Dukosi Ltd, the technology company revolutionizing the performance, safety and sustainability of high-power battery systems, announces its collaboration with A123 Systems LLC (“A123”), a global leader in advanced lithium-iron battery technologies, and Nuvation Energy, a North American provider of battery management and energy control solutions, with a proof-of-concept (PoC) high capacity battery solution for battery energy storage systems (BESS) targeting the North American market.
The proof-of-concept reference platform represents a comprehensive end-to-end battery solution that combines A123’s 587 Ah prismatic form factor, high-capacity lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cell technology with Dukosi Cell Monitoring System (DKCMS®) with C-SynQ® proprietary communications and battery management system (BMS) designed by Nuvation, to create a highly scalable, safer, and more reliable contactless architecture. Together, the collaboration demonstrates how high-capacity LFP cell technology, pack/system design, chip-on-cell monitoring, BMS, and EMS technologies can be integrated to support scalable, safer, and more reliable BESS applications for the North American market. Designed in a 1P13S module configuration typical for battery energy storage applications, a PoC live demonstrator will showcase A123’s next generation ESS LFP cell technology with a Nuvation L2 BMS and Dukosi’s intelligent chip-on-cell technology. This turnkey BESS solution will enable system integrators and project developers to deploy and scale battery storage projects in North American with safer, more secure and reliable battery systems that support regulatory compliance and bankable warranties.
“Working together with A123 and Nuvation is enabling a solution that improves the safety, reliability, and performance of the high-capacity LFP cell technology in power-dense modules needed for demanding battery energy storage applications. Batteries are key to stabilizing the power demands of grid-scale projects to AI data centers, ensuring the “five nines” uptime requirement while also providing unprecedented data insights. Using DKCMS ensures these deployments benefit from industry-leading cell-temperature and voltage accuracy, event logging, improved maintainability, and better performance over the long term.”
Joseph Notaro, Chief Revenue Officer at Dukosi said, “This collaboration reflects A123’s focus on delivering high-capacity LFP cell technology for demanding energy storage applications. By combining A123’s cell expertise with Dukosi’s chip-on-cell monitoring technology and Nuvation Energy’s BMS design, the proof-of-concept BESS solution shows how collaboration across cell, monitoring, and system-level technologies can support safer, more reliable, and more serviceable BESS architectures for the North American market.”
Sandro Morero, Director of Engineering at A123 Systems LLC said “BMS and EMS controls are critical control electronics of a BESS, the brains that govern safety, performance, and all of the data the system generates. That intelligence should be designed from the cell up by engineers in the region where the system will operate, accountable to the standards and security expectations of that market. Through our partnership with A123 and Dukosi, we are pairing North American-engineered control electronics with DKCMS-enabled smart cells from A123, giving operators supply chain security and cybersecurity compliance without compromise. This is how we build an energy future that is both globally collaborative and locally trusted.” said Michael Worry, CEO/CTO at Nuvation Energy
This PoC solution highlights the flexibility, safety and reliability required to deploy and scale battery storage projects and the benefits of collaboration to address growing markets with proven and compliant solutions.
