NEMO lifts the curtain on zBMS hardware: paving the way for next-generation battery management
Last week’s NEMO Webinar covered a variety of topics related to NEMO’s zBMS hardware, bringing together a large number of experts from across Europe.
Scientific progress relies heavily (if not primarily) on the exchange of knowledge. This was clearly reflected on Friday, 13 June, when over 70 participants joined the NEMO Webinar, ‘zBMS Hardware Unveiled: Enabling Next-Generation Battery Management’. The session provided an overview of the key components of NEMO’s zBMS architecture and its underlying technologies, focusing on a hardware perspective.
Moderated by Dr. Martina Weise (Full Stack Software Engineer) and Philipp Körner (Technical Consultant Data Science), both from IAV, the session featured presentations from experts from different NEMO partners:
- Thomas Percz (Hardware Design Engineer, IAV) presented the zBMS hardware and its core functions in ensuring cell safety, monitoring battery state, and storing warranty-relevant data.
- Norbert Sailer (Senior Engineer, IFAT) gave an overview of the IFAT EIS Chip and the computational analysis of its Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) response.
- Andreas Hutter (Co-director, Battery Innovation Hub, CSEM) shared results from zBMS cycling tests, covering topics such as challenges in exploiting EIS.
A lively Q&A session wrapped up the event, sparking reflections and exchanges among participants. Like pieces of a puzzle coming together, each presentation and question helped attendees enrich their understanding of next-generation battery management systems.
