Auger, Design, Modelling and Simulation of a Lithium-Sulphur Battery Pack for an Electric Bus, 2018, 4th Biennial International Conference on Powertrain Modelling and Control (PMC2018) Valdivieslo et al. Cathode for lithium sulfur batteries, 2017, European Patent Convention (EP17382465) ALISE has gathered an audience of > 50.000 persons within ALISE partners participating to > 50 events across Europe, America, and Asia, including massive worldwide dissemi- nation through specialist or generalist press and electronic media, supported by a database of > 15.000 stakeholders. New sensors for Li-S SoC and aging developed by CEIT New BMS including balancing for Lithium sulfur has been built by FICOSA from Cranfield SoC algorithmic Li-S Modules have been electrically assessed following NEDZ and WLTP driving cycle test by Williams Advanced Engineering for both PHEV and BEV hybridization. Li-S Modules passed the UN38.3 mechanical test. Li-S behavior has been simulated by SEAT from real cell data given by OXIS and Cranfield at Car level Dummy Battery pack is built by FICOSA containing all interfa- ces (electrical, thermal, mechanical) ready to host Li-S cells 3 cells generation and 2 modules generation built respecti- vely by OXIS Energy Ltd and Williams Advanced Engineering (Module level: 2.1 kWh, 173 Wh kg-1, 24.45 Ah, 82V) New state of the art for High Power together with High Energy generation Lithium sulfur cell: 21 Ah, 325 Wh kg-1 and 340 Wh L-1 with 80% C/5 BoL at 1C. ELECTRIC VEHICLE The project was initially focused to achieve 500 Wh kg-1 stable Li-S cell. The project involves dedicated durability, testing and LCA activities that will make sure the safety and adequate cyclability of battery being developed and available at competitive cost. The project approach brings real breakthrough regarding new components, cell integration and architecture associated. New materials have been developed and optimized regarding anode, cathode, electrolyte and separator. Complete panels of specific tools and modelling associated have been developed from the unit cell to the batteries pack. Activities are focused on the elaboration of new materials and processes at TRL4. The validation of the prototype was aiming to demonstrate to double the current driving range, corresponding to 100 km for PHEV. The potential behavior of the technology has been be also assessed at the module level for BEV. ALISE is more than a linear bottom-up approach from materials to cell. ALISE shows strong resources to achieve a stable unit cell, with a supplementary top-down approach from the final applica- tion to the optimization of the unit cell. ALISE in a nutshell 1. H2020-NMP-GV-2014, GA No666157, EU contribution 6,899,233 €, 15 partners, 06/2015 to 05/2019, activities expected to focus on TRL4. 2. 9 publications and 5 patents have been submitted or currently under preparation, and mostly related to new developments on material and processes, applicable for Li-S either Li-ion or Si/C-ion. • U.
