Centre for battery safety
Principal Investigator
Prof. Aravind Kumar Chandiran
Objective
- We are proposing to establish the centre that will specialize in technicalities of battery to keep them safe. The centre will also target creating appropriate materials and creating firefighting measures, in case of inadvertent mishaps.
Description
- The project will involve two phases, wherein the first phase three distinct activities related to the cell will be carried out, including building advanced cell test facility, experimentation and modelling, and certification. All different types of cell chemistries and their expected operational scenario will be studied during the first phase of the project. In the second phase, advanced module level test facilities will be built, and data generated from the phase I will be utilized to build safe battery modules.
Impact
- Although India has invested heavily on battery research, but it is mostly focused on battery materials and to carry out research at small cell level development. However, post cell manufacturing, the research from the cell going into module and their use in vehicles have not been explored heavily. This is an important area of research that will enable proper implementation of cell into modules and then for safe and successful deployment.
