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

Energy Storage RTE Tutorial Course 2/3: Ampere-Hour (Ah) RTE and Voltage Polarization Energy Losses
Many aqueous systems have water electrolysis to contend with, and above 70-80% SOC, RTE losses from this competing reaction can be significant. Management of these losses has been evolving for decades, and there are now tried and tested methods mostly related to charging algorithms & partial state of charge (pSOC) cycling. These methods will be reviewed. Relevant for every battery chemistry, Cell Voltage factors, will be separated into eight different components, four each, for the cathode and anode. These will be presented & described. The variables that affect them will be reviewed, including the effects of age & cycling and methods for their ongoing measurement. Techniques to reduce and mitigate polarization will be detailed & possible benefits will be quantified in terms of RTE & cost for different scenarios.

Development and Testing of Electric Drives and Battery Management Systems
Many types of hybrid and electric drive (E-Drive) control systems are being developed for platforms in several industries. These systems also use Battery Management Systems (BMS) to handle their demanding power needs. However, the development of these technologies brings increased system complexity, evident in the many platform variants and control algorithms of various electronic control units (ECUs).
dSPACE provides comprehensive solutions for E-Drive or BMS development, from providing proper hardware I/O interfaces for prototyping/testing these applications to real-time models for simulation of these controlled systems. There is also the need for consideration of power and safety requirements and precision of the simulation or control capability.
This presentation will cover RCP and HIL systems and models for the development and validation of E-Drive and BMS control systems. Specific implementation techniques for model processing and interfaces in real-time along with critical power interface and electrical hardware functionality will be shown.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Real-time Simulation Models for Electric Motors and Battery Systems
• Rapid Prototyping hardware for E-Drive and BMS Development
• Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) Simulators for testing E-Drive/BMS SystemsPresenter

Data-Driven Battery Product Development: Turn Battery Performance Into a Competitive Advantage
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq, Inc. is a proud sponsor of this event.
Battery performance is a primary source of user dissatisfaction across a broad range of applications, and is the key bottleneck slowing the adoption of electric vehicles, renewable energy, and longer lasting, more powerful mobile electronics. Moreover, advances in battery development are continually slowed by inefficiencies and missed opportunities in analyzing the vast amounts of raw data generated during testing and operation, and the lack of effective tools to process and analyze this data.
In this webinar, we’ll present approaches to eliminate these data bottlenecks and explain how to leverage your information to help you ship quality products faster using fewer resources while ensuring safety and reliability in the field, ultimately turning battery performance into a competitive advantage.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• What bottlenecks are hindering the development of new batteries and battery powered systems?
• What are your batteries trying to tell you? Expose additional value using techniques like differential capacity analysis
• Case studies on data-driven product development at each stage of the battery lifecycle: from R&D to operation in the fieldPresenter
