Enhanced Energy Management

    Durability is an essential aspect of vehicles, which can be achieved through accurate modelling of the vehicle’s sub-systems, combined with an in-depth understanding of the application. In this respect, advanced modelling and monitoring of electric vehicle sub-systems, particularly the battery, is of utmost significance to maximize performance. UTEV research focuses on modelling, monitoring, and controlling the battery to enable accurate assessment of its capacity and lifetime, which in turn enhances the range and utility of the battery.

    • Advanced battery management technologies: active cell balancing and embedded state-of-health determination to monitor degradation and extend the lifetime of the battery.

    • Fault-tolerant battery management system through redundancy and intelligent control.

    • Innovative liquid-cooled systems to minimize the temperature gradient across the cells and the physical footprint of the battery.
