A Polish company will increase the efficiency of its battery systems using AI. It has just received funding.

• On Tuesday, NCBR and Impact Clean Power Technology signed an agreement to finance the BMS platform for electric vehicles.
• Thanks to the implementation of AI systems, the efficiency and durability of battery systems managed by the new BMS will increase
• The project is being carried out by the Polish company Impact Clean Power Technology from near Warsaw.

According to the National Centre for Research and Development, the project "Development of an innovative Battery Management System (BMS) platform for managing a lithium-ion battery with built-in AI algorithms that increase the efficiency and correct use of the battery while maintaining the highest safety standards" is in line with the challenges of the modern market, such as battery performance, improving safety, extending the life cycle of cells, including cells of new, emerging technologies (e.g. LMFP), which, according to the current state of technology, are in the laboratory testing phase.

" As part of the FENG program, we support innovative projects that have the potential to transform the reality around us . Impact's project has the potential to accelerate the transformation of the transportation market towards zero and low emissions, increasing the reliability and efficiency of batteries used in electric vehicles," said Bożena Lublińska-Kasprzak, Deputy Director of the National Centre for Research and Development.

Impact wants to create an innovative BMS with a built-in AI system

Polish company Impact Clean Power Technology is a leader in the production of battery systems for electric buses and trucks . Co-financed by European Funds, the project involves research and development aimed at developing an innovative lithium-ion battery management platform (BMS) with embedded artificial intelligence algorithms (GenAI), aimed at increasing efficiency and optimizing battery utilization while maintaining safety standards .

"This is not just an investment in technology, but also in the future of sustainable development and energy security for Poland," emphasized Katarzyna Pindral, Vice President of Impact Clean Power Technology. "This project combines many important and timely topics, starting with battery safety, through the use of AI to optimize the battery life cycle, to local content and the role of Polish companies in the battery industry. It promises to be a global innovation, " she added.

The use of AI algorithms to determine the battery charge level and its wear will enable adaptive battery management, including intelligent control of the charging process and management of the depth of discharge.

The new BMS platform will also be designed taking into account IT and functional security standards, which means protection against unauthorized access , data manipulation, system disruptions and responses to detected failures.

Thanks to integration with proprietary AI algorithms, the system will be able to respond to threats, analyze data in real time, and ensure operational continuity even in challenging conditions. This is particularly important in public and heavy transport, where any failure can have serious consequences for the safety of people and infrastructure.

Impact's BMS is expected to represent a technological breakthrough that could set new standards in the industry. The system's ability to adapt to various cell types opens up new opportunities for battery and vehicle manufacturers, potentially significantly changing the dynamics of the entire supply chain in the electromobility sector, enabling them to effectively compete with combustion-powered vehicles.

The heart of the project is GigafactoryX - the Impact factory located in Pruszków near Warsaw, one of the most modern production plants in Europe.

NCBR is conducting another recruitment for the SMART Path

The National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) is conducting another call for proposals under the "SMART Path - Projects Implemented in Consortia" program until September 30th. The competition has a total budget of PLN 1 billion .

The call for proposals is addressed to consortia planning to implement comprehensive projects in the field of research and development, innovation implementation, development of R&D infrastructure, internationalization, development of competences of employees and company managers, digitalization and greening of business operations.

The R&D module is mandatory for consortia that include a large enterprise or research organization. For consortia that do not include these entities, the mandatory module is R&D or innovation implementation. Other modules may be implemented depending on the needs and specifics of the project.

In the coming days, CIS will publish an interview with Sebastian Wojtas, director of New Technologies Impact Clean Power Technology.
