The upcoming electric revolution is estimated to generate 4,000 tonnes of battery waste in the UK alone by 2020 (DfT 2014). By 2030, energy storage coupled with renewables are expected to overtake fossil fuel based electricity generation in most industrialized countries and all major car manufacturers are expected to make mostly electric or hybrid passenger vehicles. At the point of disposal, most of these batteries have at least 70% remaining life. Solutions for affordable battery system and improved ways to deal with battery wastes are urgently needed to deal with climate crisis.In response, Alp has designed and tested a low-cost and easy to maintain li-ion battery system using unconventional architecture and innovative electronics and sensors, which allow these batteries to be reused for distributed generation.This project will focus on the improved utilization of Li-ion cells, increasing cell-value and extending use prior to recycle thanks to the development of an advanced system to collect and analyse the data for predictive maintenance (software).The combination of this innovation with our existing battery system made of used cells has the potential to reduce energy storage cost by 80% while recycling otherwise discarded waste. The increase affordability could greatly facilitate the adoption of renewable energy in developing countries in Africa and South East Asia where renewable resources are abundant, but cost is a significant barrier to system deployment.

据估计，到2020年，仅在英国，即将到来的电力革命就会产生4000吨电池废物（DfT 2014）。到2030年，在大多数工业化国家，储能与可再生能源的结合预计将超过化石燃料发电，所有主要汽车制造商预计将主要生产电动或混合动力乘用车。在处理的时候，大多数这些电池至少有70%的剩余寿命。为应对气候危机，迫切需要经济实惠的电池系统解决方案和改进的电池废物处理方法。为此，Alp设计并测试了一种低成本、易于维护的锂离子电池系统，该系统采用了非常规的结构和创新的电子和传感器，使这些电池可以重复使用，用于分布式发电。该项目将专注于提高锂离子电池的利用率，增加电池价值，并在回收之前延长使用时间，这要归功于一种先进的系统的开发，该系统可以收集和分析预测性维护（软件）的数据。这项创新与我们现有的由废旧电池制成的电池系统相结合，有可能降低80%的能量存储成本，同时回收其他丢弃的废物。可负担性的提高可以极大地促进可再生能源在非洲和东南亚等可再生资源丰富的发展中国家的采用，但成本是系统部署的一个重大障碍。
