support for green food production

Sometimes it's said that the food we eat consists of oil. In fact, there is a lot of truth in that. It takes quantities of imported oil and compressed natural gas (CNG) to power food production. In addition, large amounts of electricity are consumed. There is currently a lot of work going on to move foodproduction towards a more sustainable line
Security of supply / Expertise

Energy supply within total defence

Energy supply in total defense and crisis preparedness is about being able to handle Sweden's energy needs even during crisis and war.
Hydrogen / Area

Hydrogen

The climate transition requires Swedish industry and transport to replace fossil raw materials and fuels with sustainable alternatives. Hydrogen is identified as a key technology, but the path to achieving this is complex. How can fossil-free hydrogen be produced cost-effectively? Which materials can withstand high pressures and extreme temperatures? How can safe handling be ensured throughout the value chain? And how can hydrogen production be integrated into existing energy systems to become profitable? Companies, municipalities, and regions planning or implementing hydrogen initiatives need science-based support throughout the journey. RISE helps you navigate the hydrogen transition with interdisciplinary expertise spanning the entire value chain, from mapping and analysis, through testing and verification, to infrastructure development and ensuring safe handling. We run projects that test liquid hydrogen for shipping, prepare airports for hydrogen-powered aircraft, and optimize production through sector coupling with district heating. The Swedish Hydrogen Development Center brings together industries, energy companies, and technology suppliers to accelerate development and share knowledge about industrial hydrogen use.
Batteries / Area

Batteries

The acceleration of electrification means that batteries are becoming crucial in everything from vehicles to energy storage and industrial applications. At the same time, demands are increasing: batteries must be able to withstand extreme conditions, comply with EU battery regulations, be designed with a view to being reused and recycled, and be produced on a large scale without compromising safety or sustainability. This requires companies to invest in testing, expertise and regulatory compliance, which can be difficult to manage internally. Throughout the entire battery value chain – from raw materials to recycling – RISE provides support in the form of testing, certification and development, which shortens time-to-market. Batteries are tested in world-leading facilities where safety and performance are verified under extreme conditions and in different climates. Whether it's material development, production optimisation, safety testing, module design or recycling processes, companies have access to expertise and infrastructure for both technical breakthroughs and compliance with legal requirements, whether it's material development, production optimisation, safety testing, module design or recycling processes.

Climate testing of batteries – Battery testing

Name of service (page headline, shown in promos – maximum of 70 characters incl. spaces): Climate testing of batteries – Battery testing Lead (include SEO-words and the main benefits for your target groups. Stick to one paragraph, maximum 2-3 sentences):

Climate testing of batteries is performed to evaluate or determine that a battery can operate in and handle different climates. These tests are essential to ensure battery performance and to fulfil specific requirements for the battery's intended use.

 Purpose/Benefit:

Climate testing of batteries is a testing method that examines how a battery performs under different climate conditions. It involves testing the battery for various parameters such as temperature and humidity. These parameters may also be combined with other factors such as vibration, electrical cycling, internal cooling or other factors that may affect the battery's performance, reliability and safety.

 Method (what/which methods are used to perform the service):

Climate testing of batteries is essential to ensure that batteries fulfil the requirements of their application area. There may be different requirements in different markets. For example, one market may require cycling between high and low temperatures, while another requires moisture testing. Climate testing of batteries prevents problems such as reduced capacity, overheating, leakage or fire. Climate testing also provides valuable input to the design and construction of the battery.

 Delivery (what does the client get after performed service – e.g. a report, certificate etc.):

Climate testing of batteries involves placing a battery in equipment that can produce low or high temperatures with (or without) increased (or decreased) relative humidity. A battery is typically exposed to temperature changes within a temperature range of -40 °C to +72°C. The battery may spend several hours in each extreme temperature during each cycle, lasting from a few days to several weeks. Sometimes, the temperature change can also include a humidity cycle, which means that the relative humidity of the surrounding environment changes, usually between 10% RH and 98% RH.

Joe explains about climatic testing at RISE. English subtitles.

Battery performance is measured and verified.

Battery performance is measured and verified before, during, and after the climate test. Relevant measurements are voltage, temperature, impedance, self-discharge and battery reliability. These measurements and verifications are done to evaluate and to ensure that specific requirements are met. Inspections are made along the process. These range from visual inspections to more detailed ones, where the test object is taken apart to examine if there is internal damage on the battery.

Climate testing of batteries at RISE

We can help you with climate testing of batteries for several different applications. Climate testing is carried out in climate test cabinets and walk-in chambers, depending on the battery's dimensions and mass. RISE performs climate testing on batteries according to several international standards. We also test according to customer requests, adapting the test to your company's requested specifications and requirements. Our experts help you through the entire process, from planning, implementing and analysing the climate tests.

