Sichuan CAMY New Energy announced the launch of their next generation battery pack, KUINETIC, for electric Ground Support Equipment (GSE) applications.
Designed for optimal performance, safety and sustainability, CAMY will showcase its contactless battery management system with cell-level intelligence at inter airport Southeast Asia, 25 – 27 March, in Singapore where the global airport industry will come together to drive green initiatives to build the foundation for sustainable and future-proof airports.
For GSE applications, reliability, safety and a long lifetime are essential for operational productivity and sustainability. CAMY's new battery pack KUINETIC has a lifespan of up to 10 years, and is designed to provide maximum efficiency, safety and operational uptime. CAMY’s new lithium battery system employs a unique chip-on-cell technology and contactless architecture based on near field wireless communication to provide the robustness, reliability and security required for equipment for airport terminals and ramp operations.
Unlike traditional wired battery packs, CAMY’s new wireless battery system does not require complex wiring harnesses and multitude of connectors, minimising safety risks caused by physical issues such as wiring wear, short circuits, and loose connectors. Its unique contactless architecture is free from physical design constraints to provide maximum flexibility, scalability and serviceability, enabling battery packs that are more compact, lighter in weight,and scalable in single cell increments. Layout of battery modules can be adjusted to make it easy to expand system functions. This allows for flexible configuration of battery systems according to actual needs and adaptable to different application scenarios.
CAMY’s new battery design employs the Dukosi Cell Monitoring System (DKCMS) with C-SynQ, which offers best-in-class, highly accurate 24/7 cell monitoring. creating safer and smarter cells. A Cell Monitor mounted directly onto each cell provides accurate monitoring of key operating parameters such as voltage and temperature along with necessary cell balancing functionality and diagnostics.
The System Hub, meanwhile, manages the bidirectional data transfer between all of the Cell Monitors and CAMY’s Battery Management System (BMS) using Dukosi’s proprietary C-SynQ via a single bus antenna. C-SynQ provides highly secure and extremely robust and reliable communication, with predictable latency and synchronises all Cell Monitor measurements for optimal pack performance. The DKCMS on-cell monitoring and non-volatile embedded memory also provide lifetime traceability, enabling CAMY and its customers to be compliance-ready for regulations around digital product passports like the EU Battery Passport.
Since Dukosi Cell Monitors are typically placed closer to the cell terminals with consistent sense lead lengths, they record highly accurate voltage data that is robust to EMI disturbances. This improves the quality and accuracy of cell data gathered, which helps improve SOC and SOH estimations, thereby improving the quality, reliability and trustworthiness of SOC and SOH information. With data security a priority in airport terminals and ramp operations, CAMY’s contactless battery design adopts encryption communication protocols and other technologies to ensure the security of data transmission, preventing data from being eavesdropped or tampered
