The Mega-BRIC system is made of stackable servers of 56 portable elementary battery packs called BRIC. Each server has a total capacity of 22.5kWh. This project will involve research and development to improve the Mega-BRIC design and demonstrate that the tech and logic design can meet the requirements of a UPS system with regards to safety, efficiency and availability of the system.
We set out to design an innovative electronic system that allows for the thermal management and diagnostics of batteries on individual cell-level. Our design has a low cost thermal sensor attached to each cell for proactive battery management for the benefit and optimal performance of the entire battery pack. This system is ideal for end-of-life recycling and repurposing, as well as maintenance and servicing.
We designed a battery casing for long term use, easy maintenance, and cell replacement to maximize battery pack life and utilization of individual cells. We included innovative compression fittings for battery electrical conductive contacts and ensured that no welding, soldering, or gluing was necessary during assembly.
ALP Technologies was awarded another R&D funding from Innovate UK to develop our electronic automation control system based on smartphones and micro-controllers for small-scale industrial applications.
ALP Technologies was granted R&D funding from Innovate UK to develop a novel module li-ion battery storage solution called LEGO. It incorporates several innovative designs that address safety, cost and on-ground maintainability of a highly scalable battery module system.
