The list of projects:
Development and verification of a new generation trolleybus based on battery and catenary network power supply with a dedicated and adjusted to continuous work energy storage
Project contractors and partners:
Consortium: Solaris Bus & Coach Spółka Akcyjna (project leader) – Impact Clean Power Technology S.A.
Project Name: TrolBaSi
Contract No: POIR.01.02.00-00-0313/16-00
Projecy value: 11 124 735, 21 PLN
Fund value: 6 226 345,90 PLN
Realisation period: 01.02.2017 r. – 31.07.2019 r.
Project has received funding from European Union’s Regional Development fund
The project is a part of Operational Programme Smart Growth 2014 – 2020 and sectoral programme “INNOMOTO” as a part of Operation 1.2 “Sectoral R&D Programme” implemented by National Centre for Research and Development.
The aim of this project is to develop, manufacture and introduce an innovative trolleybus with additional battery supply system of facilitated possibility of continuous ride using energy storage. The designed trolleybus will be equipped with telemetric system enabling an operator the control over energy use of the whole fleet and its optimisation through the possibility of changing a vehicle power source to battery at chosen route sections and during high energy demand on grid e.g. traffic peak hours. The implementation of small yet cutting-edge lithium-titanate battery with water cooling helps reaching estates and places where development of trolleybus traction lines is inviable. In city centres new route possibilities will open as it will be possible to enter areas with no trolleybus infrastructure.
Overall it will help extend commuting routes and boost trolleybus fleets’ as part of promoting green means of transport. The costly development of new traction has been so far the greatest obstacle for the cities against wider application of trolleybus transport. The solutions offered by this project combined and implemented into one vehicle will account for the first such unique system in the world.
The project assumes the boost of battery power density, the development of predictively controlled comfort air-conditioning system, and making it possible to control the battery from fleet, and not vehicle, level in order to balance power fluctuations. The supply of vehicle from battery will not constrain its performance parameters. Crucial features of this solution will be modularity and scalability which helps custom a battery system.

The aim of this project is to develop an innovative, global, intelligent, scalable electronic control unit for electriic and hybrid vehicles – Electronic Control Unit with a broad spectrum of use and low costs of production below 100 units. The project requires a universal platform for HEV and EV vehicles at different stages of project development (e.g. through building-in the prototype at the stage of creation or replacing the existing solution), e.g. as a module of function – DCU (Door Control Unit) under the supervision of another on-board computer or a function of a defused-control computer system – DCCS-ECU (Distributed Computer Controlled System-Electronic Control Unit).Also envisaged is the use of ECU computers, designed for PEV cars (Plug-in electric vehicle) and PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) that enables the optimization of energy use as well as increases the capacity and range of travel.
This project includes the stage of industrial and development research, followed by the patent registration and the implementation stage.

TAILORed Energy Distributions for Laser WELDing

Contract number: Grant Agreement 606046 dated 18.11.2013
Total project realisation cost:126 664.72 PLN
Fund value: 35 738.22 PLN
Realisation period: November, 2013 – July, 2016
THIS PROJECT HAS RECEIVED FUNDING FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION’S SEVENTH FRAMEWORK PROGRAMME AS A PART OF “RESEARCH FOR THE BENEFIT OF SME ASSOCIATIONS” ACTION
The TailorWeld project aims at developing and demonstrating an innovative laser welding system, which uses simple and robust diffractive optical elements, to increase the flexibility and simplify the application of laser welding thus removing the key barrier to entry for a large number of SME’s fabricators. Most existing laser systems are fitted with either a standard process head or a 2D galvanometer scanner – both of which deliver a “standard” Gaussian or “top-hat” energy distribution to the work piece. However, this relatively simplistic energy distribution is not directly suitable for many applications and laser welding significance expertise is required in order to develop acceptable process parameters. Laser beam welding with tailored energy distribution produced by galvanometer beam scanner is possible but this technology is not economically attractive. Diffractive optical elements are a robust, simple tool and are capable of producing (virtually) unlimited tailored energy distributions.

Large capacity energy storage systems cooperating with renewable energy sources
Beneficiary name: Impact Clean Power Technology S.A.
Contract number:GEKON1/O2/213518/37/2015 z dnia 5.03.2015 r
Total project realisation cost: 6 799 639,00 PLN
European Union participation: 5 223 493,00 PLN
Realisation period:from 1.10.2014 r. to 31.09.2016 r.
PROJECT HAS RECEIVED FUNDING FROM THE NATIONAL CENTRE FOR RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT AND NATIONAL FUND FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND WATER MANAGEMENT.
The prime objective of the project is to initiate the production of two innovative energy storage system groups able to work with renewable energy sources in decentralized generating stations. The first (A) group of storage systems is dedicated to cooperate with big renewable energy sources, whereas the second (B) group enables the storage of energy directly at individual recipients’ facilities (households).
The project’s prime objective will be achieved in research phase which consists of two subphases: industrial research and development and, further, the introduction stage.
The realization of research phase will result in generating technological assumptions and the production of cabinet battery systems’ prototypes for the two target production groups, group A (High power and high capacity systems, above 1MWh) and group B (smaller modular battery systems with power up to 50 kWh), respectively. As a part of the research phase the industrial tests will be conducted which embrace performance, thermal, and mechanical tests of separate cells, modules, and battery cabinets. The development works will be carried out in mechanical, electric, electronic, and software designs of single module and battery cabinet.
The realization of implementation phase will result in the building and equipping of production site (in, among others, production base, assembly line, and quality laboratory) dedicated to the production of the both groups of electric energy storage systems.
The two energy storage systems being the result of the project realisation will be constructed using of lithium-polymer cells. This technology will help to achieve higher density of the stored energy and profoundly lengthen the life of the offered solutions.
