BIS Tutorial Course 2/3: Battery Intelligence in Research and Development (R&D)
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
The development of new, improved battery systems is slowed by the long test times required to validate battery cycle life — three to six months for consumer electronics and multiple years for long-life applications such as transportation and energy storage.
In this webinar, we’ll review how Battery Intelligence Systems (BIS) can enable accelerated development cycles and time to market. BIS can not only speed development cycles with automated background analytics; it can also unlock new insights with enhanced analytical techniques, helping you make better decisions faster.
This webinar will focus on specific end-uses including fast-charge algorithm development, BMS algorithms and new materials development, and how BIS can accelerate optimization and new product introduction.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The state of the battery development ecosystem
• The design of experiments (DoE) to optimize performance
• Dramatic changes in workflow with Battery Intelligence System (BIS) Software
• Enhanced analytics examples including differential capacity analysis (dQ/dV vs V) and on-line correlative analysis
• BIS enabled faster development cycles and time to market

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

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

Advanced Techniques For Addressing Issues in Battery Safety and Performance Using Adiabatic Calorimetry
FREE Webinar – THT is a proud sponsor of this event.
Adiabatic calorimetry is a widely utilized technique within the field of battery safety research. The method has been adapted from the chemical industry to address a significant range of safety and performance tests on battery components, cells and even modules.
Although a number of different battery tests may be employed using the ARC, interpretation of results is not always straightforward. Some of the principles which apply to ARC chemical testing do not translate directly to battery testing due to the variable nature of samples.
This presentation describes both the advantages and limitations of ARC testing on batteries and how the ARC test can be adapted to address different questions in battery research as well as quality control.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The principles of adiabatic calorimetry (ARC)
• How calorimetry can be used in battery testing
• What we learn from battery testing by calorimetry
• Pressure measurement and gas collection during thermal runaway
• Advanced testing techniques in adiabatic battery calorimetry