 

Climate testing is included in these standards

RISE is an accredited lab according to ISO 17025. We are also accredited for several standards in the IEC 60068 series for our methods in environmental resistance for dry heat, cold, temperature cycling and temperature cycling with humidity.

We are accredited against several battery standards, including UNECE R100, which specifies the requirements for rechargeable battery systems in motor vehicles. Vibration testing is also included in UN38.3, which relates to the transport of dangerous goods, a regulation that must be met to transport lithium-ion batteries.

Vibration testing of batteries – Battery testing

Name of service (page headline, shown in promos – maximum of 70 characters incl. spaces): Vibration testing of batteries – Battery testing Lead (include SEO-words and the main benefits for your target groups. Stick to one paragraph, maximum 2-3 sentences):

Vibration testing of batteries is carried out to ensure that batteries can withstand the vibrations they may be subjected to in different applications. This is important to guarantee the safety and functionality of the battery. In some cases, it is necessary to fulfil national and international requirements.

 Purpose/Benefit:

A vibration test of batteries is a test in which batteries are subjected to various levels of vibration. This is done to examine whether the battery can withstand vibrations associated with its intended use. The test involves investigating and detecting resonances or testing reliability. It is also possible to investigate battery endurance through accelerated vibration testing.

 Method (what/which methods are used to perform the service):

Vibration testing of batteries is essential to ensure the battery's design and to secure that the battery fulfils its specific requirements and regulations. Through vibration testing, the design's robustness and reliability are evaluated. This way, input is obtained early in the development and can give input to adjustments and security measures early in the process. This helps avoid technical shortcomings and high costs. 

 Delivery (what does the client get after performed service – e.g. a report, certificate etc.):

A battery vibration test involves mounting the battery as a component, using a suitable fixture on equipment, where the equipment can generate different types of vibration profiles and mechanical shocks. A typical fixture for our equipment is an aluminium plate with the hole pattern M10 and pitch 70x70 mm. After mounting the battery, the equipment is programmed for a specific vibration profile or shock.

Which vibration tests are common?

The most common vibration shocks are sinus, random vibration or half-sinus shocks. The duration of the vibrations can vary but are usually carried out from a few hours to several days per direction. The shocks can range from a few per direction to thousands. Usually, the battery is subjected to vibration and shock testing in three different directions, where the battery is tested in one direction at a time. 

Vibration testing of batteries at RISE

Since vibration testing of batteries involves a high risk, testing safety must be high. Thus, high safety is integrated into our labs and our work. You can be physically present or participate remotely during vibration testing, depending on the current test specification. In our labs, in addition to the control rooms, there are dedicated workplaces and social areas for those who test with us.

Vibration testing and temperature cycling

Vibration testing can be combined with other environmental tests, such as temperature cycling. Combining environmental loads in this way makes it possible to evaluate multiple parameters and, by this, fulfil specific requirements or standards.

Vibration testing in standards

RISE is an accredited laboratory according to ISO 17025. We are also accredited to several standards under the IEC 60068 series for our methods in environmental resistance, specifically for sine, random vibration and mechanical shock. 

We are also accredited to several battery standards, including UNECE R100, which specifies the requirements for rechargeable battery systems in motor vehicles. Vibration testing is also included in UN38.3 for the transport of dangerous goods, which is a requirement that must be met for the transport of lithium-ion batteries.

The results of the vibration test

After conducting vibration tests with us, you will receive the test results in a written report.

Division: Division Safety and Transport

How can hydrogen electrification of the value chain for forestry transports take place in Värmland? This is to be answered through close collaboration with relevant stakeholders within the value chain for forestry transports in Värmland, in order to collectively design, describe, and assess whether a future pilot project on hydrogen electrification of this transport segment is suitable in Värmland.

The work is complemented by comprehensive descriptions and analysis across economics, technology, energy supply, user perspectives, as well as regulations and legislation.

Questions that the project aims to address include:

  • Which parts of the value chain for hydrogen-electrified forestry transports are currently in place? What is missing?
  • What are the risks for each party involved, and how can the risks be distributed?
  • When will each part of the value chain be completed?
  • Where are potential bottlenecks?
  • Will the system as a whole be sufficiently competitive?

The project also produces a general descriptive report on how hydrogen electrification of forestry transports can be implemented in a region. The report is based on the expertise gained from Värmland through this project and translates it to other counties with a high proportion of forestry transports.

