The topics of the battery technology seminars on the evening before the conference (online)
Lithium batteries: Storage, charging, fire protection
The seminar language is German. The seminar will help you to independently carry out the safety-related considerations with regard to the lithium battery. In addition to specific fire-fighting measures and exemplary emergency concepts, fire detection concepts will also be discussed.
Battery management systems for high-voltage batteries (lithium-ion)
The seminar language is German. The seminar focuses on the design of a battery management system for high-voltage batteries in cars and the normative requirements. The topics of battery architecture, BMS structure, BMS functions and the algorithms for State of Charge (SoC) and State of Health (SoH) are covered in detail. The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the development and trends in battery management systems.
Ageing and post-mortem analyses of lithium-ion cells
Seminar language is German. Expensive batteries in vehicles and also in stationary applications should function for as long as possible, i.e. only lose a small amount of capacity. The service life of lithium-ion cells is limited by ageing mechanisms at the material level. These can be elucidated by cell openings and subsequent material characterisation (so-called post-mortem analyses).
Tempering lithium-ion batteries correctly
The seminar language is German. The performance and ageing behaviour of the battery systems (battery cells) is of central importance for the range, charging time and service life of electric vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have established themselves as storage technology for e-mobility due to numerous advantages. The performance of these battery systems is significantly influenced by temperature. Low temperatures lead to a loss of performance and can trigger degradation processes (ageing) that reduce the service life. Elevated temperatures also cause various side reactions and degradation processes.
Basic knowledge batteries
The seminar language is German. In this seminar you will acquire expertise in lithium-ion batteries in traction batteries. In addition to the materials used, the technology for production and the criteria for evaluation are discussed.
Lithium-ion solid state batteries
The seminar language is English. The seminar is designed to help participants understand the functionality, application potential and challenges of solid-state batteries. Based on this, it is possible to make your own initial assessment of the usability of this technology for many application scenarios and its importance for your own company.
High-voltage batteries (lithium-ion) for commercial vehicles
The seminar language is German. The seminar focuses on the suitability of different battery pack concepts (HV) for use in a battery electric commercial vehicle. The specific challenges especially for commercial vehicles (lorries) in setting up, monitoring and controlling the battery system are explained.
Lithium Ion Batteries – Safe Handling in the Work Environment and Daily Practice
The seminar language is German. In this online seminar, practice-relevant and field-tested measures and procedures in the fields of logistics, use, testing, storage, service, occupational health and safety, occupational safety and repair in the field of lithium-ion batteries are presented and discussed. Implementation options and variants are presented or jointly developed. The topics presented and developed can then be implemented 1:1 in the participants’ own environment.
Dealing with accident-damaged electric vehicles and defective batteries
The seminar language is German. Based on the structure of EVs and their components and systems, the main hazards and safety measures in case of accidents with electric cars are covered. This covers electrical safety, battery fires and chemical hazards as well as the basics of firefighting and deactivation of energy storage devices.
Thermal runaway and thermal propagation in lithium-ion batteries
The seminar language is English. The seminar will discuss the basics of thermal runaway and thermal propagation in lithium-ion batteries and present testing and simulation options. In addition, the standards and legal situation for thermal propagation is examined and aspects of functional safety in connection with thermal propagation are addressed (hazard and risk analysis according to ISO 26262:2019). Information on detection possibilities and the correct handling of lithium-ion batteries round off the seminar.
Check and test batteries correctly
The seminar language is German. Electric cars are vehicles without a combustion engine but with a large battery (traction battery) instead of a fuel tank. The seminar will first briefly and succinctly discuss the functioning and structure of the various electrochemical energy storage devices (rechargeable batteries) in order to be able to understand the requirements for testing. This includes in particular topics such as voltage (e.g. high voltage), performance, capacity, safety, designs and operating conditions.
