MARBEL WEBINAR

Battery Thermal Management: Innovations in Cell Testing, Modeling, and Cooling Systems Optimization

5th of March 2024, 11.30 – 13.15 CET, Online

As the demand for battery-powered vehicles surges, optimizing battery thermal management becomes paramount for ensuring efficiency, performance, and longevity. 

This webinar of the MARBEL project explored cutting-edge strategies in cell testing, modeling, and the development of an advanced thermal management system. From thermal characterization to predictive modeling of cell behavior and the integration of advanced sensors and algorithms, industry experts delved into the latest advancements. 

Target audience
  • Undergraduate, graduate, or master students willing to learn about thermal management in Electric Vehicles.
  • Researchers from universities or research centers specializing on characterization, testing and modeling for automotive applications and EV batteries.
  • Professionals from companies in the electromobility sector.
  • Members of other European projects.

about the project
The MARBEL project is developing an innovative and competitive lightweight battery with increased energy density and shorter recharging times with the objective to accelerate the mass market take-up of electric vehicles. MARBEL focuses on the need for fast charging and long-lasting batteries to boost end-user demands, while applying high modularity and easy assembly and developing novel testing methodologies.
The main ambition of the project is to foster the acceptance and use of electric vehicles by solving two of the main critical points in consumer’s decision-making: limited vehicle autonomy and charging time, enabling travelling longer distances.
