THE BATTERY SHOW TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE DAY 1: TUESDAY OCTOBER 25
9:30AM PANEL DISCUSSION: DRIVING DOWN BATTERY COSTS AND IMPROVING ENERGY DENSITY AT THE MATERIAL LEVEL
The evolution of energy storage is expanding at a phenomenal rate, with the ever-improving lithium-ion battery at the forefront for the automotive sector. The many different formulations and confi gurations of these battery systems are driving energy levels higher, but only volume and time will tell if prices can be driven lower for affordability. Today’s specialist speakers will fi ll us in on how the lithium-ion battery evolution is proceeding from their perspective.
Session Chair: Robert Galyen, President, Battery and Materials Testing, SAE/Magna
Robert is responsible for the operations of the battery and materials testing team, and the battery pack systems design and build area. He is also Chairman of the SAE Battery Standards Committee, which is establishing peer group battery standards for the emerging electric and hybrid electric vehicle markets while sustaining other standards for traditional applications.
Speakers
Kirill Bramnik, Global Product Technology Manager, Battery Materials, BASF Kirill G. Bramnik joined the R&D department of BASF AG in Ludwigshafen in 2004. His main research interests covered product and technology development of advanced inorganic materials, e.g. cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. In 2009 he joined the new Battery Materials Group at BASF Corp as Global Product Technology Manager.
Kevin Eberman, Product Development Specialist, 3M
After research of alloy anodes and MNC cathodes at Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Kevin moved into a commercialization role for MNC cathodes in 3M’s Li-ion battery materials program. After a four-year gap at Medtronic, he returned to 3M to commercialize alloy anode materials and provide strategic support to the cathode business.
Dr. Pankaj Arora, Technology Manager, DuPont Energy Storage Solutions
Pankaj specializes in the design and modeling of electrochemical systems, and leads advanced material development for energy storage applications. He has a BTech in Electrochemical Engineering from CECRI in India, and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from University of South Carolina. He is also pursuing his MBA from University of Virginia.
11:00AM COFFEE SERVED IN EXHIBITION HALL SPONSORED BY
11:45AM METAL-AIR TECHNOLOGIES: THE FUTURE OF ENERGY STORAGE? With the potential to offer 10x the energy density of existing batteries, metal-air is increasingly being viewed as the next-generation energy storage technology. This presentation will provide an overview of metal- air technologies, looking at their current development status and some of the remaining challenges to successful market introduction.
Keynote Speaker: Harvey Mancey, Vice President of Business Development, ReVolt Technology
Harvey has a background in product management, applications engineering, and business development. He has held senior management positions with Varta, AEA Technology, PolyStor, Valence Technology (VLNC), and Tianjin Lishen Battery Joint Stock. Harvey joined ReVolt in 2009 to look after business development activities as the company moves from the lab to commercialization.
12:15PM SUBJECTING CELLS TO CUSTOM ABUSED TESTS: WHAT CAN WE LEARN?
High energy density and reliability have made lithium-ion batteries the preferred choice for battery-operated consumer products. It is therefore not surprising that lithium-ion battery packs are considered for use in hybrid electric vehicles (HEV). However, unique failure modes may occur and the question is always – can a failure be predicted?
