TUT7: Battery Pack Engineering for xEVs

Monday, June 24: 10:30 AM - 12:30 pm

WINDSOR COMPLEX

This tutorial will give an overview of battery systems design. An overall product development process will be discussed for a typical system. Design aspects of each individual subsystem will be explored with cost impacts of different design choices. Testing, validation and designing for safety will be other key areas of discussion.