On this page, public documents will be published throughout the project's duration.

När elbilen flyttar in! Samordnad styrning av värmepumpar och elbilar

När elbilen flyttar in!
En person laddar sin elbil

Pristoppar på el och effekttariffer gör att det kan bli mer intressant och viktigt för hushåll att styra sin elanvändning för att minska kostnader. I det här projektet undersöker vi hur elbilen och värmepumpen i ett hus kan styras tillsammans för att hålla nere kostnader och samtidigt fungera i hushållens vardagsliv.

Byggd miljö Elektromobilitet Energi

Division: Använd ej - Division Samhällsbyggnad

Projektets mål

Målet med projektet är att ta fram en simuleringsmodell för att samstyra värmepumpen och elbilen i ett hushåll för att undvika effekttoppar och höga elpriser, baserat på kör/ladd-mönster, liksom elanvändningen för värmepumpen. Vi kommer att testa olika styrstrategier, exempelvis för hur man laddar bilen eller till vilken grad man vill optimera priset, och beräkna vilken effekt det har på hushållets elräkning. Hur en sådan här styrning kombineras med olika typer av flexibilitetstjänster*, för att det ska bli mest ekonomiskt fördelaktig för hushållet, kommer också undersökas. Ett annat mål är att undersöka hur styrningen skulle kunna fungera i praktiken genom att inkludera hushållens perspektiv, behov och aktiviteter i analysen av styrningens för- och nackdelar. Detta görs genom en användarundersökning där vi intervjuar hushåll för att förstå hur en eventuell styrning kan behöva utformas för att fungera i deras vardag. Ett ytterligare syfte med projektet är att öka det tvärvetenskapliga samarbetet mellan olika vetenskapliga discipliner, men också mellan akademi och intressenter från industrin, i forskning om flexibilitet och styrning av elanvändning.

Nya prismodeller för el påverkar kostnader i småhus

Bakgrunden till projektet är att förändringar i elsystemet samt ökad efterfrågan på el leder till att fler nätbolag och elhandelsbolag inför prismodeller och effekttariffer som ska ge incitament för hushåll att jämna ut sin elanvändning, snarare än att använda alla apparater i ett hem samtidigt. För hushåll i småhus är värmepumpar ett av de vanligaste sätten att värma upp hemmet, och en växande andel av dessa hushåll har numera också elbil. I sådana hushåll utgör oftast elbilen och värmepumpen också en stor del av en villas energi- och effektuttag, speciellt när värmepumpens tillsatsvärmare är i drift.  Det finns därför anledning att titta på om dessa kan styras på ett mer kostnadseffektivt sätt, för att inte bidra till ytterligare pris- och effekttoppar. Detta kan gynna både hushållens ekonomi och minska belastningen i elnätet, och samtidigt underlätta för användandet av förnybara energikällor och elektrifiering av samhället.

Samstyrning som tjänst

Vi är också intresserade av att undersöka förutsättningarna för samstyrning av elbil och värmepump som en framtida tjänst. För att en samstyrning ska kunna fungera och vara effektiv i verkligheten behöver dock hushållen vilja och kunna tillämpa en sådan styrning i sina vardagsliv. Tidigare forskning har visat att tekniska system som inte tar hänsyn till användarens behov och beteenden ofta blir mycket mindre effektiva än vad som beräknades. Dessutom kan sådana system ge icke önskvärda konsekvenser som till exempel förstärkta könsroller eller orättvis fördelning av kostnader i samhället. Därför arbetar vi tvärvetenskapligt i detta projekt med både tekniska och sociala perspektiv på samstyrningen.

I projektet samarbetar vi med forskare från Högskolan Dalarna samt med aktörer från branschen så som elnätsbolag, elhandelsbolag, energibolag, värmepumpsföretag, företag för smart styrning av energiteknik, och tillverkare av laddboxar till elbilar.

*Flexibilitetstjänster är tjänster där hushållen kan få en intäkt, eller kostnadsbesparing, genom att exempelvis vara flexibla i sin elanvändning.

Fire testing of batteries - battery testing

Name of service (page headline, shown in promos – maximum of 70 characters incl. spaces): Fire testing of batteries - battery testing Lead (include SEO-words and the main benefits for your target groups. Stick to one paragraph, maximum 2-3 sentences):

The purpose of fire testing of batteries is to investigate the safety and performance of a battery under various conditions. This is a kind of safety-critical testing that often leads to severe fire and, in some cases, explosion.

 Purpose/Benefit:

Before a battery is approved for use and put into service, it needs to be tested for fire testing and thermal propagation. This type of battery testing is an important part of battery development and is included in several battery standards.

