#DRI’s acquisition of the 133MW battery storage project in Trzebinia, Poland, got featured in Power Technology & Future Power Technology The outlet noted that the “acquisition aligns with DRI's strategic goal to develop up to 1GW of renewable energy and storage capacity in Poland by 2030. The Trzebinia battery storage project, for which DRI acquired building rights in March 2024, is on schedule to commence construction in the second half of the year.” Last week, we acquired 100% of shares from Columbus Energy S.A., making an important next step in the road to complete Poland's first large-scale storage project, with operations expected by January 2027. DRI’s involvement will enhance Poland’s grid stability and contribute to the country’s broader #renewableenergy goals, similar to its efforts in Romania, where it operates a 53 MW solar farm in Glodeni and a 60 MW wind farm in Ruginoasa—the first wind farm in Romania in a decade. #batterystorage #energytransition #DRIenergy

The Czech Republic, along with its Visegrad Group (V4) partners, is advancing in the electric vehicle sector, working towards a zero-carbon future. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dS_5Jp2z V4 EV Transition Highlights: Hungary: Ahead in market share and adoption, leader in foreign EV investment. Poland: Rapid EV market growth and significant EV/ battery production investments. Slovakia: Key automotive producer, slow in EV deployment, emerging EV/ battery projects. Czechia: Strong car industry, shy in EV adoption. Rich in lithium and in search of foreign e-battery investment. Challenges such as high costs, infrastructure needs, and public acceptance are being addressed through substantial investments and incentives. Stabilizing the energy market, regulatory improvements, and skill development will be essential for continued growth. Semantic Visions continues to monitor these developments, providing analysis and insights on the Czech EV industry.

Europe’s EV market has slowed in the first half of 2024, forcing automakers to scale back their ambitions. So far, however, central and eastern Europe has remained relatively untouched by this trend, and analysts believe the region has a good chance to keep its competitive edge, at least if local authorities play their cards right #batterysupplychain #gigafactories #electricvehicles #supplychainmanagement #capacitymanagement #polandauto #hungaryauto Andreea Maria Serbu Ron Stoop Stuart Stobie Antonie Kerwien Petr Dolejsi Vladislav Vorotnikov Megan Kelly ilkhan Ozsevim Anushka Dixit Christopher Ludwig Nick Holt Richard Logan Riad Mannan Ahmo Saric Daniel Harrison https://lnkd.in/et-tkTeB

🙌 dSPACE demonstrates innovative solutions for e-mobility at the Automotive Testing Expo Europe! You can look forward to exciting topics from the field of e-mobility and high-performance solutions for validation and testing. 🔋 One future topic is the development of reliable battery management systems for electric vehicles: They monitor the vehicle battery and are therefore an important success factor for the final breakthrough of e-mobility. We offer comprehensive support to adequately test these systems, thereby increasing the efficiency and performance of the battery. Another highlight is our new MicroLabBox II. You can use it for a great variety of e-mobility applications. We will also present our FPGA libraries, which can be used to build FPGA-based controllers easily and without expert knowledge. In addition, you can expect numerous other exciting topics from the fields of smart charging, virtual e-mobility validation, and much more. 🎤 Our colleague Hartmut Jürgens will give a presentation on the topic: 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗜𝗟 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗜𝗟 See you in Stuttgart? https://ow.ly/chRf50RJsgb #SmartCharging #AutomotiveTestingExpo #eMobility #BatteryManagement #ElectricVehicles #VirtualValidation

August is starting, bringing new compliance requirements for E-bike batteries according to the EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 Article 10 and 14. Let's have a look at Article 10: Starting August 18th 2024, LMT batteries (that includes e-bike batteries) placed on the Union market must be: (1) accompanied by a document containing information for electrochemical performance and durability parameters (2) updated in their technical documentation to include information on how the values for the electrochemical performance and durability parameters were measured, calculated or estimated Feel free to download the overview we have created! Another one for Article 14 is in the making - this one focuses on the BMS. The new battery regulation not only sets rules and targets for sustainability, performance, safety, collection, recycling and second life of EV, LMT and industrial batteries. Indirectly, it also encourages collaboration and digital integration along the supply chain - a necessity to ensure the easy flow of data to reduce manual tasks and bureaucratic efforts in compliance. That's where the NOCA portal can help, and why are having a close look at the Battery Regulation and the Digital Product Passport.

MAHLE and volytica diagnostics speed up statistical diagnostics for HV batteries The diagnostics solution delivers valuable information on the health and performance of a high-voltage battery during the charging process. With a time of 15 minutes or less, E-HEALTH Charge is currently the fastest statistical battery diagnosis on the market, according to its manufacturer. The diagnostics system consists of the E-CHARGE 20 battery charger and the E-HEALTH app, combining charging and diagnostics in a single operation. The application is vehicle and manufacturer-independent. E-HEALTH Charge can also be used purely as a DC charger.   The cooperation with volytica is especially important for evaluating the data collected by the charger and the on-board diagnostics interface. The data is collected in a secure cloud storage system, categorised in relation to previously recorded batteries of the same type and compared with the original capacity of the vehicle model. Shortly afterwards, a final report is provided via email.   “The partnership with MAHLE marks a decisive step towards greater transparency in the field of electromobility. With our innovative battery diagnostics solution, we are not only helping to provide lease returns with a fair valuation, but also making the used-car market for electric vehicles more transparent,” says Claudius Jehle, founder and CEO of volytica diagnostics. “Our motto ‘Acceptance through Transparency’ is at the heart of this initiative, which not only benefits buyers and sellers, but also promotes the acceptance and spread of electric mobility. In addition, we are making a significant contribution to environmental protection by saving up to two million tons of batteries from premature retirement every year and extending their service life by an average of five years through second-life applications.” Click here to access more news articles & deeper technical investigations into e-mobility ▶ https://lnkd.in/exVm22ce #batteries #charging #emobility #electricvehicles #diagnostics #batterymanufacturing

LFP-akkujen vahva meno tuottaa harmaita hiuksia eurooppalaiselle auto-, akku- ja kierrätysteollisuudelle: "On paper, their density is lower and the business model for recycling them is more complicated. But LFP batteries are making their way from China to Europe thanks to a strong argument: their price. ...according to Umicore's November analysis, LFP in China is heavily dependent on state subsidies and large stocks of phosphate (iron orthophosphate) there. This would make it "very difficult to duplicate" the LFP model elsewhere, not to mention that recycling it would be "not economically attractive". #akkuteollisuus #LFP #eurooppa #kierrätys #umicore https://lnkd.in/duTNw8bs

Poland’s new capacity market auction could hamper storage deployment: The draft parameters for this year’s capacity market auction in Poland could make the rollout of battery energy storage systems (BESS) much more difficult. The document proposes a significant reduction to the BESS derating factor that could be particularly harmful for longer duration storage systems. #Renewables #Energy #Technology
