- Recognised expertise: member of the RS2E national electrochemical storage network
- An international network and extensive knowledge of battery applications
- Partnerships for additional tests (for example: STEEVE platform with INERIS)
- A research laboratory in the field of new generation batteries

Our offer
- Complete tests on electrochemical batteries in dedicated laboratories:
- Performance tests, cyclical ageing and calendar ageing, safety
- Development of test methods specific to your needs by simulating all types of electrical and thermal stress scenarios
- Assessment of the security protocols to be implemented from the unit to the system and BMS analysis
- Study of needs and concerted choice of the most appropriate technology on the market to meet your stationary or mobile application requirements
- Support to develop new battery solutions:
- Definition of needs and technical specifications
- Development of a prototype in our dedicated laboratories
- Consulting for the pre-industrialisation phase
Use case examples
Local authorities and renewable energy installers: Tests and assessment of battery solutions on electric buses or renewable energy farms in isolated areas or on constrained networks (references: 20 MW on the PJM network in the USA and 50 MW for the National Grid in the United Kingdom).
Start-ups: Work with many French and international start-ups wishing to test their innovations.
Vehicle manufacturers and battery manufacturers: Tests and assessment of batteries, standardisation, data collection, exchange of technological road maps.
International Automobile Federation ("Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile" or FIA): EDF R&D is the exclusive partner for tests on batteries fitted in vehicles competing in Formula-E championships.
