Energy Storage & Battery Development
A battery installation is only as good as the engineering behind it.
Battery systems are appearing in more and more applications — vessels, vehicles, industrial equipment and stationary energy storage. Selecting the right cells, integrating the battery management system, designing the safety architecture, and making sure the whole thing works properly within the wider system it's connected to — that's where projects succeed or fail.
We take battery projects from initial concept through to a validated, integrated system — cell selection based on what the application actually needs, BMS integration, safety architecture and protection sequencing, and the supervisory logic that makes the whole thing behave within the wider system. Our experience spans marine, automotive, industrial and stationary installations. For multi-string installations, we also supply our own supervisory controller — Tirfinn (AMU) — coordinating protection, monitoring and safety across the whole battery system.
The Problem
The right cell on paper isn't always the right cell in the pack
Datasheet performance is the start, not the finish. Once a cell is in a real pack, operating in real conditions, the factors that matter are packaging, thermal behaviour, cycle life in your duty profile and safety in your specific environment. Those are different for a marine vessel, an industrial BESS and an automotive application — and getting them wrong is expensive.
What We Do
Help you decide what's right in the first place
Cell selection based on your application — not on which cells look best on a datasheet. We consider the packaging, cycle life, safety and cost that actually matter once the battery is in service.
Cross-sector experience
Marine — safety and protection in enclosed spaces. Automotive — weight and packaging. Industrial and stationary — cycle life and cost per kilowatt-hour. Cross-sector knowledge means practical solutions rather than starting from scratch each time.
Control, safety and integration layer
BMS integration, safety architecture, protection sequencing, system-level control and supervisory logic. Designed to work properly within whatever the battery is going into — not in isolation.
Our own AMU supervisory controller
For multi-string installations, we build and supply the Tirfinn — Array Management Unit (AMU) — managing coordination, protection and monitoring that sits above the individual battery management systems.
Validated against fault and abuse scenarios
BMS integration, protection sequencing and supervisory logic are exercised through model-in-the-loop (MiL), software-in-the-loop (SiL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) — over-current, over-voltage, contactor failure, communication loss and the rest of the scenarios that are unsafe or impractical to provoke on a real pack. See Test and Validation for our staged approach.
