The Advanced Automotive Batteries (AAB) Conference helps engineers keep pace with the technology and market development of advanced vehicles and the batteries that will power them. This year, it takes place at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta, GA from Feb. 3 to 7. It offers a technical and business exchange between large energy-storage users and developers and includes four symposia, tutorials, exhibits, posters, and short presentations. Many of the carmakers' chief energy-storage technologists will chair a session, present, or attend AABC.
The conference technical sessions include:
LLIBTA symposium on large lithium-ion battery technology and application:
– Track A: Cell Materials and Chemistry — An in-depth examination of the recent developments and future prospects of cell materials and chemistry in large li-ion batteries.
– Track B: Battery Engineering — An exploration of cell and pack engineering for various large-battery applications, li-ion battery life requirements and challenges, and validation of battery safety and abuse tolerance.
ECCAP symposium on large electrochemical (EC) capacitor technology and applications — A review of large EC capacitor technology, including advances in materials and cell design, pack engineering and performance in key applications.
ABBTAM symposium on advanced automotive battery technology, application and market — Dissects the vehicle and battery markets by segment and reviews the recent advances in automotive battery systems technology.
Tutorials on EC capacitors and li-ion cell and pack technology — Offers world-class tutorials on the fundamentals of EC capacitors and large li-ion battery technology.
Posters — Authors are encouraged to submit an abstract in order to apply for a poster that presents your latest R&D findings
Exhibits — Companies can show their wares in a booth. Exhibit hall hours are Tuesday (Feb. 4), 5:30 to 7 p.m.; Wednesday (Feb. 5), noon to 8 p.m.; Thursday (Feb. 6), noon to 7 p.m.
