LOLABAT’s objectives
The ambitions (2024 and after) of LOLABAT are to further increase the cycle life of NiZn (to at least 4000 cycles at 100% DoD) , development of NiZn for grid applications and its preparation for a production in Europe, by increasing its TRL via upscaling of capacity, design and integration of BMS and sensors built up in battery packs, testing and demonstration in stationary energy storage applications via five use cases in utility grid and industrial sites, its preparation for a future industrialisation by realisation of life cycle and life cycle cost analyses, recycling studies, assessment of norms, standards and grid compliancy, realisation of business model and market studies and finally an extensive dissemination and communication of the project results and NiZn technology.
The KPI of LOLABAT are clear in terms of cost and cyclability
By achieving the high cyclability of 4000 cycles, the cycled cost per kilowatt hour can reach the lowest value of 0.05 E/kWh/cycle. Thus complying to European Union’s goal.
