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

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 marketPresenter

Battery Performance Testing – Pay Attention to the Details!
The success of an energy storage project for stationary applications depends, for a large part, on how well the battery performs over time. Since there are little case studies showing real-world lifetime performance comparisons for various technologies the battery selection is primarily based on the performance data in a laboratory environment. Knowledge of the test conditions under which the data is obtained is critical to determine the suitability of the battery technology for the intended application. The influence of test conditions on the battery performance, and consequently on the battery selection process is discussed. The presentation presents real-world examples to emphasize on how subtle and often unspecified test conditions can affect the performance and lead to an un-optimized battery solution.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Battery selection process for stationary energy storage
• Primary test conditions commonly presented
• But…what’s hidden beneath the surface?
• Examples of some subtle test conditions, if ignored, may lead to an un-optimized battery solution
• How a good understanding of the product performance under different conditions can empower our customers with operating optionsPresenter

Battery Selection Tutorial Course 3/3: Integrating Your Battery Into Your Product – Designing for Worst-Case Scenarios
The last part in Exponent’s three-part series, this webinar will focus on the finished product from the viewpoint of the battery. How can you best protect your battery within your device? Is your battery going to be user-replaceable? If you’re creating multi-cell packs, how should they be separated from (yet still connected to) each other? Should a thermal event occur, how can you prevent that from cascading through the whole pack? This webinar will help to answer many of those questions, and discuss design questions to help safeguard your battery pack throughout its entire lifecycle.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Creating multi-cell packs
• Containing thermal runaway eventsPresenter
