2020.10.29-30 PhD course ‘Lithium-Ion Batteries. Systems and Applications’

Description: Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become a key technology in our daily routine, from powering our portable electronic devices and electric vehicles to offering grid support and playing a crucial role in the reliable and cost-efficient grid integration of intermittent energy sources. The objective of this two-day course is to provide the attendees with an extensive overview of the Lithium-ion battery applications, such as EVs, grid support, nano-satellites, and forklifts. Battery requirements for these applications as well as Li-ion batteries operation (power and energy management & mission profiles) in these applications will be thoroughly discussed. All the aforementioned applications require power electronics solutions (e.g., BMS, chargers, power converters, etc.) in order to assure Li-ion battery pack safety, high-efficiency, and reliable operation. Power electronics play three important roles in battery applications: charge/discharge management, battery cell balancing, and safety protection. In consequence, this course will provide an extensive state-of-the-art on the power electronics solutions for battery charge/discharge management.
