembly and testing coupled with modelling MARS-EV will improve the understanding of the ageing behaviour at the electrode and system levels. Finally, it will address a full life cycle assessment of the developed technology.MARS-EV proposal has six objectives:(i) synthesis of novel nano-structured, high voltage cathodes (Mn, Co and Ni phosphates and low-cobalt, Li-rich NMC) and high capacity anodes (Silicon alloys and interconversion oxides);(ii) development of green and safe, electrolyte chemistries, including ionic liquids, with high performance even at ambient and sub-ambient temperature, as well as electrolyte additives for safe high voltage cathode operation;(iii) investigation of the peculiar electrolyte properties and their interactions with anode and cathode materials;(iv) understanding the ageing and degradation processes with the support of modelling, in order to improve the electrode and electrolyte properties and, thus, their reciprocal interactions and their effects on battery lifetime;(v) realization of up to B5 format pre-industrial pouch cells with optimized electrode and electrolyte components and eco-designed durable packaging; and(vi) boost EU cell and battery manufacturers via the development of economic viable and technologically feasible advanced materials and processes, realization of high-energy, ageing-resistant, easily recyclable cells.
SMART-EC aims at the development of self powered (energy harvesting and storage) EC device integrating EC thin film transistor component on a flexible substrate for energy saving, comfort and security in automotive, e-cards and smart packaging sectors.The objective is to overcome the current limitations related to low switching time and manufacturing costs; the switching time can be reduced (<1s) by introducing nanostructured EC materials, innovative EC transistors and high ionic conductive solid electrolytes. Radical innovative cheap manufacturing technologies on large area PVD, inkjet and roll-to-roll processes on low cost plastic will be developed. These processes are fully compatible with heterogeneous integration of several functions to produce a completely autonomous device (thin film battery, PV cell, sensors and communication) with great added value respect to traditional solutions. The optimization of co-integrated (separated building blocks laminated together) and convergence (using same materials for different building blocks) approaches will allow to fabricate a fully autonomous system. The first step will be the optimization of deposition and patterning technologies in terms of processes parameters and in-situ monitoring to allow the high control of film growth; the second step will be the heterogeneous integration of the different building blocks to produce the self-powered systems for the targeted applications.Four academic and research institutes guarantee a high level interdisciplinary research on solid-state physics, material chemistry and integration; this will assures the proper technology transfer to industrial partners at all product chain levels (materials, devices and end users) for a successful exploitation of results. SMART-EC materials and technologies are original and will pave the way for future generation smart surfaces with great potential impact at medium and long term (flexible and transparent electronics) applications.
