The primary objective of this work package is to efficiently coordinate the efforts of project participants, monitor progress towards the achievements of the project goals, and serve as an interface between the project elements and the European Commission, external stakeholders, and the general public. This entails establishing and maintaining a robust internal and external flow of information, ensuring strict compliance with contractual, financial, and administrative requirements, as well as maintaining quality control across all activities. Additionally, the work package is tasked with guaranteeing the technical relevance and reliability of project results, and effectively managing both project data and associated risks to ensure a successful and impactful project outcome.
This work package aims to define detailed use cases and system requirements, identify comprehensive verification methods, update parameters and metrics, conduct threat and risk analysis for security requirements, develop high-level test plans, procedures, and harmonized validation methodologies, and assess communication protocols against standards. The objective is to establish a solid technical foundation, ensuring clarity, security, and effective validation processes for successful project implementation.
This work package focuses on specifying and developing the software and hardware architecture of the Battery Management System (BMS) as per system specifications. It includes developing hardware for interfacing with proposed sensors, and implementing security controls for data integrity, authentication, and authorization. The package also involves mechanical integration of the CMC board to reduce the battery-pack volume by 10% and creating a multi-sensing unit for swift and reliable action. The objective is to optimize the BMS with improved security and physical integration for project success.
This work package focuses on improving the accuracy of battery health monitoring and State of Health (SoX) predictions. It involves developing hybrid models that combine physics-based and data-driven approaches to better understand and predict battery degradation, optimize battery life, and assess second-life battery potential. Advanced predictive diagnostics, forensic methods for detecting data manipulation, and end-of-life estimation are also key components.
WP5 aims to enable robust connectivity between Battery Management Systems (BMS) and charging stations, enhancing communication for various applications, including bi-directional charging, V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) interactions, and cloud data storage. It includes the development of secure cloud architectures, data storage solutions for SoX modelling, and the establishment of cybersecurity measures for seamless BMS and Electric Control Unit (ECU) integration, ensuring safe data exchange in connected vehicle ecosystems.
This package is dedicated to the physical integration of the BMS with battery packs, ensuring its proper functionality and safety. It covers the assembly of full battery packs for demonstration purposes, the definition and execution of battery verification tests (BVT), and the development of a comprehensive validation plan for testing battery performance, SoX functionality, and ensuring safety under real-world conditions. The ultimate goal is to validate the system integration to a TRL6 level for various use cases, including e-mobility and stationary storage.
This work package focuses on the communication, dissemination, and exploitation of iBattMan’s innovations. It includes developing a communication strategy, managing online channels, and producing promotional materials to maximize project visibility. Engagement with stakeholders, EU projects, and industry networks will foster collaboration and knowledge exchange. The package also covers knowledge transfer through scientific publications, training courses, and open-access resources. Additionally, standardization activities will assess regulatory compliance and identify gaps for future standards. Finally, an IP and market strategy will be implemented to support technology exploitation, including IPR management, business case development, and industry engagement to ensure long-term impact.
