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

BIS Tutorial Course 1/3: Introducing Battery Intelligence Systems (BIS)
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
While the industry is familiar with the battery and its BMS (battery management system), very few are aware of the critical need for a missing third layer, the Battery Intelligence System (BIS) needed to enable the leap in battery yield, energy density, and lifetime the industry is calling for.
Battery Intelligence Systems are needed to leverage the latent value sitting in data that companies are collecting today, including but not limited to: data generated in battery factories in Asia, product OEMs around the globe, and ‘data lakes’ collecting data from systems in the field.
Your organization already has the building blocks to enable BIS. In this webinar we’ll show you the benefits of unlocking the value of your battery data.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The need for Battery Intelligence
• State of the industry: insufficient resources to meet aggressive electrification goals
• State of data today: “Treating it like a mushroom and watching it grow”
• Automation of standard analyses
• Traceability with Battery Digital Twins

Certification Challenges for Secondary Use EV Batteries
As the 1st generation of Lithium-ion based hybrid and battery electric vehicles are reaching end-of life, or original traction batteries are being replaced with new batteries, the interest in secondary life or repurposing of these batteries continues to grow. Lithium-ion batteries present several challenges to Auto OEM’s, Recyclers and waste operators. Repurposing of EV batteries for non-automotive applications also creates new challenges for certification and acceptance by AHJ’s (Authorities Having Jurisdiction). This webinar discusses the current market challenges and concerns, while providing a roadmap of the current options for various usage cases of reused or repurposed EV batteries.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Understand the usage cases for secondary life batteries
• Review market drivers for secondary use batteries
• Review the concerns of battery and cell manufacturers with re-use of lithium-ion batteries
• Discuss the unique challenges to certifying used batteries for new applications
• Discuss current options for certification in the US market

Adding Intelligent Battery Management to Lead-Acid Energy Storage Systems
Lead batteries are resilient and have a low likelihood of catastrophic failure. However, their lifespan can be significantly reduced when operated outside of manufacturer specifications. The extension of lead battery life through active battery management is becoming a compelling value proposition for vendors of lead-based energy storage systems.
The evolving regulatory environment governing energy storage safety is also impacting how both lead and lithium chemistries are to be managed moving forward. Join Nuvation CEO Michael Worry to explore the reasons why active battery management is becoming adopted in large-scale lead battery applications, and how the changing regulatory environment is impacting lead-based energy storage.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Controlling off-gassing in vented and VRLA lead batteries
• Emerging functional safety regulations and UL 1973
• Using a BMS to reduce the levelized cost of energy
• Automating stack connection sequencing in a multi-stack ESS
• Lead-based energy storage system deployments
