Description

As the agency reported it.

Activities
1. USC, fraunhofer, and siemens will collaborate to design and install a pilot manufacturing line at the USC columbia campus which will enable testing and commercialization of battery energy storage systems (BESS) technologies. 2. Design and create a digital analog of the physical pilot manufacturing line to aid with configuration and performance optimization over time. 3. Provide smaller scale manufacturers (SSMS) access to manufacturing infrastructure to integrate into production processes and test performance of BESS innovations. 4. Develop and deliver a MS-level curriculum that intimately integrates battery design and manufacturing. 5. Develop and deliver a two-year degree in battery technician training.
Expected outcomes
Cibi?S programming will support economic and national security by accelerating the supply of domestically produced grid-scale battery technologies and the workforce necessary to deploy them. With the combined support of key players in south carolina?S battery ecosystem, cibi will also firmly position the state as a global hub of grid-scale battery technologies within the next ten years.
