  Recycling of Lithium Ion Batteries From Electric Vehicles

  The recycling of lithium-ion batteries – from EVs and others – will be discussed in this webinar.

  Recently, the pilot plant of project LithoRec II could prove that a newly developed combination of process steps enables the recovery of a mass fraction of 75 % and more on a material recycling basis from lithium-ion batteries. This is supposed to be much better than state of the art. Combining different process steps like discharging, dismantling, shredding, sifting and air-jet separation the project partners were able to achieve their goal: proving that lithium-ion batteries can be recycled better. One interesting process dealing with the electrolyte came in a black box (which was actually white) and this was because of another ongoing patenting process of Lion Engineering. A modified and simplified process works to directly recycle scraps from the production of lithium-ion batteries – in order to protect both: the environment and the stakeholder’s money.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Recycling of Lithium Ion Batteries
  • Recycling Yields and how to regain 75% and more – on a material recycling basis
  • Direct Recycling of LIB-Production Scraps

  Christian Hanisch – CEO at Lion Engineering

  Christian studied Process Engineering at TU Braunschweig (Germany) and has worked in the research project LithoRec and designed LithoRec II at the Institute for Particle Technology / TU Braunschweig on the topic of Recycling of Lithium Ion Batteries. He developed and patented new recycling processes and led the project to the realization of a pilot plant. Recognizing the highest interest of industrial partners in this topic he co-founded the spin-off Lion Engineering GmbH with fellow PhD students and Professor Arno Kwade in 2011. Beginning in 2016, Christian started to focus full-time on being CEO of Lion Engineering.

  A Raft of EVs and Hybrids are Coming – Will the Buyers Follow?

  Current sales trends for hybrid and electric vehicles will be detailed as will the effect of public policy on these vehicles. California is moving forward even as the US EPA and NHTSA pull back, with states aligning with California that represent 40% of total US sales.

  There is a plethora of new products coming from a variety of automakers, with certain automakers taking their own unique approaches, which will of course differentially affect suppliers and consumers. While China may be “ground zero” for product introductions and sales, the US will see a significant number of new products, particularly if we include vehicles that are “electrified” (as opposed to fully electric vehicles).

  Changes in technology affecting the cost and therefore the price to consumers will be discussed.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Current Sales Trends Regarding EVs and Hybrids
  • Current Status of the EPA/NHTSA Midterm Review
  • Current Status of CA Regulatory Intentions Regarding Fuel Economy and Zero Emission Vehicles
  • Automaker EV Plans Through 2025
  • Other Factors Affecting EV and Hybrid Sales in this Period

  Development and Testing of Electric Drives and Battery Management Systems

  Many types of hybrid and electric drive (E-Drive) control systems are being developed for platforms in several industries. These systems also use Battery Management Systems (BMS) to handle their demanding power needs. However, the development of these technologies brings increased system complexity, evident in the many platform variants and control algorithms of various electronic control units (ECUs).

  dSPACE provides comprehensive solutions for E-Drive or BMS development, from providing proper hardware I/O interfaces for prototyping/testing these applications to real-time models for simulation of these controlled systems. There is also the need for consideration of power and safety requirements and precision of the simulation or control capability.

  This presentation will cover RCP and HIL systems and models for the development and validation of E-Drive and BMS control systems. Specific implementation techniques for model processing and interfaces in real-time along with critical power interface and electrical hardware functionality will be shown.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Real-time Simulation Models for Electric Motors and Battery Systems
  • Rapid Prototyping hardware for E-Drive and BMS Development
  • Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Simulators for testing E-Drive/BMS Systems

  BIS Tutorial Course 1/3: Introducing Battery Intelligence Systems (BIS)

  FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.

  While the industry is familiar with the battery and its BMS (battery management system), very few are aware of the critical need for a missing third layer, the Battery Intelligence System (BIS) needed to enable the leap in battery yield, energy density, and lifetime the industry is calling for.

  Battery Intelligence Systems are needed to leverage the latent value sitting in data that companies are collecting today, including but not limited to: data generated in battery factories in Asia, product OEMs around the globe, and ‘data lakes’ collecting data from systems in the field.

  Your organization already has the building blocks to enable BIS. In this webinar we’ll show you the benefits of unlocking the value of your battery data.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • The need for Battery Intelligence
  • State of the industry: insufficient resources to meet aggressive electrification goals
  • State of data today: “Treating it like a mushroom and watching it grow”
  • Automation of standard analyses
  • Traceability with Battery Digital Twins
