Battery Technologies for Electro Mobility and Smart Grid Purposes

 

Danish-German PE:Region seminar on Battery Technologies for Electro Mobility and Smart Grid Purposes

Regional Research Activities and Business Development Options

Batteries are important in developing the energy systems of the future. They offer storage possibilities for renewable energy sources within electro mobility and Smart Grids. Energy density as well as charging and durability characteristics of the batteries are important. However, large-scale application of batteries depends on improvements in technical as well as cost/production related issues:

  • Battery cells: selection and development of materials and methods for production of stable battery cells with high energy density
  • Battery packages: development of efficient, reliable and cost competitive battery packages
  • Battery application: integration of battery packages especially within electro mobility and Smart Grid applications

This seminar provides a status on regional German-Danish research and development activities related to battery technology. Furthermore, it gives an overview of business development options and examples of on-going initiatives.

Erik Schaltz

Erik Schaltz received the MSc and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the Department of Energy, Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark, in 2005 and 2010, respectively. From 2009 to 2012, he has been an Assistant Professor and since 2012, he has been an Associate Professor. Both positions also at the Department of Energy, Aalborg University. At the Department, he is the leader of the research group in E-mobility and Drives and the vice leader of the Batteries research group. He is a guest and associate editor in several journals related to batteries and e-mobility and he is also a board member of the Danish Battery Society. His research interests include the usage of power electronics, electric machines, fuel cells, batteries, ultracapacitors, etc. as power train in various applications like electric vehicles, industrial machinery, and heavy-duty systems. In addition, he is also focused on battery state-estimation, management (electric and thermal), and modelling (electric, thermal, and lifetime) of battery cells and packs.
