The battery landscape today is exceptionally diverse, driven by the specific needs of a wide variety of applications across automotive, industrial, and consumer markets. Each application today has specific cell requirements, and yet there’s still many more to come that can benefit from electrification.

Ground Support Equipment are rapidly becoming electrified, but an airport’s demanding working environment means that reliability and safety are two key considerations, so choosing the right battery architecture is essential.

CAMY has collaborated with Dukosi to develop a high performance battery expressly designed for airport ground support vehicles (GSE) using the Dukosi Cell Monitoring System (DKCMS) battery architecture.

The Dukosi 54 channel reference design represents an end-to-end BMS using DKCMS, ready for one module in a full-size BESS application. It reflects a typical battery module configuration suitable for a 900-1500V rack, based on a choice of BMS host system that uses 3 x 18 channel AFE’s.

There can be 100s of cells in a high-power battery pack, and the status of every one must be captured synchronously in a single snapshot, multiple times a second, with each snapshot being relayed to the BMS host with deterministic latency to achieve optimal performance.

Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft represent an emerging class of battery-powered vehicles that offer distinct advantages. Operational safety and system redundancy are primary considerations when developing a new aircraft. Therefore, adopting solutions explicitly designed to maximize safety and reliability in battery systems can accelerate development.

Smart Cells can unlock next-generation battery designs that bring a wealth of new features to improve performance, increase safety and extend battery life, whether it’s for electric vehicles or battery energy storage systems.

Dukosi and Forward Engineering have partnered to create a proof-of-concept smart battery enclosure that demonstrates the simplicity of integrating the near field communication antenna from the Dukosi Cell Monitoring System (DKCMS) directly into the lid of the enclosure.

The electrification of marine applications, including marine vehicles and newer innovations like offshore battery storage, demands more rigorous safety and reliability in battery designs, which Dukosi’s unique solution offers.

Commercial BESS require long-term battery performance and reliability, while safety regulations must also be strictly observed. Insurance costs also impact profitability, making risk reduction essential wherever possible. In all these areas, Dukosi’s unique battery architecture offers several advantages over traditional battery designs, particularly in the accuracy of cell temperature monitoring.
