Online seminars
Exciting online seminars on the day before the conference make the 2026 Battery Conference even more attractive. They enable an intensive familiarisation with the topic and create an overview of the current state of battery research and simulation technologies.
Topics in battery technology online seminars on April 13, 2026
Battery energy storage systems (BESS) – planning, integration and economical operation
The seminar language is German. Large-scale battery storage systems play a central role in the energy transition and the expansion of renewable energies. The seminar provides practical knowledge on the planning, design and economical operation of stationary battery storage systems (BESS). It covers the most important technical components, system architectures, connection concepts, regulatory frameworks and applications ranging from frequency control and self-consumption optimisation to grid services. An additional focus is on co-location, i.e. the shared use of grid connection capacities and infrastructure by battery storage systems and generation facilities such as photovoltaic or wind farms. The aim of the online seminar is to provide participants with a sound understanding of the technical and economic success factors of modern large-scale storage projects.
Battery safety – Focus on thermal runaway and thermal propagation
The seminar language is German. TThermal runaway, the thermal runaway of a cell, and thermal propagation, the spread of a thermal event from cell to cell in a battery, are among the greatest safety challenges in the operation of lithium-ion batteries, which are now increasingly used in the growing electric mobility segment. The seminar will discuss the basics of thermal runaway and thermal propagation in lithium-ion batteries and present testing and simulation options. In addition, the standards and legal situation regarding thermal propagation will be examined and aspects of functional safety in connection with thermal propagation will be discussed (hazard and risk analysis according to ISO 26262:2019). Information on detection options and the correct handling of lithium-ion batteries will round off the seminar.
Lithium batteries: Storage, charging, fire protection
The seminar will help you to independently carry out the safety-related considerations with regard to the lithium battery. In addition to specific fire-fighting measures and exemplary emergency concepts, fire detection concepts will also be discussed.
Battery management systems for high-voltage batteries (lithium-ion)
The seminar language is German. The seminar focuses on the design of a battery management system for high-voltage batteries in cars and the normative requirements. The topics of battery architecture, BMS structure, BMS functions and the algorithms for State of Charge (SoC) and State of Health (SoH) are covered in detail. The aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the development and trends in battery management systems.
Ageing and post-mortem analyses of lithium-ion cells
Expensive batteries in vehicles and also in stationary applications should function as long as possible, i.e. lose as little capacity as possible. The service life of lithium-ion cells is limited by ageing mechanisms at the material level. These can be elucidated by cell openings and subsequent material characterisation (so-called post-mortem analyses).
Tempering lithium-ion batteries correctly
The seminar language is German. The performance and ageing behaviour of the battery systems (battery cells) is of central importance for the range, charging time and service life of electric vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have established themselves as storage technology for e-mobility due to numerous advantages. The performance of these battery systems is significantly influenced by temperature. Low temperatures lead to a loss of performance and can trigger degradation processes (ageing) that reduce the service life. Elevated temperatures also cause various side reactions and degradation processes.
Basic knowledge batteries
In this seminar you will acquire expertise in lithium-ion batteries in traction batteries. In addition to the materials used, the technology for production and the criteria for evaluation are discussed.
Lithium-ion solid state batteries
The seminar language is English. The seminar is designed to help participants understand the functionality, application potential and challenges of solid-state batteries. Based on this, it is possible to make your own initial assessment of the usability of this technology for many application scenarios and its importance for your own company.
High-voltage batteries (lithium-ion) for commercial vehicles
The seminar focuses on the suitability of different battery pack concepts (HV) for use in a battery electric commercial vehicle. The specific challenges especially for commercial vehicles (lorries) in setting up, monitoring and controlling the battery system are explained.
Lithium Ion Batteries – Safe Handling in the Work Environment and Daily Practice
In this online seminar, practice-relevant and field-tested measures and procedures in the fields of logistics, use, testing, storage, service, occupational health and safety, occupational safety and repair in the field of lithium-ion batteries are presented and discussed. Implementation options and variants are presented or jointly developed. The topics presented and developed can then be implemented 1:1 in the participants’ own environment.
Battery management systems – basics and advanced concepts
After a comprehensive introduction to battery management systems (BMS), advanced concepts of battery management systems are taught using specific examples. The topics of functional safety and cyber security in the BMS environment as well as BMS requirements and relevant standards will also be covered. In addition to the lecture, participants will work on case studies and tasks in small groups. There will be the opportunity to discuss participants’ own projects and work on real issues. By presenting and comparing specific BMS concepts from the industry, the seminar will provide a unique insight into the rapidly developing field of BMS technology.
Dealing with accident-damaged electric vehicles and defective batteries
The seminar language is German. Based on the structure of EVs and their components and systems, the main hazards and safety measures in case of accidents with electric cars are covered. This covers electrical safety, battery fires and chemical hazards as well as the basics of firefighting and deactivation of energy storage devices.
Check and test batteries correctly
The seminar language is German. Electric cars are vehicles without a combustion engine but with a large battery (traction battery) instead of a fuel tank. The seminar will first briefly and succinctly discuss the functioning and structure of the various electrochemical energy storage devices (rechargeable batteries) in order to be able to understand the requirements for testing. This includes in particular topics such as voltage (e.g. high voltage), performance, capacity, safety, designs and operating conditions.
