August 21, 2018: NASA awards STTR Phase I for Intelligent Power Source Reliability Monitoring and Failure Mitigation System being innovated in collaboration with ASU

Alphacore will develop a high/accuracy Built/In Self/Test (BIST) system for characterization of aging, degradation, available power and in/situ diagnosis of photovoltaic and multi/pack battery systems using low/complexity single/chip impedance spectroscopy (IS) approach. Alphacore will collaborate with Arizona State University (ASU) scientists to develop a low complexity single/chip photovoltaic cell self/test and instrumentation module to achieve in/situ health and reliability monitoring of solar panel and reporting cell status.
Alphacore Inc. will also develop techniques to extend these approaches to detecting and monitoring Li/Ion battery packs and other charge storage and distribution systems’ health status. The IS device will provide real/time monitoring capability of solar cell and panel C/V and capacity conditions.
