How to apply for funding
Check eligibility for funding: Prior to starting an
application you can check if the project may be
eligible for funding by using the Funding Tool on
the APC website. If the project is eligible one of the
team will be in touch to discuss what to do next.
Create your application: Following the eligibility
check, you will be invited to complete an
application for either a feasibility study or an
expression of interest.
Assessment: All in-scope applications will be
independently assessed by the Department for
Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS)
and/or Innovate UK and successful applicants will
be notified directly by the ATF team.

Brill Power develops intelligent battery
management and control technology to
increase the lifetime, reliability, safety and
sustainability of lithium-ion battery packs
for stationary energy storage and electric
vehicles. Our product is a game-changing
combination of hardware and software
optimising the use of lithium-ion cells within
a battery pack.
Battery cells do not degrade uniformly over
time meaning battery packs underperform,
behaving only as well as their weakest link.
Therefore, packs must be oversized by up to
20% to meet lifetime requirements and when
one series-connected module dies, the entire
pack is sent to waste. By managing the cells
within packs more intelligently, Brill Power can
extend battery lifetime by up to 60% or deliver
up to 15% more energy when a conventional
battery system would be discarded.
Brill Power is a 2016 spin-out company from
the University of Oxford, and we work with
organisations across the battery industry.
