Measurements That Accelerate Battery Development
FREE Webinar – Metrohm is a proud sponsor of this event.
Material damage and defects in separators and collectors can ultimately cause thermal runaway and lead to failure of the cell. Improved design of these key components is vital for safer batteries, and proper testing early in the development process ensures high performance.
In this webinar, battery expert Brian Morin, CEO of Soteria Battery Innovation Group, will reveal new architectures that lead to safer cell performance. Reza Fathi, Product Specialist from Metrohm Autolab, will discuss the use of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for Li-ion battery analysis. Using case studies and real-world examples, they will also describe why performance-predictive electrical and electrochemical measurements are necessary to accelerate the development process.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• How to design separators and current collectors to deter thermal runaway
• How to utilize bench-top measurements as screening tools during early cell development to reduce time and expense
• How temperature-controlled impedance measurements lead to advanced materials analysis
• Electrochemical techniques to test and evaluate Li-ion cells

How Battery Intelligence Can “Recession-Proof” Your Battery Program
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
COVID-19 and the recession will separate winners from losers. Despite the current downturn, there are opportunities for automakers, consumer electronics OEMs, cell suppliers, and the broader battery ecosystem to adopt new tools and processes to survive the recession and come out on top. For the greater battery ecosystem, Voltaiq, the market leader in Battery Intelligence software, is helping companies adapt to the new normal for remote work, streamlined decision making, and organizational efficiency. This webinar will provide an overview of battery-specific challenges related to COVID-19, best practices highlighted by leading business publications, and real examples of how leading companies are using tools like Voltaiq to navigate the current storm, make gains on the competition, and ship product.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The impact of COVID-19 on battery development programs
• Recession as an opportunity to digitize your business while opportunity costs are lower
• How digital transformation can help companies thrive post-recession by increasing efficiency and resilience while streamlining decision-making
• Examples of how Battery Intelligence software is helping companies ship product during COVID-19

DER Tutorial Course 1/3: Energy Storage and DER Control Behind the Meter
The implementation of distributed energy resources behind the meter has become increasingly commonplace for commercial, industrial, and even residential energy consumers. While energy security is often a key driver, it is demand charge management that provides the return on the infrastructure investment. DER aggregation and demand charge management technologies however, have not yet fully caught up with the relative maturity of the resources they control. Join John Chinnick, Principal Software Architect at Nuvation Energy for an examination of distributed energy resource management behind the meter, and how to integrate and manage DER assets for demand charge management.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Types and tiers of distributed energy resource management
• Technical constraints and opportunities in asset management
• Integrating energy resources for centralized control
• A demand charge management implementation model

BIS Tutorial Course 2/3: Battery Intelligence in Research and Development (R&D)
FREE Webinar – Voltaiq is a proud sponsor of this event.
The development of new, improved battery systems is slowed by the long test times required to validate battery cycle life — three to six months for consumer electronics and multiple years for long-life applications such as transportation and energy storage.
In this webinar, we’ll review how Battery Intelligence Systems (BIS) can enable accelerated development cycles and time to market. BIS can not only speed development cycles with automated background analytics; it can also unlock new insights with enhanced analytical techniques, helping you make better decisions faster.
This webinar will focus on specific end-uses including fast-charge algorithm development, BMS algorithms and new materials development, and how BIS can accelerate optimization and new product introduction.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The state of the battery development ecosystem
• The design of experiments (DoE) to optimize performance
• Dramatic changes in workflow with Battery Intelligence System (BIS) Software
• Enhanced analytics examples including differential capacity analysis (dQ/dV vs V) and on-line correlative analysis
• BIS enabled faster development cycles and time to market
