EIS for Energy Storage Tutorial Course 1/3 – Basics of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

The theoretical principles of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) are given. Details on what is being measured and which information it gives on the studied system are also explained. Some elements will be given on how an EIS measurement is performed from an instrumental point of view. Finally, the requirements that EIS must fulfill are presented.

This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

• What is an EIS measurement?
• Which information do we get from this measurement?
• How is it performed?
• Which requirements should it fulfill?

A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.

EIS for Energy Storage Tutorial Course 2/3 – How to Perform Good and Reliable EIS Measurements

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful technique, but it might be difficult to know which parameters to set as it really depends on the studied system. We give a few guidelines and tools needed to set the right amplitude, as well as other experimental parameters of interest that can increase the accuracy and the reliability of your measurement.

A discussion will be given about when and whether to choose between potentio-controlled or galvano-controlled EIS.

Finally, we will give recommendations on the conditions that the system under study should fulfill, especially time-variance, with some examples on the effect it has on impedance data and how to correct them.

This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

• How to choose the amplitude of the input signal?
• How to choose between PEIS and GEIS?
• What do I need to check on my system?

A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.

EIS for Energy Storage Tutorial Course 3/3 – Application Examples in Energy Storage Taken From The Literature

This presentation will give some examples of applications of EIS to various types of energy storage – for example, intercalation batteries (LFP, LCO, NiCd, NiMH etc.), lead acid batteries, and redox flow batteries. The examples are taken from research literature. The review will not be exhaustive, but it will provide examples that are considered relevant. For each application, some elements of comparison between EIS and DC methods will be given.

This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

• Examples in insertion batteries
• Examples in lead acid batteries
• Examples in redox flow batteries
• Examples in supercapacitors
• Comparison with DC methods

A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.

Energy Storage Applications: Front-of-the-Meter and Behind-the-Meter Perspective

The importance of energy storage is now well acknowledged and known by the energy sector. The pertinent question therefore is how and where. Energy storage applications are well spread across the value chain of energy. Electric Vehicles of course find the biggest deployment area for energy storage, but the opportunity present is much more largely spread. Right from front-of-the-meter (FTM) applications like DSM management, peak shifting, load balancing, providing ramping support to behind-the-meter (BTM) applications like DG optimization, microgrid sustenance, datacenters etc.

This presentation will explain the opportunities present in the Indian market, and also throw light on various case studies with storage at FTM and BTM levels.

This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

• Overall market forecast – opportunities in India
• Energy storage applications with renewables
• Energy storage applications for Utilities and DISCOMs
• Behind-the-Meter applications
• EV applications

A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.

(FREE) Battery Intelligence in Action: How to Launch an EV

Launching a new EV platform is a high-stakes game, where any problems encountered during battery pack development can severely jeopardize target ship dates. Developing an EV battery pack is a lengthy process comprising multiple interconnected stages that span from choosing the right cell to integrating the full pack into the vehicle. Each of these stages is complex and involves function-specific battery testing and analysis. This webinar will walk through each stage of EV pack development in detail, and will highlight how an integrated Battery Intelligence platform can drive an on-time launch and ensure quality and traceability, while minimizing risk throughout the vehicle lifecycle.

This webinar will focus on the following key topics:

• Discuss how the battery is the most complex and costly component in the development of an EV, and is the component most likely to delay launch
• Review the complex multi-step process required to develop an EV pack and demystify pack development from cell selection through vehicle integration
• Showcase an interactive demonstration of key analytics

A PDF copy of the presentation will be sent to all attendees after the event.
