BatCAT WP1 - Characterization and data acquisition
Milestone ID: 157
This GitLab Milestone represent the Horizon BatCAT Work Package WP1 - Knowledge Integration (M1 - M30) as this is our usual accounting practice.
Lead: IFPEN
Starts: M1
Budget (IS): 6.5 PM
Objective
WP1 provides and applies the characterization techniques needed to analyse manufacturing steps as well as intermediate and final working products. Dedicated online characterization methodologies are developed, tailored to the requirements from the use cases, permitting novel insights into coin cell and RFB manufacturing. In this way, it realizes KO1, "combine in situ measurements and multiscale characterization to understand the impact of manufacturing operating conditions on final cell behaviour," for which it has the main responsibility.
Tasks and Deliverables
T1.2 Online characterization methodology (M1 - M21)
Lead: BIREX
contrib: IS
This task specifies the methodology for production line digitization to be used
in WP6 in a way that enables both (a) the maximum of information (sensors) on manufacturing process steps and intermediate products in situ and (b) live interventions (actuators) into process control and optimization. The combination of (a) and (b) is the low-level foundation for the actionable modelling from T3.6. The methodology is first implemented at lab scale, in a test environment at BIREX; by M18, it must be ready to go from lab to technical scale (MS11). For LIB, slurry (particle size, viscosity) and coating (thickness, porosity, homogeneity) properties are a main focus; for RFBs, characterization will focus on electrode felt preparation/quality, electrolyte properties, and stack sealing.
D1.2 Online characterization demonstration
Lead: BIREX
Due: M21
This demonstration showcases the results from T1.2. As such, it demonstrates the methodology for production line digitization in a way that enables both (a) the maximum of information (sensors) on manufacturing process steps and intermediate products in situ and (b) live interventions (actuators) into process control and optimization. For LIB, slurry (particle size, viscosity) and coating (thickness, porosity, homogeneity) properties are a main focus; for RFBs, characterization will focus on electrode felt preparation/quality, electrolyte properties, and stack sealing.
