Technology Focus Topic: BATTERIES IN POWER ELECTRONICS

Industrial Forum 2: "Batteries in Power Electronics"

In the future volatile energy system batteries will play a central role. Batteries will be also the natural connection point between green transportation sector and electric grid based on sustainable energies. In the Panel experts of different fields from materials for batteries to battery management systems will discuss about battery technologies and their impact on power electronic design. The possibility of power converters to characterize the battery and influence its charging speed and its lifetime will be critically discussed. With an interactive discussion with the audience the panel speakers will confront with the question: are batteries the new frontier for power electronics after electrical machines and electric grid ?

The Discussion will be moderated by Prof. Marco Liserre, Director of the Laboratory for Reliable Battery-Assisted Energy Conversion (BAEW), KiNSIS, Kiel University (https://www.kinsis.uni-kiel.de/en/platforms-networks-1/laboratory-for-reliable-battery-assisted-energy-conversion-baew)
