London-based engineering start-up founded in 2015, developing affordable AI-powered battery systems and renewable energy technology for low-income countries.
Alp Technologies is a renewable energy engineering start-up founded in 2015 and based in London. It develops affordable, AI-powered renewable energy technologies - chiefly battery systems - for low-income countries and developing regions, with operations and deployments extending to Nigeria and elsewhere. Its stated remit spans the full engineering cycle: mechanical and electronic engineering, software development, power electronics control systems, IoT solutions, prototyping, manufacturing and project management.
The company's flagship product, M-BRIC (Modular Battery for Renewable Energy and Intelligence in Communities), is described by the company as the world's smartest and most affordable AI-powered battery system. It is aimed at communities, farms, factories and businesses in developing regions. Alongside it, Alp Technologies has developed grid backup battery storage technology intended to replace diesel generator dependency in markets such as Nigeria with clean, reliable and cost-effective power. Research activity covers advanced battery systems, including battery systems built from recycled cells, as well as waste-to-energy generation.
Alp Technologies reports multiple innovation awards and several funded R&D projects across its core technical areas. The team is multidisciplinary, combining researchers, mechanical and electronic engineers, software developers, innovators and business professionals. Engineering work follows what the company calls the Bauhaus-E methodology: a holistic, root-cause approach to engineering problems. The company emphasises affordable manufacturing without compromising quality and works collaboratively across engineering and business disciplines.
