While the powertrain components such as the drive motor, motor controller and cooling system are somewhat familiar to the automotive industry, the battery systems are a relatively unfamiliar aspect. This seminar will introduce participants to the concepts of hybrid vehicles, their missions and the role of batteries in fulfilling those requirements. Battery topics including limitations, trends in hybrid development, customer wants and needs, battery system development timelines, comparison of electrochemistries and safety will be examined. Current offerings, cost factors, pack design considerations and testing will also be reviewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will have an opportunity to perform a battery pack analysis exercise using a real world application and are requested to bring a calculator to class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Learning Objectives<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>By attending this seminar, you will be able to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Capture customer wants and expectations of the battery system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Identify factors that drive power and energy requirements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Determine test program structure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compare and contrast the newest relevant battery technologies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Calculate estimates of electric range and quantify the assumptions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Critically assess media claims of new battery discoveries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Who Should Attend<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This seminar is primarily intended for vehicle systems engineers, battery system integration engineers, testing engineers, electrical engineers and thermal management engineers recently assigned to their roles or returning to hybrid or electric vehicle programs. It will also be beneficial to those involved in the specification, design, development, testing and planning of hybrid vehicle programs. Product planners and program managers will find the overview aspects helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Material presented will be practical in nature with basic mathematics used to describe quantitative measures. An undergraduate degree in electrical or electromechanical engineering will assist in gaining maximum benefit from the material presented. Experience or training in battery electrochemistry is helpful, but not essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You must complete all course contact hours and successfully pass the learning assessment to obtain&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/training.sae.org\/iacet\/\">CEUs<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sae.org\/learn\/content\/c0626\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Course Outline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DAY ONE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Terminology, Definitions and Conventions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brief Review of the Hybrid Market\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Market drivers and expectations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Market influences<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Competing technologies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customer expectations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review of Common Vehicle Product Offerings (battery descriptions, power, technology, size, architecture)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fundamentals\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fossil fuel vs. hybrid vs. electric<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Source ragone plot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Efficiencies, weights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cost of fuel (fossil vs. electrons)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Role of Battery\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ICE vs. electric systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Energy vs. power<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expectations over vehicle lifetime<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product Liability \/ FMEA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Battery Development Cycle\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You don&#8217;t know what you don&#8217;t know!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why does it take so long and cost so much?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cost Factors\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Scope of product: system vs. cells vs. sticks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>$\/kW vs. $kWh<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>System Considerations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electrochemistry Selection<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safety\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Advance planning for safety tests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thermal runaway<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>String configuration (series, parallel)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Range Estimation (hybrid vs. electric)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>DAY TWO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Real-life Battery Analysis Exercise (using a contemporary vehicle as an example)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Battery Pack Design Considerations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Failure Modes\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wear-out<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power and energy degradation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High resistance \/ open circuit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Controller \/ signal malfunction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vehicle Trends\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plug-in hybrid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Battery electric<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Demanding applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fuel cell hybrids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Battery Trends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Battery Warranty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Battery Recycling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sae.org\/learn\/content\/c0626\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mr. Erik Spek<\/strong> is an advisor and seminar leader for battery and cell manufacturers, vehicle OEMs and utility grid users of energy storage systems.
