Management structure

dedicated to all the aspects of project management; overall coordination and reporting, information flow management, communication between partners of the consortium and advisory board, risk and innovation management.

aims to assess the current regulatory and standardization framework where LOLABAT project innovation would have to operate, in order to define guidelines towards a future marketability of project outcomes.

will focus on the development of more performant cell components (electrodes, separator and electrolyte) in close association with computational modelling. Selected improvements will be integrated to the demonstrator for the LOLABAT project, after evaluation of their potential for costs reduction, while substantial activities will also prepare the grounds for the next generation (post-LOLABAT) large-scale NiZn battery demonstrator.

is dedicated to the upscaling of 10Ah cells to larger cells (50/100Ah), to be done on GEN1 and GEN2 to address the stationary application requirements, defined in WP2. All the components of the battery pack (modules, cells, BMS, sensors) will be developed, characterized and integrated. The battery packs will be used for the demo cases in WP6.

is focused on the study of the environmental impacts and costs (from cradle to grave) of all the current market batteries and of the new NiZn battery, the assessment of the recyclability potential of the NiZn batteries in a large scale, the development of an AI-based algorithm to optimize the performance of the environmental impacts and costs of the new NiZn batteries and the development of a general and holistic comparison study between this technology and others, regarding environmental impact, cost and other important criteria (e.g. sustainability, operational, safety, etc.) to consider when comparing different battery technologies.

is dedicated to validation of the viability and effectiveness of the RNZB as a major innovative concept for the future of electricity grids BESS applications such as power generation, distribution grid, commercial, residential and tertiary buildings, as well as industrial sites.

covers all public communication actions, implementation of all dissemination and exploitation actions of the project results and IPR aspects.

ensures that all the actors of the project follow the European ethics requirements and ensure the appropriate procedures confirming to relevant legislations which are applied and satisfied in this project.
