four-year multi-disciplinary research project is a collaboration between Prof. Trescases, a power electronics_x000D_
expert; Prof. Amon, a thermal management expert; and Havelaar Canada, a Toronto-based innovative EV_x000D_

This research addresses several key hurdles that limit the widespread penetration of EVs, namely the high cost_x000D_
and limited real-world performance of today's conservatively-designed lithium battery packs, which ultimately_x000D_
dictate the EV driving range and longevity. The goal of this research is to demonstrate disruptive battery and_x000D_
on-board charging systems that combine: (1) real-time impedance-based state-of-charge (SOC), state-of-health_x000D_
(SOH) and power availability determination at the cell level, (2) high-precision active balancing, (3) selective_x000D_
and localized liquid heating/cooling within the pack, and (4) optimal mechanical/power-electronics design to_x000D_
enable a seamless transition to grid-tied stationary battery applications. This research represents one of the first_x000D_
initiatives to provide a holistic design approach for transitioning EV batteries to stationary second-life_x000D_
applications. In this so-called "second-life", old and degraded EV batteries will be repurposed to stabilize the_x000D_
AC power grid and facilitate renewable energy integration, while further deriving value from the EV._x000D_
Ultimately, this research will lead to more affordable EVs, with a longer driving range in real-world conditions_x000D_
and a reduced carbon footprint. Havelaar will exploit the research outcomes, deploying them in their upcoming_x000D_
EV platforms and increasing Canada's competitiveness in clean transportation, while providing world-class_x000D_
