    The Role of All-Solid-State Batteries for Grid Energy Storage

    All solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are widely believed to be a promising technology for next-generation energy storage. While Li-ASSBs are slated to serve the electric vehicles market, Na-ASSBs are a promising technology for electrical grid storage due to their lowered costs and longevity. Prevailing obstacles to commercialization include poor cathode interfacial stability, and the lack of a robust sodium anode, in addition to low areal capacities. In this webinar, we will discuss design strategies to enable stable interfaces, as well as utilize sodium alloy-based anodes to enable ASSBs with higher energy densities, longer cycle life, and longer calendar life.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • State-of-the-art Na solid-state batteries and their role for grid energy storage applications
    • Low cost, novel solid electrolytes enabling long cycle life via interface stabilization
    • Na alloy-based anodes eliminating dendrite formation and enabling wide temperature operation
    • Processing considerations to achieve high areal capacities for high energy densities

    How to Safely Select DC Fuses for EES Systems

    Proper selection of direct current (DC) overcurrent fuses is not as simple as it may seem, and several factors need to be looked at for proper selection. Design engineers need to look at many different things such as what we’re protecting, system voltage changes, circuit fault currents, minimum breaking currents, mechanical requirements, temperature deratings, system operation regarding cycling, etc. All of these and other factors need to be taken into consideration to safely select the proper DC fuse for each unique application. This presentation will take you through the basics of DC and AC fuses, DC circuit protection methods, and review EES fuse selection along with a case study. With the rapid growth of Electrical Energy Storage systems being implemented and deployed, we see an opportunity to educate everyone on this topic.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Fuseology
    • Fuse Selection Practices
    • DC Circuit Protection
    • EES Fuse Selection Methodology
    • Case Study

    Advanced Test Methods for Isothermal and Adiabatic Battery Calorimetry

    This presentation describes two main types of calorimetric techniques that can be used to carry out performance and safety testing on lithium-ion and other high-energy batteries.

    The first half of the presentation introduces isothermal calorimetry; the various types of instruments, the method of operation and examples of data which can be obtained, including new developments from THT.

    The second half of the presentation covers battery testing methods for the ARC® adiabatic calorimeter system. The theoretical background of the test method is described and recommended practices for various types of testing are discussed.

    The presentation also mentions complementary test methods that can be integrated with calorimetry to provide even more useful analysis, and new developments in test equipment from THT.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Principles of isothermal and adiabatic calorimetry testing for high-energy batteries
    • Advantages and limitations of these two methods
    • Discussion of different test types and results
    • Recommended testing practices, limitations, future developments

    Grid Security in Battery Energy Storage and Power Resiliency Applications

    North American energy storage system providers are facing increasing demands from governments to source domestic solutions that address utility grid security concerns. However, energy storage still requires a global supply chain due to the early-stage nature of the domestic battery industry.

    Join Nuvation Energy and e2 Companies for an exploration of how energy storage system integrators are delivering solutions that balance domestic sourcing requirements against global supply chain dependencies.

    This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

    • Domestically sourcing critical controls
    • Identifying critical components for domestic sourcing
    • Domestically sourced vs. designed and made in North America
    • Ensuring security and reliability in your manufacturing process
    • Software vs. hardware controls
