  Preventing Thermal Runaway in Energy Storage Systems (ESS)

  From air transportation to electric vehicles and most recently “Hover Boards”, our industry is painfully aware of the over-discharge malfunctions associated with high-energy lithium-ion batteries, yet according to recent studies, nearly 70% of all Energy Storage Systems currently deployed are lithium-ion. Avoiding the pitfalls of utilizing greater energy density in larger installations is what will be discussed. Michelle will walk through the recent innovations from materials and process tracking in battery manufacturing to comprehensive control of cells in a fully deployed system. Incorporating lessons learned from recent failure investigations by the NTSB and FAA as well as new DoE mandates, Michelle will discuss how to achieve and in some areas surpass the new emerging safety certifications for a multi-megawatt energy storage system.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Making batteries safe or making safe batteries? (control & mitigation)
  • Cell manufacture tracking, certification and response
  – NTSB & DoE analysis and current situation
  • Incorporating advanced battery management systems (BMS)
  – Active cell dynamic balancing
  – Cell replacement (hot-swapping)
  – System reconfiguration
  – Energy density scalability

  Adding Intelligent Battery Management to Lead-Acid Energy Storage Systems

  Lead batteries are resilient and have a low likelihood of catastrophic failure. However, their lifespan can be significantly reduced when operated outside of manufacturer specifications. The extension of lead battery life through active battery management is becoming a compelling value proposition for vendors of lead-based energy storage systems.

  The evolving regulatory environment governing energy storage safety is also impacting how both lead and lithium chemistries are to be managed moving forward. Join Nuvation CEO Michael Worry to explore the reasons why active battery management is becoming adopted in large-scale lead battery applications, and how the changing regulatory environment is impacting lead-based energy storage.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Controlling off-gassing in vented and VRLA lead batteries
  • Emerging functional safety regulations and UL 1973
  • Using a BMS to reduce the levelized cost of energy
  • Automating stack connection sequencing in a multi-stack ESS
  • Lead-based energy storage system deployments

  Update on Zinc Hybrid Cathode Battery Technology: Lessons Learned from Demo Projects with Major Utilities in US & Europe

  With no economical means to store energy, the utility distribution network has typically been overbuilt and continually expanded to serve peak demand, though only a fraction of that infrastructure is used on an average day.

  Working closely with utility partners like AEP and Con Edison, Eos Energy Storage has evaluated the economics of battery storage on the distribution system, with compelling results. Using first-hand knowledge of system costs and specifications, it was found that a utility-owned battery system can break even with a conventional T&D upgrade of ~$5M, or less when monetizing available market revenues.

  In this webinar, Eos will share an update on commercialization of its zinc hybrid cathode battery technology and share lessons learned from deployments with major utilities in the US and Europe, from initial business case analysis to commissioning a turnkey product.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Discuss how energy storage can be leveraged as a utility distribution asset and market resource
  • Share Eos’s experience in deploying energy storage systems at utility sites in the US and Europe
  • Update on performance and path to commercialization for novel zinc hybrid cathode battery technology

  Lithium Ion Capacitors – Combining Energy with Power

  FREE Webinar – JSR Micro, Inc. is a proud sponsor of this event.

  Lithium Ion Capacitors (LIC) are hybrids of electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) and lithium ion batteries (LIB). Combining the reversible non-Faradaic cathode from an EDLC and the reversible Faradaic anode from an LIB results in an ultra or super capacitor with significantly increased energy density, improved float performance and low self-discharge rates. Avoiding the lithium metal oxide cathodes from LIB’s improves the inherent safety and eliminates Cobalt content, however still combines aspects of energy & power of both cell types. The Faradaic intercalation/deintercalation reactions at the anode are capable of generating a significant amount of charge, while the non-Faradaic electrostatic storage of the electrical energy formed at the interface of the electrode and the electrolyte, known as an electric double layer, results in fast charge and discharge capabilities for hundreds of thousands, if not millions of cycles.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • What is an LIC? Technology Introduction
  • Key Benefits
  • Safety
  • EDLC vs LIC
  • Applications
