As part of the scientific programme, IKERLAN, a partner in the BIGLEAP consortium, presented work connected to the project’s activities and ongoing research on advanced battery management and lifetime prediction.

Highlighting BIGLEAP’s contribution to the EV research community

IKERLAN’s presentation focused on the study “Dynamic Optimization of EV Charging Based on Periodically Updated Battery RUL Algorithm”, which explores new approaches to improving charging strategies for electric vehicles. The work reflects BIGLEAP’s broader ambition to support more reliable, efficient, and sustainable battery systems through advanced modelling and data‑driven methods.

The contribution presented at EVS38 included results generated within the BIGLEAP project, demonstrating how the consortium’s research is helping advance battery health assessment and smart charging solutions. This visibility reinforces BIGLEAP’s role within both the European and international research landscape.

Strengthening BIGLEAP’s international visibility

Participating in EVS38 offered an important opportunity to:

    • Share BIGLEAP’s progress with the global electric mobility community
    • Engage with key stakeholders across research and industry
    • Increase the project’s visibility in an international setting
    • Contribute to ongoing discussions on innovation in battery management

BIGLEAP’s presence at the symposium highlights the project’s commitment to active dissemination and collaboration, supporting the development of next‑generation of battery technologies in Europe.

RECIRCULATE 

RECIRCULATE is an EU funded project that aims to revolutionize the European battery sector by developing the technologies and systems required to enable cascading reuse of batteries and battery components at their end-of-life. RECIRCULATE envisions a future where batteries have an extended lifespan in second and third-life applications, and are only recycled when their maximum value has been extracted, leading to a more sustainable and resource-efficient battery sector.

Link

REINFORCE 

In the search for sustainable mobility and energy system transition solutions, batteries emerge as a fundamental technology for the advancement of electric cars, renewable energy storage, and the reduction of carbon emissions. 

REINFORCE aims at creating a circular value chain for batteries, which promises to transform the life cycle of these products. Used, defective and unstable batteries pose new challenges along the supply chain and require new industrial processes, automated equipment, and tracking systems, as well as new strategies to prepare them for a second or third life, or even for the recycling of their components and materials.

Link

BATMAX 

The main objective of the project is to contribute to improving battery system performance, safety, reliability, service life, lifetime cost and therefore to maximise the value created by operation of the battery systems in various kinds of end use applications. To concretise the pathways towards reaching the main objective, BATMAX partners are exploring emerging opportunities for optimised battery utilisation across the technical scope. The main objective is approached by creating a framework for next generation of battery management based on large amounts of data, both experimental, operational and synthetic, adaptable physics-based models, suitable reduced-order models for both physical BMS algorithms and real-time multi-scale digital twins.

Rebelion 

REBELION is a project funded by the European Union with the objective of addressing the waste management challenges posed by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) used in electric mobility. After their second life, recycling represents not only the most environmentally friendly alternative for batteries, but also a natural and economic resource since the raw materials contained in LIBs can be valorised for further manufacturing. This is particularly relevant in the EU, which is a net importer of critical raw materials while up to 40% of the EVs are sold in Europe. Therefore, a solid recycling industry can become the European mining equivalent, promoting both environmental and economic benefits to the EU region.

TradeRES 

The TradeRES project will develop and test innovative electricity market designs that can meet society’s needs of a (near) 100% renewable power system. A long-term sustainable market design needs to provide efficient operational and investment incentives for an electricity system that is characterized by a high share of variable renewable energy sources (VREs) by increasing integration with other energy sectors, e.g. transport and hydrogen, and by increasing participation of flexible electricity demand from households to industrial consumers. Furthermore, this market design needs to provide security of supply by ensuring sufficient controllable electricity generation capacity whilst being economically efficient. Finally, despite the variability of solar and wind energy, the market risks should be allocated in an efficient and socially accepted way. This should also safeguard that consumers are not exposed to extreme swings in their energy expenses. In this sense, this project aims at finding market designs that are economically efficient in the above setting. To achieve these goals the project will use an iterative methodology and involve the key players from the energy sector in order to achieve and test the most suitable market designs. The project TradeRES – Tools for the Design and Modelling of New Markets and Negotiation Mechanisms for a ~100% Renewable European Power System, is funded by the EU framework programme for research and innovation Horizon 2020 under the call H2020-LC-SC3-2019-ES-SCC.
