Evyon’s battery characterization lab is designed to develop characterization and monitoring technologies and is expected to be built by the end of 2022. The lab will study the aging of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery modules over the degradation life cycle and generate data for lifetime optimization, safety prediction and degradation forecast.
The electric vehicle (EV) industry is rapidly growing and large numbers of electric vehicles are already running on roads across the globe. Electric vehicles are known for reducing the carbon footprint as compared to traditional vehicles, however their batteries still present environmental challenges. In fact, the manufacture of EV batteries produces large amounts of carbon dioxide and uses heavy metals that are harmful to the environment.
The environmental impact caused by Li-ion batteries motivates Evyon to invest into maximizing the value of every battery to achieve our vision of a fully renewable future for everyone. Evyon’s goal is to keep EV batteries out of landfills by repurposing them into top-quality energy storage systems. That is, Evyon transforms EV batteries into energy storage solutions that can be monitored and optimized through our innovative Battery Cloud platform.
The new battery lab is an important tool to assess battery module degradation, generating valuable insights into how second-life batteries age under different operating conditions. This enables Evyon to develop accurate battery models and algorithms that will be used to monitor and optimize the performance, reliability and safety of Evyon’s battery products - maximizing customer value. The grant recently awarded by Innovation Norway will help fund the lab, which is expected to be operational by the end of 2022.
Rodrigo Carvalho, Evyon’s Senior AI Battery Scientist explains: “The lab will generate high-quality data to expand our understanding of how second-life batteries age and how their operating can be fine-tuned to maximize performance and lifetime. These findings will also fuel our data-driven tools, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of our platform”.
Leif Andreassen, Evyon’s CFO adds: “Building this lab allows us to rapidly expand and deepen our dataset on the degradation of second-life modules, greatly enhancing the accuracy and breadth of battery characterization and optimization services we can offer in order to deliver even more value to our customers.”
