BattCon - Battery Containerised Test Facility

BattCon项目是一个创新和技术项目，旨在英国境内试验一个新的电池和电池技术测试设施，并为莲花提供投资一系列集装箱测试设施的谅解，以适应电动汽车和能源储存市场的增长。随着汽车和其他行业开发新的和新颖的电池技术，对合适的电池测试设施的需求不断增加，Project BattCon开始通过为英国电池供应链和OEM提供可用的和具有竞争力的电池测试机会来解决这个问题。新的最先进的设施将使各种电池特性测试、性能评估以及组件和寿命测试能够在受控条件下进行，在新电池的设计阶段早期提供可行性研究支持，并验证成熟的组件设计以便投入生产。性能和组件测试将包括但不限于容量确定、电阻映射、电流和功率映射、开路电压(OCV)和热容量的测定。寿命测试包括低电压循环、高电压循环、自放电测定、存储老化、循环老化、驱动循环老化和定位。莲花将提供一个安全区域，由在测试电池方面经验丰富的专业人员组成，这一活动本身就具有重大的潜在风险。新接触该技术的公司和那些原本需要投资于额外测试设施的公司，可以节省开发和测试他们的技术所需的一系列工艺和系统成熟所需的成本和不可避免的时间延迟。莲花提供安全的设施使客户能够极大地减少他们的开发时间和成本，并使产品能够更快地投放市场，降低风险。

Project BattCon is an innovative and technical project to pilot a new battery and battery technology testing facility within the UK and provide Lotus with the understanding to invest in a range of containerised test facilities in line with electric vehicle and energy storage market growth. As automotive and other sectors develop new and novel battery technologies there is an increased demand for suitable battery testing facilities and Project BattCon begins to address this problem by providing available and competitive battery testing opportunities for the UK battery supply chain and OEMs.The new state-of-the-art facilities will enable various battery characterisation tests, performance evaluations and component and lifetime testing to be performed under controlled conditions, providing feasibility study support early in the design phase of a new battery, and validation of the mature pack designs for implementation into product.Performance and component testing will include, but not limited to, capacity determination, resistance mapping, current and power mapping, open circuit voltage (OCV) determination and heat capacity. Lifetime testing is comprised of low voltage cycling, high voltage cycling, self-discharge determination, storage aging, cycle aging, drive cycle aging and orientation.Lotus will provide a safe area with specialist staff experienced in testing batteries, an activity that inherently carries significant potential risk. Companies new to the technology and those who would otherwise need to invest in additional test facilities, can save the cost and inevitable time delays in maturing their range of processes and systems, required to develop and test their technologies.Lotus providing a secure facility enables customers to dramatically reduce their development times and costs and enable products to be taken to market sooner and with reduced risks.
