Our team members are students from Technical University Kaiserslautern as well as Univerity of Applied Sciences Kaiserslautern. To be able to compete in Formula Student Electric and Formula Student Driverless competitions, our car needs an energy storage based on battery cells (fuel cells are not allowed).
Automotive batteries are a highly interdisciplinary topic and we need to take all aspects from electrical to mechanical to thermal design into account.
Simulations, selection of the battery cells, designing the housing, the battery management system and other electrical components, testing, manufacturing, commissioning and validation are all part of our tasks throughout the season.
