Speaker: Sheldon Williamson
Range anxiety and long charging times are the primary holdups for the widespread adoption of e-mobility. This is despite significant advances in lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology. DC fast charging could be a solution to alleviate range anxiety. However, the main drawback of rapid charging (up to 350 kW) is that it leads to rapid deterioration of battery capacity. The talk will discuss how estimation and control can be improved through IoT and ML advances, and review the developments trends, and barriers to the commercialization of research ideas that persist in the industrial or academic community
