    How Battery Intelligence Can “Recession-Proof” Your Battery Program

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

    COVID-19 and the recession will separate winners from losers. Despite the current downturn, there are opportunities for automakers, consumer electronics OEMs, cell suppliers, and the broader battery ecosystem to adopt new tools and processes to survive the recession and come out on top. For the greater battery ecosystem, Voltaiq, the market leader in Battery Intelligence software, is helping companies adapt to the new normal for remote work, streamlined decision making, and organizational efficiency. This webinar will provide an overview of battery-specific challenges related to COVID-19, best practices highlighted by leading business publications, and real examples of how leading companies are using tools like Voltaiq to navigate the current storm, make gains on the competition, and ship product.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • The impact of COVID-19 on battery development programs
    • Recession as an opportunity to digitize your business while opportunity costs are lower
    • How digital transformation can help companies thrive post-recession by increasing efficiency and resilience while streamlining decision-making
    • Examples of how Battery Intelligence software is helping companies ship product during COVID-19

    Simulation Of Battery Crash – Where Do We Stand?

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

    Safety is an important functional requirement in the development of large-format, energy-dense, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries used in electrified vehicles. Computer aided engineering (CAE) tools that predict the response of a Li-ion battery pack to various abusive conditions can provide valuable insight during the design phase and reduce the need for physical testing.

    However, the physics under such simulations is quite complex, and involves structural, thermal, electrical and electrochemical behaviors all coupled together and spanning length and time scales of different orders of magnitude.

    In this talk, ANSYS LS-DYNA’s capabilities in the area of battery simulation will be introduced, current numerical challenges discussed, as well as a potential way forward towards including battery models in full car crash simulations.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • The state of battery crash simulations
    • Numerical challenges
    • Capabilities of the commercial finite element code in ANSYS LS-DYNA
    • A path towards capturing the thermal/mechanical/electromagnetic behavior of batteries during a full vehicle crash

    The US 2020 Market for Electrified Vehicles: Forward, Backward, or Sideways?

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

    Sales of battery electrics and hybrids were up last year, while plug in hybrids dropped even as the number of entries increased. New products are coming in 2020 and beyond; will sales rise quickly enough to keep the market moving forward? Product, price, incentives, features, branding, and marketing all matter and will be discussed.

    For the second year in a row, we expect Tesla’s US sales to decline, although each category (e.g., hybrids, plug ins, battery electrics) will increase with the strongest increase in…regular and mild hybrids.

    Major changes in costs and technology, as well as the impact of suppliers in these areas, will be discussed, as well as expectations for the near-term.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Review of 2019 Sales with a 2020 Forecast
    • How Regulation in the US and Beyond Is Moving the Market
    • Regulation Matters, But Company Strategies Often Matter More
    • Is There a Gap Between Strategy and Reality?
    • The Role of Suppliers and Technology

    Battery Qualification 101

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

    Batteries are the most complex and failure prone components in modern devices. To mitigate risks, companies extensively qualify battery cells and packs, a time consuming and expensive process that can lead to delays in product launch if issues are surfaced. Effectively managing time, personnel, and equipment is critical to meeting deadlines while also ensuring products meet safety and performance requirements.

    In this webinar, we’ll provide an introduction to battery qualification and show interactive demonstrations of performance qualifications. We’ll also highlight best practices and value-added analytics to ensure that quality issues are surfaced soon as possible so that product release timelines are met.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Discuss the need to qualify batteries
    •  Discuss the different types of battery qualification
    •  Introduction to common performance qualifications — rate capability and cycle life among others
    • Interactive analysis demonstration, first using traditional tools and then using a Battery Intelligence System
    •  Best practices to ensure product release timelines are met
