  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

  Energy Storage RTE Tutorial Course 3/3: Total Battery System RTE – Ranking and Comparison of Different Battery Chemistries

  RTE impacts of HVAC/Ventilation and Inverters will be described. Batteries generate heat, and this must be dissipated by system cooling and/or taken out of the system. Heat generated can be calculated by looking at IR heating and that generated (net) by exothermic reactions. Examples will include LFP, Li-NMC, Lead Acid and Nickel batteries, both when they are fresh, as well as at their end of useful life. The overall ancillary equipment energy usage will be listed for these systems, and a % RTE loss will be calculated for both nominal rate and high rate applications. Commentary will be provided for other systems. RTE will be summarized and ranked for most energy storage battery chemistries including ZA, NaS, LiS, Saltwater, Liquid Metal, Zinc Bromine and Fuel Cells.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • RTE impacts of Inverters and HVAC
  • RTE impacts for ancillary equipment for different systems
  • RTE numbers for most battery systems being considered for energy storage

  Maximizing Battery Performance and Reliability for Electric Vehicles and Energy Storage

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

  As automakers and utilities transition away from non-renewable energy sources, batteries have become essential for efficient energy storage and delivery. Companies are working intensely to deliver higher capacity and more robust batteries to power their products, but ad hoc development processes cannot keep pace with the volume of battery data being generated. In addition, understaffed battery  development teams are unable to leverage their data to accelerate development or improve production and manufacturing.

  In this webinar, we will outline the challenges that the battery industry is facing and how big data analytics can virtually eliminate manual data management and provide powerful capabilities that deliver rapid insights into a battery’s design that dramatically accelerate the development process and results in products with greater performance and reliability.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Recognizing the challenges and bottlenecks in battery development today
  • Automating the battery data collection, data cleaning, and data management process
  • Identifying design issues earlier with predictive analytics
  • Leveraging metadata to understand the impact of materials, processes and test conditions

  Understand and Prevent Battery Fires and Explosions – and Avoid Costly Failures Like the Samsung Note 7

  Modern batteries (eg Li-Ion) contain hazardous chemicals & they heat up during use: this combination always has the potential to cause fires & explosions. This presentation will focus on improving the understanding of how these incidents occur, what can be done to avoid them & how the risk can be minimized during early stage design.

  The Samsung Note 7 phone & Boeing Dreamliner airplane fires are very costly examples of how even large corporations fail to understand the potential fire risk of batteries.

  The solution lies in knowledge of heat generation rate during normal use & information about safe boundaries such as temperature, discharge rate & overcharge, in realistic situations that represent actual use conditions. Data from commercial batteries of different types will be used to illustrate these points.

  A relatively new technique will also be discussed with data, which allows total heat output during discharge to be measured on-line and this can be used both for design and battery modelling. Examples of the data will be provided.

  This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

  • Why battery fires & explosions occur
  • How to design safer batteries though understanding of heat generation
  • Video evidence of batteries under explosive conditions
  • How better thermal management systems can be designed – based on heat measurement from isothermal calorimetry
  • Laboratory instruments suitable for testing and data generation
