Battery Storage: Business Models, Market and Regulation

This course empowers to expertly assess the challenges, the main drivers and the business opportunities of a changing energy system at different levels of the market. Participants will get a perspective on policy and regulation frameworks as a crucial part of any investment decision and strategy, and will discover real business examples from leading companies that are ground-breaking in their sector.

Battery Management, Connection and Control

This course will allow participants to dive deep into power conversion systems that connect storage systems to smart grids and consumers, learning how to choose the right type of converter while assessing overall system performance with respect to energy efficiency. It also introduces battery management systems and the critical parameters that we can control, the use of battery testing and operation simulation in order to predict real-world in-service behavior.

Electrodes to Cells

This course explains how a lithium-ion cell can be designed, sized, and produced for a specific capacity and energy. The key steps in the selection and production of the main components of the cell, i.e. electrodes, separator, and electrolyte, are discussed. The slurry formulation, mixing, coating, drying, calendaring, cutting, stacking, electrolyte formulation/injection, sealing/packing, and formation cycles are detailed both in terms of machineries and the processing parameters. 

Battery Storage Basics
The Battery Storage Basics course empowers learners with the basic knowledge and insights to build up their understanding of the importance and working principles of battery technologies. They will learn how batteries fit in the energy context, what is their historical importance, and explore different perspectives and classification of current battery technologies. Learners will then look into the core components and parameters of batteries and battery systems. Lastly, they will be guided through different battery technologies that are currently in use.
