About:Energy, a pioneering battery modelling software company, today revealed a technology demonstrator for battery management systems developed with the support of STMicroelectronics.
About:Energy has seamlessly integrated its industry-leading Voltt battery data with STMicroelectronics’ versatile automotive solutions, to empower companies to develop safe, efficient, and cost-effective Battery Management Systems (BMS) in-house.
The offering tackles the time and cost-intensive BMS development process by combining About:Energy’s validated battery data across diverse chemistries with STMicroelectronics’ AutoDevKit platform.
This streamlines design cycles, protects IP, accelerates BMS prototyping, and enables comprehensive solutions for safety monitoring, efficiency optimisation, state of charge assessment, and fast charging.
The integrated BMS solution showcased its capability at the Plug and Play EXPO2024 in Stuttgart on June 6th, where it won the Global Innovation Award.
Gavin White, co-founder and CEO of About:Energy said
“We are thrilled to collaborate with STMicroelectronics, a renowned leader shaping the future of automotive electronics. By fusing our expertise in battery modelling with their cutting-edge hardware and software, we are empowering companies of all sizes and across industries from electric vehicles, aviation, grid storage and more, to unleash new levels of safety, efficiency and performance in their electrification initiatives.”
STMicroelectronics support BMS technology by combining its automotive solutions with About:Energy’s innovative models, enabling companies to transform their electrification visions into reality while safeguarding intellectual property.
