Lithium-Ion Batteries. Systems and Applications (2020)

Welcome to 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 electronics 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 application 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 the 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.

Day 1: Power Electronics Solutions for Lithium-ion Batteries – Daniel Stroe, Remus Teodorescu, Maciej Swierczynski (8 hours)
• Overview of Lithium-ion batteries applications
• Battery Management Systems (BMS): functionalities, architectures etc.
• Power converter topologies for Lithium-ion battery systems
• EV chargers
• Smart battery packs using Lithium-ion Batteries

Day 2: Lithium-ion Batteries Applications – Erik Schaltz, Maciej Swierczynski, Vaclav Knap (8 hours)
• The operation of Lithium-ion batteries in stationary applications
o Residential systems
o Grid support
• Lithium-ion batteries in space applications – an example for nano-satelites
• Lithium-ion batteries in vehicle applications
o Modeling, sizing and control of battery powered vehicles

Prerequisites:
A degree in electrical engineering or control engineering and Matlab/Simulink knowledge are strongly recommended. The course language is English.

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 5,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
