Capstone Project

BatteREuse

Problem

Global efforts to mitigate climate change through both e-mobility and energy storage are curtailed by hidden costs associated with Lithiumion (Li-ion) batteries: high energy intensity, limited cycle life, and disposal barriers.

Approach

The team performed 20+ subject matter expert interviews with awide variety of stakeholders across the battery lifecycle, including: cell manufacturers, system integrators, fleet owners, energy storage experts, second life battery repurposers, utilities, and recyclers.

Solution

The team built a scalable framework to collect battery usage data & provide actionable repurposing insights. This involved the development of an ESS, data collection pipeline, configurable dashboard UI & battery management system (BMS).
