Introduction to Battery Pack Design, Integration, and Validation in China

I.D. #

C1236

Duration

2 Days

New energy requirements for Chinażs vehicle market are significantly increasing battery system development. This rapid increase in battery development is elevating the importance of optimized battery system design, integration, and validation. Once the vehicle platform is determined, the vehicle must realize benefits from an optimized battery system design that includes enhanced acceleration speed, stable performance, long life, and desired range.

This comprehensive 2 day seminar introduces participants to system level design considerations, including battery and vehicle interface requirements, battery design and production validations, design changes and the inevitable performance compromises that must be addressed when implementing these technologies. This seminar begins with vehicle level battery requirements and analysis of the battery-vehicle interface followed by an in-depth study of system electronics, thermal management, performance, and CAN communication requirements.

Learning Objectives

By attending this training program you will be able to:

Analyze battery system design parameters and their vehicle performance effects
Evaluate the compromises between battery performance, life, and stability
Specify the fundamental design validation standards, testing methods and acceptance criteria and design changes strategy
Estimate from CFD and FEA simulation for thermal management and NVH design concept
Discuss opportunities for advanced system integration

Who Should Attend

This seminar is intended for engineers involved in all fields related to the design or development of battery electronics, battery size selection, battery system integration, and validation.

Prerequisites

An undergraduate engineering degree or a strong technical background is highly recommended.
