Safety and Preventing Thermal Run Away in Large Li-Ion Batteries
David White, Senior Member Technical Staff, Leon Adams, Sales/Marketing Manager, SouthWest Electronic Energy Group
Due to time and safety precautions built into vehicles, industry and consumers have grown comfortable with the safety risk associated with gasoline engines, even though gasoline presents a high energy safety risk. However, electric vehicles powered by Li-Ion battery packs are newer and not so well understood. This article will discuss the safety advancements that should be built into Li-Ion battery packs.

The Challenges of Manufacturing Lithium-Ion Batteries for the Electric Vehicle Industry
Stuart Paterson, Doug Withers, Rebecca Trengove, Axeon
Over the last few years lithium-ion has become the battery chemistry of choice for the new generation of electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles. However, manufacturing such high power batteries is considerably more complex than that of smaller packs. This article seeks to outline some of the challenges that we believe face the industry, based on our experience both as a designer and manufacturer of electric vehicle (EV) batteries and having managed the manufacture and complete system integration of batteries for several customers to their design.

The Changing Landscape of Battery Storage
Robert Magyar • VARTA Storage GmbH
In the last several years, there has been tremendous media attention surrounding the potential for battery storage to play a significantly larger role within the public electricity grids both at the utility level and within the market-side ownership of Distributed Energy Resources. Much like 10 to 12 years ago, when the photovoltaic (PV) solar market was beginning to mainstream, today’s view of the battery storage market often appears complex and confusing. While some see battery storage as the complete answer to the intermittent power production of PV solar energy, others see the technology as costly and difficult to maintain. As in all technologies, the answer is not within the technology itself, but the business model applications and government regulations which will ultimately determine how far ”the great battery storage revolution” will go.
