The EU is providing up to 19.7 million euros for the "NOvel energy storage technologies usable at military deployments in forward operating bases" (NOMAD) project via the European Defense Fund. NOMAD aims to develop new systems for storing energy. To this end, a framework for cooperation between European industry, R&D organizations and relevant stakeholders shall be created to promote and support the development and operational validation of European energy storage and related technologies, from feasibility studies to validation in relevant environments.
Coordinated by the Spanish company Equipos Móviles De Campaña Arpa, 19 institutes and companies from ten countries (Bulgaria, Germany, Estonia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Spain and Hungary) are involved in the project, including EAS Batteries GmbH from Germany , an institute of the Fraunhofer Society for the promotion of applied research and Vincorion, the company spun off from Jenoptik. The project is scheduled to start in 2024 and be completed four years later.
Vincorion, one of the three participants from Germany, will receive funding of 1.7 million euros and will carry out essential parts of the integration and tests in the company, as the company writes. This enables the company to make further advances in the latest storage technologies, according to Stefan Stenzel, Managing Director of Vincorion. In addition, this call for tenders creates the opportunity to participate in other EU funding programs that are used to advance the development of modern, hybrid and tactical energy supply systems.
Vincorion's current production program includes a range of energy supply systems for the defense sector, which are designed for large power requirements and can cover them efficiently, with minimal fuel requirements and flexibly, writes the Vincorion report. The company also offers numerous power management systems and power converters for military applications.
