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

Battery Analytics Tutorial Course 2/3: Data Capture and Trend Reporting
This one-hour webinar is Part 2 of a 3-part series. Battery management systems take large amounts of sensor data readings on a continual basis as part of their functionality. Battery analytics involves leveraging battery performance data for tasks such as identifying issues that can reduce battery life, flagging behavior that can negatively impact energy storage system performance, and predicting remaining cell and pack life.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Sensor data capture, aggregation and manipulation into performance reports
• Real-life examples will be shared, where aggregated historical data was analyzed and anomalous behaviors were identified
• Also shared will be the inspections and testing of the pack to identify the cause of the anomalous behavior, and the discovery and resolution of the problems that caused the anomaliesPresenter

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
