BIS Tutorial Course 3/3: Battery Intelligence in New Product Introduction (NPI) for Transportation and Consumer Electronics
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
OEMs are faced with an ever growing list of challenges when designing batteries into their systems, from long qualification time, to increasingly complex systems and the lack of qualified battery engineers.
In this webinar, we’ll review the battery and systems qualification process for transportation and consumer electronics, including specific reference performance tests such as hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC), that are used for BMS development.
We’ll then shift into how Battery Intelligence Systems (BIS) can both accelerate time to market for New Product Introduction (NPI), and can surface deeper insights about variability in batteries and packs to increase range, lower costs, and improve reliability.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The state of OEM new product introduction (NPI)
• Battery and system qualification
• BMS development and hybrid pulse power characterization (HPPC)
• Ensuring time to market for NPI
• Extending range and lifetime with component variability assessment

Methods and Instrumentation for Testing Li-ion Batteries, Materials to Modules
We will walk through different phases of research from material development, characterization of cells and stacks, and advanced diagnostics on modules for Electric Vehicles. Attendees will have the opportunity to listen to and speak with the innovators of the frequency response analyzer (Solatron Analytical) and the digital potentiostat (Princeton Applied Research).
Features of instrumentation will be translated into benefits for users. Data from many different solutions will be presented; highlighted by the recently concluded UK-based consortium to rapidly grade the State-of-Health of NISSAN Leaf modules.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Electrochemical methods used to characterize Li-ion batteries: materials, cells, stacks, and modules
• Benefits of accuracy and resolution on performance tests of Energy Devices
• Mapping of experiment techniques and test methods to instrument specifications
• How AMETEK’s portfolio meets these similar but uniquely defined needs at different points of the value chain
Presenter
Rob Sides – Director, Marketing & Product Management at AMETEK
Rob Sides presents here as part of AMETEK, a global enterprise supporting electrochemical research through its Princeton Applied Research and Solartron Analytical brands. He joined AMETEK after achieving his Ph.D. from University of Florida in 2005, where he authored several original research papers, presentations, invited reviews and book chapters on the fabrication and characterization of Li-ion battery electrodes using DC and EIS-based methods. At AMETEK Rob has held several roles across different functional groups of Applications, Sales/Marketing and Product Management. His background provides a depth and breadth of experience to present both fundamentals and solutions to the most challenging problems.

DER Tutorial Course 1/3: Energy Storage and DER Control Behind the Meter
The implementation of distributed energy resources behind the meter has become increasingly commonplace for commercial, industrial, and even residential energy consumers. While energy security is often a key driver, it is demand charge management that provides the return on the infrastructure investment. DER aggregation and demand charge management technologies however, have not yet fully caught up with the relative maturity of the resources they control. Join John Chinnick, Principal Software Architect at Nuvation Energy for an examination of distributed energy resource management behind the meter, and how to integrate and manage DER assets for demand charge management.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Types and tiers of distributed energy resource management
• Technical constraints and opportunities in asset management
• Integrating energy resources for centralized control
• A demand charge management implementation model
Presenter
John Chinnick – Principal Software Architect at Nuvation Energy
John Chinnick is a Principal Software Architect at Nuvation Energy. His current role includes project management and engineering design for distributed energy resource (DER) control systems. He brings 28 years of product design experience to the energy storage industry, with a diverse skillset that includes embedded computing and industrial controls. His current projects include the deployment of automotive second life battery packs into containerized energy storage for grid firming, transmission and distribution upgrade deferral, and demand charge management.

How Battery Intelligence Can “Recession-Proof” Your Battery Program
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
COVID-19 and the recession will separate winners from losers. Despite the current downturn, there are opportunities for automakers, consumer electronics OEMs, cell suppliers, and the broader battery ecosystem to adopt new tools and processes to survive the recession and come out on top. For the greater battery ecosystem, Voltaiq, the market leader in Battery Intelligence software, is helping companies adapt to the new normal for remote work, streamlined decision making, and organizational efficiency. This webinar will provide an overview of battery-specific challenges related to COVID-19, best practices highlighted by leading business publications, and real examples of how leading companies are using tools like Voltaiq to navigate the current storm, make gains on the competition, and ship product.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The impact of COVID-19 on battery development programs
• Recession as an opportunity to digitize your business while opportunity costs are lower
• How digital transformation can help companies thrive post-recession by increasing efficiency and resilience while streamlining decision-making
• Examples of how Battery Intelligence software is helping companies ship product during COVID-19
