Project Scope and Motivation
The collaboration aims at advancing battery system integration by linking high-voltage Battery Management Systems (BMS) with a secure, cloud-based Battery Passport. Building on the success of the first SeBaPaD demonstrator, this second phase scales the concept from module to pack level, addressing challenges in data hierarchy, communication, and computational complexity. The project supports the EU Battery Regulation and the growing need for traceable, circular battery systems.
Research and Development Focus
The project develops and validates a 500 V multi-module battery pack with real-time passport connectivity. Key R&D activities include implementing contactor control and precharge logic, extending BMS software for pack-level operation, and designing a hierarchical data model for lifecycle traceability. It also integrates cybersecurity and data interoperability frameworks to ensure safe, compliant, and transparent system behavior. The demonstrator showcases industrial readiness and supports future adoption.
Broader Impact and Outcomes
SeBaPaD 2 contributes to circularity, resource efficiency, and the Dutch high-tech ecosystem by providing a validated reference architecture for safe, traceable battery systems. Its outcomes are applicable to mobility, industrial, and stationary energy storage sectors. The project strengthens the Netherlands’ position in battery innovation and supports small and medium-sized manufacturers with accessible, regulation-ready platforms. Dissemination includes a technical report, webinar, and joint demonstration.
