The US 2020 Market for Electrified Vehicles: Forward, Backward, or Sideways?
FREE Webinar – PlugVolt is a proud sponsor of this event.
Sales of battery electrics and hybrids were up last year, while plug in hybrids dropped even as the number of entries increased. New products are coming in 2020 and beyond; will sales rise quickly enough to keep the market moving forward? Product, price, incentives, features, branding, and marketing all matter and will be discussed.
For the second year in a row, we expect Tesla’s US sales to decline, although each category (e.g., hybrids, plug ins, battery electrics) will increase with the strongest increase in…regular and mild hybrids.
Major changes in costs and technology, as well as the impact of suppliers in these areas, will be discussed, as well as expectations for the near-term.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Review of 2019 Sales with a 2020 Forecast
• How Regulation in the US and Beyond Is Moving the Market
• Regulation Matters, But Company Strategies Often Matter More
• Is There a Gap Between Strategy and Reality?
• The Role of Suppliers and 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

Determination of Battery Safety and Performance Parameters Using Adiabatic and Isothermal Calorimetry
FREE Webinar – Thermal Hazard Technology is a proud sponsor of this event.
This presentation describes two main types of calorimetry which can be used to carry out safety and performance testing on batteries. Isothermal calorimeters allow for direct heat measurement on cells during use, while adiabatic calorimeters can measure heat released from batteries during thermal runaway.
Calorimetry can serve as a quantitative scientific method for evaluation of battery safety but it requires appropriate instrumentation. The principles of operation of both types of calorimeters are described along with specific applications within the field of battery testing.
A combination of both technics allows for detailed thermal characterization of lithium-ion and other rechargeable cells, and differences due to chemistry, cell design, cell age, state of charge and cell size can be evaluated.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The principles of adiabatic and isothermal calorimetry
• How calorimetry can be used in battery testing
• Parameters established by adiabatic safety testing
• Parameters established by isothermal performance testing
• Pressure measurement and gas collection

BMS Tutorial Course 3/3: Gain More Visibility Into Your Energy Storage System
Long-term ownership and management of an energy storage system requires high visibility into the batteries to enable problem identification and resolution, compare actual vs. predicted degradation curves, and plan for capacity augmentation. Real-time diagnostics and historical battery health data can be utilized to improve system reliability and reduce the total cost of ESS ownership. Join Nuvation Energy CEO Michael Worry for an examination of how battery data analytics can be retrieved from the BMS and utilized to optimize system maintenance and contribute to the long-term viability of the energy storage system.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Business impacts of low visibility into internal battery operation
• Problems frequently encountered by operators in the field
• “Cell to cloud” remote system diagnosis
• Battery warranty tracking
