In the framework of STEPS, Aceleron was supported by the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany as well as Ghent University in Belgium to enhance its energy storage solutions. The support focused on the quantification of the benefits arising from residential battery usage. Aspects like the reduction of the electricity network usage as well as the potential decrease of greenhouse gas emissions were covered. In this context, ways to graphically deliver energy related information to the endusers were analysed. Furthermore, opportunities to interconnect batterysystems exploiting internet of the things technologies were reviewed.
Aceleron is an award-winning cleantechnology company founded in 2016 in Birmingham by Dr. Amrit Chandan and Carlton Cummins. After long investigations on existing battery packaging approaches,Aceleron patented a unique compression technology for the battery assembly. The new technology facilitates a simplified maintenance of the battery pack. Just recently Aceleron brought a new innovative standalone battery named Essential to the market, seen in image above. The Essential has a wide range of applications from transportation like motorhomes to stationary uses like remote telecomstations.
Dr. Laura Allerston from Aceleron gave a short interview to Panagiotis Mouratidis from Technical University of Darmstadt about their participation in STEPS and their future plans.
