The next generation of Battery Management Systems is designed to improve interoperability, bridge the gap between first-life and second-life Battery Energy Storage Systems (SL-BESS), increase adaptability, and strengthen battery value chains.
WHAT IS BIG LEAP?
The BIG LEAP project is a Horizon Europe initiative aimed at improving the reliability of second-life batteries (SLBs) by addressing interoperability in Battery Management Systems (BMS). It develops a three-layer BMS architecture specifically designed for SLBs and integrates an adaptable Energy Storage System (ESS) to ensure safe performance from first-life (FL) to second-life BESS applications.
The BIG LEAP project is dedicated to overcoming barriers in the reuse of old batteries in energy storage
OBJECTIVES
The overall objective of BIG LEAP is to enhance Second-Life Battery Energy Storage Systems (SL-BESS) applications by designing efficient 3-layered Battery Management Systems (BMS) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS), ensuring economic viability, flexibility, and industry-wide standardization.
BMS and ESS development
with three layers that make it easy to reconfigure batteries for different applications.
In-site End-of-Life (EoL) diagnosis and safety recalibration. We aim to extend the operational lifetime of batteries while reducing refurbishing costs.
Offering three degrees of openness for swift industrial deployment through our innovative Battery Management System is interoperable, adaptable, and updatable.
