important to know

Recently, I had the opportunity to #review two manuscripts on different domains of my interest -> i) electrolyte studies in Li-ion batteries and ii) prioritizing key research areas in ODeL practices. Although not involved in active research, staying updated on the latest developments in fields of interest, in my case which is in technology, battery science, and talent development is essential. My learnings from the review process and related research are: 🔸 Li-ion batteries research is at interesting crossroads - where studies on alternatives like solid-state batteries for EVs are emerging: - like the recent article by QuantumScape and VW group on solid state cells - and improvements on conventional electrolytes for li-ion batteries are equally researched. 🔸 From a learning perspective, post-pandemic, significant research has been conducted to strengthen learning practices and build #resilience and #innovation in talent development across academia and industries. #research #peerreview #liionbatteries #learninganddevelopment #talentdevelopment Ref: https://lnkd.in/grQMWigc

Once again this year, we are pleased to give university employees the opportunity to present their research at the Aachen Colloquium. Their innovative projects and research work will be presented in a poster presentation as well as in a video pitch. Here we present the next posters: Poster 9: Edgar Jungblut (Forschungszentrum Jülich) presents his work on this topic "Driving profiles and operational strategies as key for cost-efficient level 4 automated trucking": "Automated driving can reduce trucking operational costs by eliminating the need for human drivers, but it increases upfront costs due to the required technology. For level 5 automated trucks, cost savings are clear since driver costs are fully eliminated, whereas for level 4 trucks, savings depend on the extent of highway driving and the management of off-highway operations. Various operational strategies, such as using shuttles or teleoperation for off-highway driving, offer unique cost-saving opportunities, making level 4 automation cost-efficient only in specific scenarios." Poster 10: Kai von Schulz (Furtwangen University) has created a poster on "Measures to optimize the efficiency, weight and noise emissions of a gearbox for electric light commercial vehicles": "This study evaluates optimization measures for the efficiency, weight and noise emissions of an e-mobility gearbox, including the tooth profiles, bearings and gearbox housing. An XiL framework allows real-virtual coupled testing, and a test rig is used to validate the models and measures." #AachenColloquium #UniversityResearch #InnovationInEngineering #ResearchPoster #ForschungszentrumJülich #FurtwangenUniversity

I just experienced a great week in Strasbourg attending the #AABC Europe conference with Tom Sloan. It was great to see the thought leaders in our space come together and discuss some of the key topics to facilitate mass adoption of Electric Vehicles (Passenger & Commercial). Let's face it, we have a major threat on our hands and the Chinese market is ahead of us. The only way to catch up is by working together as an overall industry and I came away from the conference feeling very optimistic about the European & US market as some of the solutions that have been proposed will overcome the challenges that are head. So why were TECHNE there? As a recruiter in our space, we have a solid footprint within the BMS market and we attended the conference to learn how the bridge between Software & Chemistry is evolving and to truly understand what are the key development factors that is going to facilitate the mass adoption of EV vehicles. The conference did not disappoint and here are a few findings we extracted: - The major OEM's are driving significant change in their cell choices and there seems to be an ongoing theme of transitioning from prismatic cells to cylindrical cells. - The continued research, options and new technology findings that we are witnessing in relation to chemical compounds are going to be the key to mainstream EV adoption. - Rapid charging is a key enabler to the adoption of both passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles and the industry is not short of options, we have witnessed "game-changing" options, and the one that stands out is the utilisation of Graphene raw material that is enabling exceptional charge times with minimum disruption on the lifecycle of the battery system. - The term Software Defined Vehicle is getting chucked around the industry but the conference provided us with some great insights into how the industry is integrating Battery systems into Zonal Architectures. We are seeing some very interesting concepts from Tier 1 suppliers such as Munich Electrification. - The commercial vehicle (CV) market is a great market to showcase how we develop batteries that will eradicate range anxiety and although they are somewhat behind, the CV industry is expected to go through a huge phase of growth. - Businesses that truly connect the dots between Software, Chemistry & Physics will win the development race. - By combining Software solutions & cost-effective chemistry solutions, it will allow us as an industry to meet the required cost optimisation objectives making EV's more affordable for consumers. I've come away feeling proud to be part of this journey and I will look forward to continue going on this journey with you all in the years ahead.

🚀 Reflecting on a Key Milestone in My Research Journey! 🚀 A year ago, I had the honor of publishing my paper, "Hybrid Electric Vehicle: An Overview of Technology," in the International Journal of Electrical Power and Machine System on the STM (Scientific Technical Medical) Journal platform. I’m excited to finally share this work with my network, as it represents a significant step in my exploration of sustainable automotive technologies. This paper delves into the fascinating world of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), examining the underlying technology that makes them a viable solution for reducing emissions and conserving energy. I conducted an in-depth analysis of how hybrid systems seamlessly integrate electric motors with conventional internal combustion engines. The research highlights the efficiency gains, performance improvements, and environmental benefits these systems offer. In addition to breaking down the mechanics of how hybrid vehicles operate, the paper also explores the challenges faced by this technology, including battery efficiency, cost constraints, and infrastructure needs. I aimed to provide a comprehensive overview that not only discusses the current state of HEV technology but also anticipates future developments that could further drive the adoption of cleaner transportation methods. Although this publication came out a year ago, the insights and knowledge gained from this research remain highly relevant in today’s context of rapidly evolving automotive technology. I'm eager to engage with my peers and colleagues on this topic, hear your thoughts, and discuss how we can collectively contribute to advancing sustainable transportation. Thank you to KrishnaMadrewar who supported me during this research journey your encouragement was invaluable. Let’s continue the conversation and work together to drive innovation in green technology! #HybridElectricVehicle #SustainableTechnology #Engineering #Research #Innovation #HEV #GreenTech #AutomotiveEngineering #CleanEnergy

Once again this year, we are pleased to give university employees the opportunity to present their research at the Aachen Colloquium. Their innovative projects and research work will be presented in a poster presentation as well as in a video pitch. Here we present the next posters: Poster 3: Lotte Wagner-Douglas from Institut für Kraftfahrzeuge (ika) - RWTH Aachen University presents the results of the "AnRox" (Ausfallsicheres und effizientes elektrisches Antriebssystem für Robotertaxis [Fail-safe and efficient electric drive system for robot cabs]) project: "Workshops and a subsequent online study were conducted throughout Germany to research and quantify the requirements of users of automated vehicles in a degraded state." Poster 4: Robin Reimann from Cologne University of Applied Sciences discusses "A comparison of SRM drive units with commercially available electric vehicle drive systems, focusing on efficiency": "The synchronous machine (mostly used in cars), either requires rare earths or is not maintenance-free. The switched reluctance machine (SRM) has the advantage that neither rare earths nor slip rings are required. However, its effeciency needs to be increased, various methods were discussed." #AachenColloquium #UniversityResearch #InnovationInEngineering #ResearchPoster #RWTHAachen #CologneUniversity
