    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 Potential and Opportunities in India

    India has aggressive targets for shifting to renewable energy, which at present is un-scheduled, and stresses the energy systems. One of the important means to meet these challenges is use of energy storage technologies. With launch of Smart Grids and Electric Vehicles missions, and new programs for on-site solar energy and rural micro-grids, energy storage has become a crucial component of energy strategy for India. This presentation will mainly focus on opportunities and potential of energy storage in India.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Drivers for Energy Storage in India
    • Energy Storage Market Potential in India
    – Grid Integration of RE
    – 100 planned smart cities
    – Microgrids
    – Electric Vehicles
    – Net metering policies
    – Other opportunities
    • Smart Grid Vision and Roadmap for India
    • Energy Storage Initiatives in India

    Electric Vehicle and Hybrid Sales and Market Prospects Through 2020 – It’s Not What “They” Say

    Some industry observers have proclaimed that the electric vehicle market in the U.S. is failing. While overall sales have declined somewhat in recent months, this view is simplistic and short-sighted. A number of key products are at the end of their life cycle, with new versions on the way, and a variety of all-new products are coming. Strength in trucks and crossovers currently works against sales of these vehicles, but that will also change going forward.

    The increase in product offerings is led by a number of factors including consumer interest, regulatory requirements and government incentives in the U.S. and elsewhere, technology and cost improvements, and an interest by various automakers in making a corporate statement.

    The role of dealers has been a problem that has received little attention. There are methods to address this issue, but they are often not utilized.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Current Issues Affecting Sales
    • Product Actions and Sales Forecast by Vehicle Type – Micro Hybrids, Mild Hybrids, Regular Hybrids, Plug In Hybrids, Battery Electrics, and Fuel Cells
    • Key Trends by Vehicle Type – Now & Going Forward
    • Importance of Regulatory Policy Including California Zero Emission Vehicle Rules and EPA/NHTSA Midterm Review
    • Various Automakers Have Very Different Strategies to Electrification

    Battery Ageing – How Modeling is Used to Predict Battery Life

    Battery modeling and simulation makes it possible to analyze multiple operating conditions and design parameters for batteries and other electrochemical systems and processes. By developing mathematical models you can begin to understand the interaction of electrochemical and chemical processes in the battery and how these processes affect the performance and life of the battery.

    In this presentation, we will take a look at the benefits of modeling and simulation in the design, selection, and operation of a lithium-ion battery. We will especially take a look at how modeling can be used together with testing. These results provide manufacturers and application experts with the data to not only predict battery life but to analyze the implications of design parameters and operating conditions to better understand the limitation of the battery.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Benefits of modeling and simulations in the design, selection, and operation of a lithium-ion battery
    • Implications of design parameters and operating conditions with respect to experimental observations of battery performance, aging, and battery safety
    • How battery modeling can be used together with testing
