Contribution to the project

SINTEF leads the development of scalable control software for the hybrid energy storage system. This involves designing and validating algorithms for power and energy management, ensuring a seamless interaction between software and hardware and a safe, efficient and reliable operation of the system. Physics-based and data-driven models will be leveraged for state-of-health monitoring, fault diagnostics, and predictive maintenance. Working closely with partners, SINTEF will help creating detailed digital models that guide the optimal sizing and configuration of hardware components while ensuring the system meets rigorous safety standards. This integrated approach will enhance overall performance and extend the system’s lifecycle, laying the groundwork for future innovations in sustainable energy storage. After project completion, SINTEF will leverage the knowledge gained from HiHELIOS to offer new R&D services to the industry, contributing to future national and European projects.
