Uniresearch was hired by the consortium partners to guide the whole grant application process, which includes compiling information from partners and writing of new texts based on Uniresearch and partner expertise. In the HIGREEW project itself, Uniresearch will be responsible for project management, communication between the consortium partners and from the consortium to the EC and will have a leading role in the dissemination and exploitation of the project results.
The objective of HIGREEW (Affordable High-performance Green REdox floW batteries) is to design, develop and validate and advanced redox flow battery, based on new water-soluble low-cost organic electrolyte compatible with optimized low resistance membrane and fast electrodes kinetics for a high energy density and long-life service. Battery engineering will focus on two themes: 1) an affordable balance of plant to optimise performance through advanced control strategy, achieving a LCOS of < 0.10€/kWh/cycle (end of project) and 0.05€/kWh/cycle (by 2030) and 2) recycling, to minimise the environmental cost of the battery installations. The battery prototype will be tested and validated in the pilot plant of Siemens Gamesa located in Spain.
The project consortium consists of 9 partners from 5 EU countries.
