During this free, 60-minute webinar, AVL's Gerhard Schagerl and Milan Zivadinovic will explain how to use electric vehicle battery data analytics to support design decisions, optimize operation, and predict issues in the field. Key topics and takeaways include:

• Learn how to analyze the vast amount of electric vehicle cell/pack test data.
• Find out how to use connected vehicle data to identify the SOH in the cloud and extend the battery lifetime for each vehicle.
• Discover how artificial intelligence can predict the risk of thermal runaway.

Laser welding is a common joining method that has been used for years in combustion engine car manufacturing. Electric vehicles introduce a new set of welding challenges, starting from the materials needed to weld, such as copper and aluminum. In addition, the weld requirements are challenging, with higher requirements for mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, sealing, and others. 

The dynamic beam laser (DBL) is a new laser technology that enables supreme control on the thermal gradient, melt pool dynamics, and microstructure. This 60-minute Webinar will look at the ways the DBL enables manufacturers to replace joining methods such as brazing with laser welding to improve efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. 
 
Topics include:

• Features of the DBL
• Case studies for welding of battery cooling plates and Al die-cast components.

A Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.  

This 60-minute webinar will examine advancements in processing thin, laminated stator and rotor stacks and take a detailed look at examples of power-dense and high-efficiency motors that use high-performance, soft magnetic alloys. Topics include:

• How using high-induction, high-permeability, and low-loss soft magnetic stator and rotor materials can increase the torque and power density of the motor in combination with improved efficiency current approach and consequences. 
• Various options for realizing the torque and power benefits by about 15-35% using these high-performance material solutions versus present technology.   
• How these high-performance motors can result in improved electric vehicle performance such as higher acceleration, improved range, higher payload capacity, and increased space.  

A Q&A session will follow the technical presentation.

This webinar will cover robots for AI and Industry 4.0.

BEST Center and the California Institute for Energy and Environment invite you to attend a webinar to learn about the High-Performance Building Operations Professional (HPBOP) Certification and pilot exam. As the first of its kind, the HPBOP credential is intended to validate the knowledge, skills, and competencies of building technicians, engineers, and operators who support high-performance commercial buildings. Health, safety, comfort, occupant productivity, energy conservation, and building de-carbonization—these are among the high-performance goals which technicians help to achieve in their daily work.

In this webinar, you'll learn about:

• Specific knowledge and competencies that define the HPBOP  
• The credential's value proposition for building owners, facility managers, and technicians
• How to apply for the Certification and assessment by written exam
• Education and work experience prerequisites
• The online pilot exam process, which is free to those who qualify.
