7:00pm Chapter Business Meetings
7:30pm Presentation by Chris Cleary from Staco Energy Products, “Are Lithium-Ion Batteries Ready for Data Center/Broadcast Applications?”
About the Presentation:
Given some of the recent hoverboard and Samsung battery “events”, there is a lot of discussion about whether lithium-ion batteries are a safe solution for the data center and broadcast applications. This presentation will discuss the evolution of the various lead-acid batteries currently available, but the main focus will be about the future of energy storage, especially lithium-ion. We will weigh the tradeoffs between the various lithium-ion chemistries, discuss how lithium batteries are constructed, explain what a battery management system is, which regulatory requirements should be considered, and fire-mitigation/safety concerns. Further attention will concern the future. Given the amount of money flowing into alternative energy storage, what is beyond lithium-ion?
