FormEL - Investigation of process-quality-interdependencies between the formation process and the end-of-line quality check with the aim of an optimization and functional integration of these final production processes
FormEL adresses the investigation of process-quality-interdependencies between the formation process and the end-of-line quality check with the aim of an optimization and functional integration of these final production processes of lithium-ion batteries. Conventional formation and end-of-line test (EOL-test) procedures last several hours or days. These state-of-the-art formation and EOL-test procedures will be improved in FormEL regards time, costs and quality. Therefore, the interdependencies between the formation process and the EOL-tests are identified and analyzed with respect to the resulting and diagnosed cell quality. This process-quality-interdependencies are determined by parameter studies and are used in order to develop detailed models.
Therefore, it is necessary in Project FormEl to set up models for analysing the process-quality-interdependencies and describe formation and cell parameters from EOL-test adequately. As comparison industrial reference processes for formation and EOL-test are investigated and further improved. At the same time new methods and approaches for formation and EOL-testing are pursued. After successful validation these new methods and approaches are implemented in a first prototype with a functional integration of formation and EOL-testing.
These methods enable the optimization regards time, quality and costs during the production.
