Group photo of the Battery Safety Talk with speaker and organizer

On May 15, 2024, around 80 experts from the mobility industry gathered at the Green Testing Lab in the Hartberg Eco Park to discuss the latest developments and challenges about battery safety in e-mobility. In a total of seven lectures, well-known speakers provided valuable input from different perspectives, which was deepened in following discussions with the audience.

Host of the Battery Safety Talk and founder of Green Testing Lab Max Hofer welcomes the participants

As part of the Battery Safety Talk, well-known speakers delivered seven presentations from different perspectives on the topic of battery safety. Aim of the event was to network experts in order to share knowledge and thus increase safety in this area.

Expert audience from all over Austria at the Battery Safety Talk 2024

Around 80 experts from research, development, industry and authorities were able to exchange ideas on the topic of battery safety at the Battery Safety Talk in May 2024. The organizer was the Green Testing Lab in Hartberg, which created the opportunity to get to know different perspectives and to enter discussions with experts from different areas.

Combined building and plant simulation in real time

In a dynamic building simulation, the zones (rooms) are in contact with their surroundings and with the adjacent building components, the people, equipment and objects located in them. In the combined building and plant simulation, the dynamic interaction between building, plant and control is also taken into account. A building and plant simulation, adapted in real time to the actual weather conditions and current measurement data from the building, can help to optimize the control of the building services and thus reduce energy costs and increase user comfort.

Two Austrian demonstration building digital twin

In recent years, AEE INTEC has completed two projects for the development and initial implementation of a digital twin on real buildings in Austria. This digital twin is a detailed simulation model using IDA ICE software, which is compared in real time with measurement data from a real building. This creates a model that represents the real condition of the building and its building services at any given time. This model can then be used for automated fault detection or to optimize control systems. The aim is to reduce energy consumption and improve user comfort.

Areas of application for highly mobile hydrogen refuelling

Areas of application for highly mobile, construction site-compatible hydrogen refuelling at locations with no or insufficient refuelling and charging infrastructure.

Design example for a highly mobile hydrogen refuelling station

Functionality of highly mobile hydrogen refuelling using the example of the MAX Mobile Refueler from Maximator: (1) The refuelling vehicle is refuelled at the public 700 bar truck filling station. (2) The already compressed hydrogen is brought to the machine by the transport vehicle. (3) Hydrogen is refuelled into the machine in a few minutes using a displacement principle with low energy input, whereby the highly mobile filling device is driven by the machine to be refuelled.

Graphical representation of the assessment across a range of different storage technologies

Comparison of various parameters (storage capacity, TRL, efficiency, cost, safety and commercial availability) for the storage technologies under consideration. These include liquid hydrogen, compressed hydrogen, organic hydrogen carriers, metal hydrides, ammonia, but also redox flow and lithium-based battery systems, pumped storage and chemical looping hydrogen (HyLoop).

Concept of surfactant-doped polyaniline coating for gas diffusion layers

PTFE-free hydrophobisation and improved electrical conductivity: Surface-active species consisting of non-polar, negatively charged terminal groups and apolar residues attach themselves to the positively charged PANI framework, which ensures electrical conductivity.

Visibility and Obervability of distribution grid assets and grid status

One challenge for the use of decentralized flexibility is the current lack of visibility of the systems and the lack of observability in the distribution grid, as well as the lack of real-time information on the topology of the distribution grid itself. These problems make it difficult to verify the actual need for flexibility as well as to validate or measure the flexibility provided.

Data exchange between different stakeholders as a challenge

The energy system data and the data exchange between transmission and distribution system operators, as well as suppliers and aggregators, are currently only sufficient to a limited extent to enable an appropriate provision of flexibility services.
