ensuring specifications, including state-of-health
(SoH) and state-of-charge (SoC) reporting, cell
balancing and temperature stabilization.
Enhanced efficiency of the overall energy chain in
the system, including maximization of system
performance for both the application requirements
and battery lifetime.
System integration of electronics with photovoltaic
panels and the application of systems to allow
support of the smart grid over the Internet.
BattMan Targets
Include multi purpose communication capabilities
Enhance the system "intelligence"
System and prototype designs for the demonstrator
application of the Solar-powered Off-grid Street
Lighting (OSL).
Extend range of OSL to cold climates and higher
latitude installations.
Demonstration and reliability analyses, and design
for improvement.
BattMan Project Partners
BattMan is an EU collaboration of seven entities:
Research on Multiple OSL Options
Single off-grid pole solution
Battery pack, electronics and solar panel are mounted at each pole.
Multiple off-grid pole solution
Common battery pack and solar panel bank supply multiple poles.
DC micro grids architecture for multiple lighting poles.
Hybrid solutions for off- and on-grid power, including
demand/response through use of the solar energy
Communication at each pole to allow for remote monitoring
and commissioning
For both single and multiple pole installations
