Description

In order to maintain power stability, large companies have powerful battery energy parks, high-power stationary batteries. The use of such batteries means significant environmental risk. These batteries are even more polluter if the change of them does not happen because of malfunctioning but to avoid a possible diminution of capacity. Therefore large companies, owners of battery energy parks change batteries every 2-3 years. The aim of the project is to design and develop a grid-based micro management system with charge controllers for the owners of high performance batteries. This micro management and control system is capable for prolonging the capacity of batteries measuring the energy taps of the battery capacities. Briefly with this project the battery lifetime will be longer. The method of the increased longevity enables the involvement of batteries in a predictable and loss-reducing way into the corporate power supply, and thus resulting in significant cost reduction in the operating costs. The project includes a number of technical and technological innovations. Therefore the objective is to integrate the existing models into new knowledge in order to develop a prototype in this project. The project has global benefits because it provides more cost-effective solution for industrial partners and lower environment pollution.

Summary of project results

Project Promoter wanted to design and develop a grid-based micro management system with charge controllers for the owners of high performance batteries. Project Promoter tried to do it with two main innovative component: • a special algorithm that determines the control strategy which is based on the available equipment conditions and the preloaded environmental values. • some developed hardware elements at the endpoints, which examines the condition of the battery by the received command and the minimal local control rule; executes the switch of battery based on real time data, assembles the status data that will be used by the control center during the development of the regeneration and optimization strategy. With the created micro management systems and the developed control system will be capable of prolonging the capacitance of the high performance batteries measuring the energy taps of the battery capacities. High-performance batteries in themselves qualify as an environmentally polluter, therefore large companies, owners of battery energy parks change batteries in every 2-3 years. With this project the system battery lifetime will be longer. The project will aim at identification, development and transfer of good technical, environmental and institutional practices for utilization of local renewable energy resources in low-voltage grids. The project includes a number of technical and technological innovations, some of them are arrives to technical readiness level 34 (TRL3-4), which are results of our previous researches. Therefore our objective is to integrate our existing models into new knowledge in order to develop a prototype in this project. Thanks to the project with the new regeneration method will increased longevity enable the involvement of batteries in predictable and loss reducing way into the corporate power supply, and thus resulting in significant cost reduction in the operating costs. The project benefit is global, because provide a more economical solution side of the industrial partners and lower pollution into environment.

Summary of bilateral results

The cooperation of the Project Promoter and its Donor Partner did not work well therefore they have withdrawn from the Partnership agreement. The Project Promoter could finish the professional tasks of the Donor Partner.
