在这个项目中，该联盟将在典型的汽车行业条件下向TRL6展示一个创新的钠镍(NaNiCl2)原型系统。该联盟由开发该项目核心电池的Lina Energy领导。其他合作伙伴是：*工艺创新中心--将研究回收/再利用Lina技术的挑战和机遇，并将支持扩大规模。*Helical Technology Ltd--将领导原型最终用户规格的设计。并为扩大规模并符合H&S和汽车行业所要求的质量标准做出贡献。*伦敦帝国理工学院--将随着开发进程对电池使用现代分析技术*兰开斯特大学--将提供先进的工程模拟，以提高电池性能*MEP技术有限公司--将负责包括电池管理系统在内的可重新配置电池组装，并将支持围绕电池和电池散热的活动。*华威大学--将就自动化和工艺设计提供建议。LiNa的设计有助于精益、低成本的大规模生产，使用成熟的、连续的工艺。C-额定值、体积能量密度和重量能量密度将超过最先进的LIB平台。通过E4tech验证的成本模型证实，LINA的解决方案将降低LIB的处理成本。到项目结束时，合作伙伴将提高单元性能，以实现产品目标。制造业将在扩大规模、脱碳和回收利用方面进行优化。开发和制造战略将完成。原型将被建造和运行，以演示TRL6。性能将由第三方专家独立验证。潜在的最终用户和投资者将获得他们所需的数据，以支持最后的开发阶段。

In this project, the consortium will demonstrate an innovative sodium-nickel-chloride (NaNiCl2) prototype system to TRL6 in representative automotive-sector conditions.The Consortium is led by LiNa Energy who develop the batteries at the heart of this project.The other partners are:* Centre for Process Innovation -- who will research the challenges and opportunities in recycling/re-use LiNa's technology and will support the scale-up.* Helical Technology Ltd -- will lead design of the end-user specification for the prototype, and contribute to scale-up and compliance with H&S and quality standards required by the automotive industry.* Imperial College London -- who will use modern analytical techniques on the cells as development progresses* Lancaster University -- who will contribute advanced engineering simulations to improve cell performance* MEP Technologies Ltd -- will be responsible for the reconfigurable battery assembly including the BMS, and will support activities around cell and battery thermals.* University of Warwick -- who will advise on automation and process design.LiNa's design lends itself to lean, low-cost mass-manufacture, using mature, continuous processes. C-ratings, volumetric and gravimetric energy densities will exceed state-of-the-art LiB platforms. Cost models validated by E4Tech confirm that LiNa's solution will undercut LiB processing costs.By project-end, the partners will have improved cell performance to meet product targets. Manufacturing will be optimised for scale-up, decarbonisation and recycling. Exploitation and manufacturing strategies will be complete.The prototype will be constructed and operated to demonstrate TRL6\. Performance will be independently validated by a third-party expert. Potential end users and investors will have the data they advised they require to support the final development phases.
