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

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

Data-Driven Battery Product Development: Turn Battery Performance Into a Competitive Advantage
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq, Inc. is a proud sponsor of this event.
Battery performance is a primary source of user dissatisfaction across a broad range of applications, and is the key bottleneck slowing the adoption of electric vehicles, renewable energy, and longer lasting, more powerful mobile electronics. Moreover, advances in battery development are continually slowed by inefficiencies and missed opportunities in analyzing the vast amounts of raw data generated during testing and operation, and the lack of effective tools to process and analyze this data.
In this webinar, we’ll present approaches to eliminate these data bottlenecks and explain how to leverage your information to help you ship quality products faster using fewer resources while ensuring safety and reliability in the field, ultimately turning battery performance into a competitive advantage.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• What bottlenecks are hindering the development of new batteries and battery powered systems?
• What are your batteries trying to tell you? Expose additional value using techniques like differential capacity analysis
• Case studies on data-driven product development at each stage of the battery lifecycle: from R&D to operation in the field
