Abstract

This paper outlines the key activities and outcomes of the MINERVA project. This project involves the cooperation of various academic, research, and industrial partners to develop and test hybrid storage architectures for use in high-performance racing vehicles. With this aim, simulation and experimental characterisation tests have been carried out by means of an advanced and interconnected laboratory network. In this case, a bottom-up approach is proposed, starting from a single battery cell up to the whole vehicle level.
