About
Maxxen Energy is a Türkiye-based energy technology company developing battery energy storage systems, supported by a multidisciplinary R&D Centre and a BESS manufacturing facility with an annual production capacity of 5 GWh. The company combines system engineering, product development, prototyping, testing and industrial-scale manufacturing capabilities.
Maxxen is seeking to join existing or emerging European R&D and innovation consortia as an industrial and technology partner. Our core strength is taking innovative battery technologies beyond the cell level and integrating them into pack, rack and complete BESS architectures, followed by prototyping, validation, industrialisation and scale-up.
Core R&D and Technology Capabilities
· BESS System Engineering: Pack, rack and container-level architecture; mechanical and electrical design; high-voltage architecture; PCS integration; DFM/DFA; system integration and prototyping.
· Battery Management Systems (BMS): BMS hardware, embedded software/firmware, SOC/SOH/SOP estimation, balancing, diagnostics, RUL, multi-chemistry BMS and HIL validation. Maxxen is open both to developing BMS solutions from scratch and adapting/improving third-party BMS platforms.
· AI & Battery Digitalisation: AI/ML-enabled BMS algorithms, predictive maintenance, anomaly and fault detection, battery degradation and RUL prediction, battery digital twins, cloud-connected BMS and intelligent condition monitoring.
· Battery Thermal Management: Liquid-cooling architectures, thermal modelling, intelligent cooling control and AI-based thermal-management approaches.
· Next-generation Battery Integration: Integration of LFP, sodium-ion, high-capacity cells, long-duration storage concepts and second-life batteries at pack, rack and BESS levels, without focusing on cell-chemistry development.
· Testing & Validation: Cell and pack performance testing, BMS HIL, environmental and thermal testing, system integration tests, and rack/container-level validation up to 2.5 MW.
Contribution to European R&D Projects
Maxxen can contribute particularly to projects in the TRL 4–8 range, where research outputs need to be transformed into integrated, validated and industrially scalable BESS solutions.
Technology Integration → Prototype → Testing & Validation → Industrialisation → Pilot Manufacturing → Demonstration → Scale-up
Project Areas of Interest
BESS & Utility-Scale Storage | Advanced and AI-enabled BMS | Battery Digitalisation & Digital Twin | Battery Diagnostics & Prognostics | Liquid Cooling & Intelligent Thermal Management | Sodium-ion Integration | High-Capacity Battery Systems | Long-Duration Energy Storage | Second-Life Battery Integration | Renewable & Grid-Scale Storage | Industrial/C&I Storage | EV Charging + BESS | Marine BESS
Preferred Consortium Roles
System Integrator | Technology Developer | Industrialisation Partner | Prototype & Manufacturing Partner | Testing & Validation Partner | Demonstration Partner
Depending on the project structure, Maxxen can also lead Work Packages or Tasks related to BESS System Architecture, BMS Development, Battery System Integration, Prototype Development, Industrialisation, Manufacturing & Scale-up, and Testing & Validation.
Cooperation Sought
Maxxen is primarily looking to join existing European R&D consortia led by universities, research and technology organisations, battery and BMS developers, AI/digital technology companies, thermal-management developers, utilities, renewable-energy companies and industrial partners.
We are particularly interested in projects that need a strong industrial partner to integrate an emerging battery, BMS, AI or thermal-management technology into a real BESS platform, validate it, and move it towards higher TRLs and industrial deployment.
