| Work package W2.2: CERBEA Platform Development – Battery Validation Platform |
| Objectives: To design the mechanisms and infrastructures necessary to facilitate citizen access, ease of use and efficient functionality of the innovative CERBEA battery validation platform in the urban environments. Key technologies include the design of an IoT sensorisation platform that will include artificial intelligence for battery health testing. For an optimal and agile measurement, it will be necessary to develop a proprietary hardware device in charge of massively validating a large number of batteries at the same time. Also, this work package includes planning physical battery drop-off and recovery stations to receive, evaluate, recondition and reuse Li-ion batteries, feeding the needs of the accumulator units for a truly effective circular economy framework. |
