BMS Tutorial Course 3/3: Gain More Visibility Into Your Energy Storage System
Long-term ownership and management of an energy storage system requires high visibility into the batteries to enable problem identification and resolution, compare actual vs. predicted degradation curves, and plan for capacity augmentation. Real-time diagnostics and historical battery health data can be utilized to improve system reliability and reduce the total cost of ESS ownership. Join Nuvation Energy CEO Michael Worry for an examination of how battery data analytics can be retrieved from the BMS and utilized to optimize system maintenance and contribute to the long-term viability of the energy storage system.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Business impacts of low visibility into internal battery operation
• Problems frequently encountered by operators in the field
• “Cell to cloud” remote system diagnosis
• Battery warranty trackingPresenter

BMS Tutorial Course 2/3: Battery Stack Design for UL 1973 Certification
If you are developing a stationary energy storage system, chances are you have already heard of UL 1973 and UL 9540. Being certified to these important safety standards is quickly becoming the price of admission in the energy storage industry. When taking your battery stack design through the UL 1973 certification process, the level of effort is significantly impacted by the compliances and ratings of the individual components in your battery rack. Join Nate Wennyk, Senior Hardware Designer at Nuvation Energy, for an inside look at the development of UL 1973 Recognized battery stack solutions.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Understanding battery stack architecture
• Impacts of component certifications on the UL 1973 LOE
• Designing flexibility into a locked-down stack configuration
• UL 1973 Recognition case studies and engineering war storiesPresenter

Characterizing Catalytic Inks for Fuel Cells
Catalytic inks are key components when balancing cost, performance, and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC’s). Scaling up PEMFC production requires careful control of the ink to produce uniform electrode layers that use as little precious metal catalyst as possible. Particle size and dispersion critically impact the behavior of the ink and resulting performance of the electrode layers. X-ray diffraction, laser diffraction, dynamic light scattering, and X-ray fluorescence are characterization techniques with proven ability to scale-up in support of mass production that, when combined, provide a comprehensive overview of the particles in catalytic ink mixtures.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• X-Ray Diffraction
• Laser Diffraction
• X-Ray Fluorescence
• Dynamic Light ScatteringThese techniques each probe a different size regime and, when combined, provide a comprehensive overview of the particles in the catalytic ink mixture.
