Company description

Brill Power has developed a lithium-ion battery pack which can combine cells from different chemistries and allows the replacement of individual cells within it.

Project impact

(1) Together with Delta Motorsport, Aston Martin Lagonda and Imperial College London, as part of an InnovateUK project, Brill Power is designing, building and testing a hybrid battery system for high-performance vehicles. The Brill Power BMS enables the combination of high energy-density and high power-density devices in a single energy storage system, without a separate DC/DC converter. Another innovation developed as part of this project will be a software toolkit for optimal hybrid energy storage system design and simulation. (2) Brill Power's Pozibot project aims to develop a novel, dynamic warranty insurance product for batteries which, with the help of AI, goes beyond traditional risk calculation and forecasting and enables the insurance provider to conduct prescriptive analytics based on real-time battery health and usage data. Brill Power's contribution to the project includes a BMS solution for both stationary energy storage and electric vehicles, which communicates the low-level battery data necessary for such a dynamic warranty insurance approach. (3) In 2021, Brill Power launched their new BrillMS B62 battery management system which can increased battery pack lifetime up to 60% and improve reliability and storage capacity by up to 129%. The technology has been independently accredited by DNV GL.
