LFP (lithium iron phosphate) has become a key battery technology in the market, competing with NCM. Being both cheaper than NCM batteries, while also offering superior safety characteristics, they have attracted great interest. China’s leadership in LFP has caused many battery players previously focused on NCM to enter the LFP market as well. While LFP batteries also have some disadvantages compared to NCM, such as lower energy density, poor charging performance at low temperatures, and recycling difficulties, many new technologies are being introduced to solve these problems. This talk will review the future of LFP batteries using patent analysis techniques to understand technological development in this area.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Why LFP batteries are attracting attention
• Why Chinese players dominate the LFP battery market
• Challenges presented by LFP batteries and potential solutions
• Can Korean and US companies become leaders in LFP technology?

The US 2020 Market for Electrified Vehicles: Forward, Backward, or Sideways?
FREE Webinar – PlugVolt is a proud sponsor of this event.
Sales of battery electrics and hybrids were up last year, while plug in hybrids dropped even as the number of entries increased. New products are coming in 2020 and beyond; will sales rise quickly enough to keep the market moving forward? Product, price, incentives, features, branding, and marketing all matter and will be discussed.
For the second year in a row, we expect Tesla’s US sales to decline, although each category (e.g., hybrids, plug ins, battery electrics) will increase with the strongest increase in…regular and mild hybrids.
Major changes in costs and technology, as well as the impact of suppliers in these areas, will be discussed, as well as expectations for the near-term.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Review of 2019 Sales with a 2020 Forecast
• How Regulation in the US and Beyond Is Moving the Market
• Regulation Matters, But Company Strategies Often Matter More
• Is There a Gap Between Strategy and Reality?
• The Role of Suppliers and TechnologyPresenter

New Developments in Isothermal Microcalorimetry and ARC® Testing Methods
FREE Webinar – THT is a proud sponsor of this event.
This presentation describes two main types of calorimetric techniques which can be used to carry out performance and safety testing on batteries. These are isothermal calorimetry and adiabatic calorimetry.
THT’s new Micro Battery Calorimeter is presented along with initial data from a prototype unit. This device is focused on high sensitivity measurement which is required for coin and button cell samples which produce only milliwatts of heat during use. This is an example of an isothermal calorimeter system.
The second half of the presentation covers battery testing methods for the ARC® adiabatic calorimeter system. The theoretical background of the test method is described and recommended practice for various types of testing are discussed.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• Principles of isothermal calorimetry for batteries
• Introduction to the Micro Battery Calorimeter and initial data
• Theoretical background to ARC® testing
• Recommended ARC® testing practicesPresenter

Simulation Of Battery Crash – Where Do We Stand?
FREE Webinar – PlugVolt is a proud sponsor of this event.
Safety is an important functional requirement in the development of large-format, energy-dense, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries used in electrified vehicles. Computer aided engineering (CAE) tools that predict the response of a Li-ion battery pack to various abusive conditions can provide valuable insight during the design phase and reduce the need for physical testing.
However, the physics under such simulations is quite complex, and involves structural, thermal, electrical and electrochemical behaviors all coupled together and spanning length and time scales of different orders of magnitude.
In this talk, ANSYS LS-DYNA’s capabilities in the area of battery simulation will be introduced, current numerical challenges discussed, as well as a potential way forward towards including battery models in full car crash simulations.
This webinar will focus on the following key topics:
• The state of battery crash simulations
• Numerical challenges
• Capabilities of the commercial finite element code in ANSYS LS-DYNA
• A path towards capturing the thermal/mechanical/electromagnetic behavior of batteries during a full vehicle crashPresenter
