Battery Performance Evaluation using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS): University of Twente Experiences Dr.ir. Prasanth Venugopal, Assistant Professor at the Power Electronics group, University of Twente An introduction to the basics of applying EIS in electrochemical systems and provide an overview of related battery research at University of Twente. Details will be provided how EIS can aid the process of modelling battery systems, including the development of adequate equivalent circuit models (ECMs). As a specific example, the analysis of battery aging using Distribution Function of Relaxation Times (DRT) will be explored. |

| 10h35 |
Unlocking the Potential of Second-Life Batteries - Challenges and Opportunities Reza Azizighalehsari, PhD Researcher at the Power Electronics group, University of Twente There are several key challenges facing second-life battery applications, including safety concerns, performance degradation, and testing methods. Reusing EV batteries in a second-life application is not a straightforward solution and in this presentation we will address several challenges in different stages that require our attention and creative thinking. |

Metrology for characterisation of supercapacitors Gert Rietveld, VSL Chief Metrologist | Professor at University of Twente Supercapacitors are a safe and eco-friendly technology to replace or accompany batteries in high power applications. Their accurate testing under real static and dynamic operating conditions and related standards is still not very well developed. This presentation shines some light on the measurement issues to be addressed. |

Battery Aging Evaluation Using AI Methods and Impedance Data. Ning Zhansheng, PhD Candidate at the Power Electronics group, University of Twente This presentation will demonstrate how Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) can be utilized for battery aging evaluation, considering various factors such as temperature and state of charge (SOC). We will introduce different EIS-based features used to assess battery aging and show the effectiveness of these features when combined with various AI models. Lastly, the potential of our methods will be discussed across different battery chemistries. |
 |
||
| 14h25 |
Characterization & Software Emulation of batteries in an R&D environment Sven De Coster, Application Engineer CN Rood / Tektronix We will talk about the advantages of emulating batteries for testing products in a lab environment. |
