The Battery Heat Blueprint: From Cell Fundamentals to System Design and Deployment

• Identify battery cell characteristics related to thermal performance
• Compare and contrast tradeoffs in cell-related pedigrees
• Identify failure modes and safety risks associated with poor thermal control
• Apply validation modeling and simulation to quantify thermal system design
• Develop and present a basic thermal management plan for a case study system

Mechanical/Electrical/Chemical/Systems Engineers who are designing or deploying advanced battery cells and battery systems. This audience often has little understanding of the uniqueness of different cell and system types and how they affect performance and functionality, so this course will enhance their familiarity with requirements and deployment techniques. As cell thermal failures are one of the leading causes of events (early failures in the field, lack of performance or life, thermal events), a thorough comprehension of how to successfully deploy the right system is essential for this audience.

Basics of batteries, energy, and ideally some electrochemistry. Minimum level is associate’s degree in technical related field. Industry experience with thermal dynamics or advanced electrochemistry is a benefit.
