Summary
This topic has opened under the call ”Energy efficiency and energy management” (EDF-2021-ENERENV-D).
This topic aims at developing new alternative technologies for deployable energy storage systems that are reliable, stable, compact, lightweight, high power (SWaP), mobile, safer, smart managed, characterized by the lack of “memory effect” and with a high operating time (number of discharge / charge cycles).
Detailed Call Description
Both the technology and energy storage devices should be interoperable with other devices (military and cooperative) used in operations and cooperating areas. Furthermore, the current existing energy storage systems should be assessed for military use. The proposed solution should be easy to deploy, monitor, manage in military forward operation bases and function in different geographical locations, weather and climate conditions (including extreme environments).
The proposal must address the development of an application-oriented analysis, including a draft guideline recommendation for novel energy storage technologies is safer and usable for military deployments in forward operation bases; and achieve validation in relevant environment. Additionally, a set of military requirements (including but not limited to application specific duty-cycles, loading cycles, storage and tactical and environmental conditions) must be collected, aligned and analysed to derive design targets for future energy storage system(s). The proposal will comprehend both components and system integration analysis.
These requirements will then be transferred into a guideline recommendation for the energy storage systems and their integration to be used as a basis for the creation of standards and requirement specifications for procurement procedures.
Targeted activities: Studies and design, not excluding upstream and downstream activities
