The FreeTwinEV project

The FreeTwinEV project, funded by European Union under the Horizon Europe programme, focuses on enhancing Slovenská technická univerzita v Bratislave research capacities in advanced battery management systems through Digital Twinning.

A digital twin is a virtual model that accurately reflects a physical object. For batteries, this means improvements in lifespan, efficiency, and overall performance which are critical for both mobile and stationary applications.

Dr. Gabriel Gálik the project coordintor from Faculty of Electrical Engineering STU, stated, “The FreeTwinEV project is not just about advancing battery technology but is also a strategic move to amplify Slovakia’s contribution to the European Green Deal. By extending battery life by just 20%, we could cut down CO2 emissions by up to 40 million tons annually. This is a significant stride towards sustainability.”

Peter Cuninka, Director of Centre of European Projects, Cooperation with Practice, Innovations and Technology Transfer at STU stated: „The project creates a robust partnership among prestigious institutions, including the University of Twente (NL), Linz Center of Mechatronics GmbH (AT), and ADDSEN, s.r.o. (SK).
