Description
Energy sector and market are heading from cell-level ultracapacitor development and production to smart energy storage systems. Currently, Skeleton Technologies Ltd lacks the in-house expertise to provide added-value through software-run smart energy storage systems suitable for applications that require high specific power and/or energy. The project idea is to develop a fully integrated ICT platform to manage Skeleton Technologies ultracapacitor cells and modules, which through further development can be used in various applications. The platform will help to increase the efficiency and reliability of the device and lower price per energy unit. This project, supported under the small grant scheme, will aim to further elaborate the project idea with the aim of preparing the project application for the main open call under the GII programme. The project will address the viability of the main project in terms of market, technology and resources dedicated to carry out the main project.
Summary of project results
The project was needed to develop a fully integrated ICT platform to manage Skeleton Technologies ultracapacitor cells and modules, which through further development can be used in various applications. The platform would help to increase the efficiency and reliability of the device and lower price per energy unit. The objective of this small grant scheme project was to conduct preparatory activities for further participation in the open (main) call. Project promoter has enforced a market and competition analysis, patent study, commercialization strategy, risk and environmental impact analysis within the project. All aforementioned activities are documented and submitted with the final report. Hence, the objective can be considered reached and sustainable. As thorough preparation activities have been conducted, the green business idea has been fully assessed and developed. Therefore the outcome of the project has been reached. Project promoter has successfully participated in the open (main) call with donor partner.