What is fire testing of batteries?

Fire testing of a battery involves exposing the battery to open flames from an external fire for a period of time. This simulates a situation where the battery catches fire, which can occur during use. Such a situation could be, for example, in a vehicle crash or when there is a fire in a stationary energy store. An important part of fire tests is to see how the cells in a battery are protected by the enclosing casing.

 Method (what/which methods are used to perform the service):

We perform fire tests on batteries in our safety critical testing lab. The lab has a large capacity and can house testing objects up to the size of a full-scale vehicle. The lab has extra thick walls, thick reinforcement and steel doors, allowing us to safely handle testing up to 8 MW. As the test environment is indoors, the environment is controlled and constant, which allows for repeatable tests and reliable results.

We offer sustainable fire testing

Fire testing causes toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen cyanide, benzene and toluene. In addition to safely handling these toxic and flammable gases, we make sure to minimize the environmental impact of our testing. Flue and gas are taken care of in our unique flue gas cleaning facility. We collect the extinguishing water from the test, and separate hazardous particles and send them to a landfill. All to test in the most possible sustainable way. 

 Delivery (what does the client get after performed service – e.g. a report, certificate etc.):

You will receive a digitally signed technical report with test results. The report can be delivered in either Swedish or English.

For your and the personnels' safety, the labs have extra-thick walls, steel doors and strong reinforcments bars. The roof has safety hatches that open in the event of an explosion.

Sustainable battery testing

When you hire us for battery testing, you perform sustainable battery testing. This is possible due to our state-of-the-art cleaning facilities, where both flue gases and extinguishing water are captured and purified before leaving the plant. In other words - battery testing at RISE is sustainable and cares for the environment.

Flexible battery testing

Our modern laboratories are designed to allow you, as a customer, to be on-site during the battery testing. Adjacent to our test areas are comfortable and secure control rooms, conference rooms, and workspaces. Being on-site enables a dialogue with our knowledgeable technicians, project managers, and researchers. This means great opportunities for adjustment and learning throughout the test.

UNECE R100

Name of service (page headline, shown in promos – maximum of 70 characters incl. spaces): UNECE R100 – Battery testing Lead (include SEO-words and the main benefits for your target groups. Stick to one paragraph, maximum 2-3 sentences):

UNECE R100 is an international standard for rechargeable battery systems for electric vehicles. The standard specifies the requirements for batteries in electric vehicles.

 Purpose/Benefit:

UNECE R100 is a standard that specifies what requirements must be met for rechargeable battery systems in motor vehicles. The standard has existed since 1996 and was revised in 2011 in line with developments in the battery field.

What is the purpose of UNECE R100?

The UNECE R100 standard specifies all the tests that need to be carried out on lithium batteries that are installed in four-wheel electric vehicles. The standard has been developed to harmonize requirements for motor vehicles all over the world. The introduction of UNECE R100 simplifies global trade, while at the same time increasing road safety and protecting the environment.

 Method (what/which methods are used to perform the service):

Below is a brief introduction to what is included in UNECE R100. The general requirements for each element are: no leakage, cracks, fire, or explosion in the battery. The insulation resistance should be maintained.

  • Vibration test of batteries

The UNECE R100 vibration test examines the safety of batteries under vibrations similar to those of normal driving.

  • Temperature cycling (temperature shock)

Temperature cycling investigates the resistance of the battery to sudden changes in temperature.

  • Mechanical shock test

In the UNECE R100 mechanical shock test, the battery is exposed to strong decelerations and accelerations with a sled test machine. The grade of impact is determined by vehicle class.

  • Mechanical integrity

The mechanical integrity test evaluates how safe the battery is when subjected to a crash.

  • Fire safety test

The fire safety test according to UNECE R100 examines how resistant the battery is to an external fire, such as a fuel fire. How resistant the battery is to short circuits is also examined.

  • Overcharge test

The overcharge test according to UNECE R100 examines the performance of the batterys overcharge protection.

  • Over-discharge protection

The over-discharge test evaluates the performance of the battery's over-discharge protection.

  • Overtemperature protection test

The overtemperature protection test examines the batterys resistance against internal overheating.

  • Overcurrent protection

The overcurrent protection test examines the battery's protection performance against internal overheating.

 Delivery (what does the client get after performed service – e.g. a report, certificate etc.):

You choose in what way you prefer to follow the tests. You can participate on-site, or you can follow the tests digitally from your regular workplace. Either way, you will be able to give input and interact with the testers along the way.

The test data is delivered in data files. Or if you prefer to receive them in a written test report.
