Technical Consulting for Feasibility Study – Prismatic and Pouch Production Plant (Giga Scale) – Turkey
Project Overview
Bonsai Technology was engaged by a client seeking to develop a Giga-scale production plant for prismatic and pouch cells. Our role involved conducting a comprehensive technical and financial feasibility study to assess the viability of establishing a high-capacity manufacturing facility for these cell types.
Client Challenges
- Lack of Expertise: The client had limited experience in large-scale battery cell production and sought expert advice to validate the project’s feasibility.
- Technology Selection: Uncertainty in selecting the best technology between prismatic and pouch cell manufacturing processes.
- Operational Efficiency: Required insights into optimizing operations, minimizing costs, and maximizing production output for a Giga-scale facility.
- Financial Risk Assessment: Needed a thorough financial analysis to ensure the investment was sound and could meet projected market demands.
Solution Provided
- Feasibility Study: Conducted an in-depth technical and financial feasibility study, assessing the pros and cons of establishing a Giga-scale production plant for both prismatic and pouch cells.
- Technology Assessment: Provided a detailed comparison of prismatic and pouch cell manufacturing technologies, including capital expenditures (CAPEX), operational expenditures (OPEX), and production efficiency.
- Production Line Design: Suggested scalable production line designs for both prismatic and pouch cells, focusing on optimizing space, energy efficiency, and automation.
- Financial Modelling: Developed detailed financial models to forecast CAPEX, OPEX, and ROI for the plant, helping the client make informed investment decisions.
- Supplier and Technology Partnerships: Identified potential technology suppliers and partners to streamline the procurement and set-up processes.
Implementation Process
- Comprehensive Analysis: Conducted an initial market study to understand demand and pricing trends for prismatic and pouch cells.
- On-site Assessments: Worked closely with the client’s team to evaluate potential plant locations, assessing factors like infrastructure, logistics, and utility availability.
- Financial Strategy Development: Provided a detailed financial strategy, outlining costs, funding sources, and potential revenue streams.
- Risk Mitigation: Identified key risks, including market fluctuations and supply chain bottlenecks, and developed strategies to mitigate them.
- Final Report: Delivered a comprehensive feasibility report, including technical, operational, and financial recommendations, giving the client a clear roadmap for the next steps.
Project Outcome
Feasibility study and consulting services, the client gained a clear understanding of the technical and financial implications of setting up a Giga-scale production plant for prismatic and pouch cells. Our analysis enabled them to make informed decisions on technology selection, operational strategies, and investment risks. The study provided the foundation for the successful planning and eventual execution of the project, positioning the client to become a significant player in the growing global battery market.
