TIME AGENDA
10:00-13:00 

Workshop A on Safety

Battery safety is a multilevel approach along the value chain from materials to pack aspects. This workshop will treat the safety demands for each part of the value chain and discuss, which safety approach is satisfying. In particular we will speak about safety demands for:

  • Raw materials (purity)
  • Cell components
  • Modules
  • Battery Packs

A particular aspect will be a separate view on BoL (Begin of Life) and EoL (End of Life) and second life.

14:00-17:00 Workshop B on 48V

48 V could not only be the mandatory on board supply system solution for tomorrow but also the mass market HEV technology. There are special demands on cell technology, packaging and installation space (e.g. under the hood). In the workshop we will discuss the optimal cell choice (chemistry, housing, dimensions, energy, power, lifetime, safety) as well as pack level demands (volume, thermal management, installation space) and do a cost analysis. This will be done separately for 48 V as advanced on board supply system as well as for future low voltage HEV generations.
