    Battery Design Optimization Using Cell Cooling Coefficient

    Lithium-ion cells and battery packs are not designed to maximize the performance of thermal management systems. As a result, every cell in use is performing sub optimally, and is degrading needlessly fast. The root cause of the problem is the lack of information surrounding the thermal performance of lithium-ion cells. Cell Cooling Coefficients (CCCs) have been developed to quantify the cell thermal performance. They can immediately tell the user exactly how a cell will behave in a battery pack, vital information for the design of any thermal management system. They can also be used to inform redesign, both at the cell level and at the battery pack level.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Battery heat generation: why, and why is it complex
    • Thermal management in battery packs
    • The problems with battery design: energy density above all else
    • Cell Cooling Coefficient as a universal metric
    • Using the Cell Cooling Coefficient to evaluate battery design and propose beneficial redesigns

    Alastair Hales – Research Associate, Imperial College London

    Alastair earned a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Bristol in 2016. Prior to joining Imperial College London in 2018, Alastair worked for SUEZ Advanced Solutions UK, designing equipment closely linked to his PhD topic, and as a Research Associate at Queen Mary University of London. Alastair’s existing work is focused around the thermal management and thermal effects of lithium-ion cells. Alastair led the work introducing the Cell Cooling Coefficient as a universal metric to quantify battery thermal performance. He is now building upon this research to develop capability for cell design optimization.

    Approaches to Recovering Critical Materials From Spent Lithium-Ion Batteries

    FREE Webinar – Li-Cycle is a proud sponsor of this event.

    As the world transitions towards sustainability and low carbon emissions, lithium-ion batteries are being used across a broad spectrum of products and industries. The automotive industry, in particular, estimates 559 million of electric vehicles will be on the road by 2040. Consequently, lithium-ion battery waste is forecasted to hit over 11 million tonnes by 2030.

    How can the world deal with this oncoming tsunami of lithium-ion batteries?

    The audience will have the answer after this webinar as this presentation will walk through both global and future approaches to dealing with end-of-life batteries and explore the importance of recovering critical materials from lithium-ion batteries to meet future demand.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Global end-of-life lithium-ion battery market opportunity
    • Recycling vs reuse
    • Incumbent technologies for ‘recycling’ lithium-ion batteries
    • New technologies and techniques for recycling lithium-ion batteries
    • Comparative benefits of recycling technologies

    Battery Analytics Tutorial Course 1/3: Battery Analytics and the Role of the BMS

    This one-hour course will explore how various energy storage industry experts define the term “battery analytics.” It will also examine how the battery management system (BMS) is used to control the battery and provide real-time performance reporting, the lowest level of battery analytics.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • The different types of battery analytics
    • How a BMS works and why it is the most basic component of any battery analytics platform
    • Real-time performance algorithms as the lowest level of analytics

    Battery Analytics Tutorial Course 2/3: Data Capture and Trend Reporting

    This one-hour webinar is Part 2 of a 3-part series. Battery management systems take large amounts of sensor data readings on a continual basis as part of their functionality. Battery analytics involves leveraging battery performance data for tasks such as identifying issues that can reduce battery life, flagging behavior that can negatively impact energy storage system performance, and predicting remaining cell and pack life.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Sensor data capture, aggregation and manipulation into performance reports
    • Real-life examples will be shared, where aggregated historical data was analyzed and anomalous behaviors were identified
    • Also shared will be the inspections and testing of the pack to identify the cause of the anomalous behavior, and the discovery and resolution of the problems that caused the anomalies
