Abstract: The project is carried out in the scientific discipline Automation, Electronics, and Electrical Engineering. It consists in the construction of an innovative, modular and mobile energy storage. The innovation of the final product will be determined by, among other things: - Intelligent power and energy flow management system; - Ability to quickly prototype new algorithms for power and energy flow control, depending on the needs of the end user - Possibility of connecting to both AC and DC networks - Elimination of the possibility of damage due to self-discharge - Ease of power and energy increase through parallel connection of independent modules - Optimisation of RES* operation by increasing the level of self-consumption. The tasks to be carried out under the project include - Development of assumptions and selection of storage components, - Verification and destructive testing of electrochemical cells, - Detail modelling of energy storage components, - Development of the storage model, - Development of controller and algorithms for intelligent storage management, - Assembly of individual components in a laboratory environment, integration of control and master algorithms and intelligence, - Laboratory testing of key components of the prototype, - Fabrication of three prototype energy storage units, - Validation studies of the prototypes after an extended period of operation, - Adjustment of algorithm settings and implementation of intelligence The final product will be able to be used in/as: - Fast charging of electric vehicles with poor electricity infrastructure. - End stops for electric buses and hybrid trolleybuses at the city periphery - Production facilities with high intermittent power demand - Distribution network operators with problems to maintain network quality parameters. - Electricity producers including energy from RES
