JRC-IET Institute for Energy and Transport (IET) ~ 375 Staff ~ 285 Petten ~ 90 Ispra Petten, NL Ispra, IT • Mission: • To provide support to Community policies and technology innovation related to both: • Energy - to ensure sustainable, safe, secure and efficient energy production, distribution and use and • Transport - to foster sustainable and efficient mobility in Europe.  Independent of national or commercial interests….for the European citizen

Interoperability

Interoperability Letter of Intent: … focusing on electric vehicle interoperability with charging and smart grid equipment… 2 Interoperability Centres Technology harmonisation  Product innovation  Establishment global standards for electric mobility

IET Interoperability Centre E-Vehicle Component Smart grid testing testing - Grid simulations - EV performance evaluation - Grid architecture - Testing EV - Communication charging station interfaces - Road testing EV

E-vehicle testing at JRC Ispra • EV performance under variation of driving and environmental conditions  Input for advanced vehicle technologies • Evaluation of range, efficiency and energy consumption and conductive/inductive charging at different temperatures • Direct air pollutant and CO2 emissions (from hybrids), including modelling. • Recharge and interoperability tests at different temperatures (i.e. -20 ℃ , -30 ℃ , 20 ℃ , and 40 ℃ ), with several EVSE and EVs/PHEVs • Electromagnetic compatibility (including charging technologies) • Indirect emissions (from all EVs), Well to Wheels Analysis in cooperation with other groups and JRC Institutes.

Component testing Batteries: a key-enabling technology for e-mobility and interoperability Battery Energy Storage Testing for Safe Electrification of Transport 1 Battery cell/material Battery cell 3 2 performance testing Battery pack safety testing performance testing

BESTEST – Key issues Battery Energy Storage Testing for Safe Electrification of Transport 1 Battery cell/material Battery cell 3 2 performance testing Battery pack safety testing performance testing How far will my battery take • What happens when • me? • How can 'in-use' performance something goes wrong? How long will my battery last? • be optimised? What tests suitably • • Independent testing emerging Predicting battery behavior in • evaluate safety? technologies – reference role the vehicle • Battery hazards and safety Technology innovation • 'Seeing' inside cycling pack • considerations validation Designing safer battery packs • • Impartial safety evaluation Numerical modelling • of new chemistries

Experimental Facilities [3] • Battery cell abuse facility  4 abuse chambers (limit 450 Wh)  3 ARCs – cell and modules  Mechanical, electrical and thermal abuse capabilities  FTIR/GC/MS – gas emission analysis

Activity areas • Support to policy customers  Global Technical Regulation on EV Safety – UNECE WP29  DG ENTR  IEA - IA for HEV (Task 10 Electrochemistry and Task 21 Accelerated Ageing Testing for Li-ion Batteries)  DG ENTR/RTD • Industry needs  EUROBAT – MoU signed November 2012  EGVIA – Collaboration under consideration  Transatlantic Business Council (TABC)  JRC-Industry WG on e-mobility – alignment of JRC with industry's need • Standardisation needs…..  International – ISO/IEC  European – CEN/CENELEC  Other – SAE/UL/JIS  Harmonisation

Further International Activities 1997 "Agreement for Scientific and Technological Cooperation between the European Community and the Government of United States of America"  Extended for a 5-year period (starting 14 October 2013) Facilitate collaborations with US DOE labs and JRC w.r.t.: • Hydrogen • Batteries (NREL, Argonne, Sandia) • PVs • Smart grids • Energy efficiency

Further International Activities In 2011 the executive committee of 1998 Agreement approved establishment of two working groups on: • EV safety • EV environmental issues IG on EV Safety Development of GTR on unique safety risks posed by EVs and their components by end 2014 2015 to limit these risks:  In use and post-crash  Electrical shock and other hazards related to rechargeable energy storage systems (REESS)

Conclusion  E-mobility and interoperability: new activity at JRC  Battery performance and safety testing  Serving the interests of the EU citizens  Embedded in international context
