This seminar will focus on present and future needs of portable and stationary electrochemical energy sources, and highlight the latest technological developments designed to satisfy application requirements.
In-depth discussions will include worldwide status quo of some raw materials presently under research, and technological advances and recent developments in anodes, cathodes, electrolytes, separators and other battery components.
Typical cycle life aspects of designing and manufacturing energy storage solutions will be reviewed from an applications perspective, including electrical and mechanical designing for energy vs. power cells. Topics will cover several existing battery chemistries, including NiMH and Li Ion and their application to xEVs, along with recent advances in some lithium ion technologies, challenges faced in bringing these batteries to a high volume production, and any specific performance requirements driven by such applications.
The seminar includes discussions on stationary storage applications and electric drive vehicles (EDVs), covering micro, mild, full/strong and plug-in HEVs as well as pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
Day 1 also offers a facility tour and an exclusive, unique opportunity for an inside look at AVL’s California Tech Center (CTC) capabilities, and to interface with their development experts, during the evening Cocktail Reception. AVL supports the global electric drive transportation industry through power-train design, development, testing and verification capabilities. AVL’s CTC provides comprehensive testing services, processes and innovative software & control strategies to manage the integration of alternative fuel and hybrid power-trains while maintaining drivability, safety, and durability. The centerpiece of the facility is a full vehicle test bed that integrates a chassis tester and wheels-off dynamometer with drive-by-wire, wheel-slip, and vehicle dynamics simulation.
Day 2 will also cover an extensive overview of Advanced Development Methodologies for Hybrid Vehicles.
