The recent recall of laptop batteries has prompted the IEEE to revise its guidelines for the design, manufacture, and testing of Lithium-ion battery cells and packs. At the same time, the OEM Critical Components Committee of the IPC (Association Connecting Electronics Industries), which represents the electronic interconnect segment of the industry, has begun work on creating a standard on the manufacturing process and quality control of Li-ion batteries. Hear what the experts have to say about these new developments and how they will impact future product designs?
Panelists:

Electricity generation and consumption must be maintained in constant balance at all times in any network. System operators typically achieve this by calling on large fossil-fuelled power stations to operate flexibly, which incurs high financial and environmental costs. With growing demand, declining fossil fuelled generation, and increasing renewables, the need for economic and low-carbon flexibility is becoming acute.
This webinar will discuss the benefits of, and the methods and opportunities for, allowing electricity consumers to participate in electricity balancing. Dr Michael Wagner will explain how a national electricity system can reduce emissions and increase supply security by harnessing demand-side flexibility. Dr Alastair Martin will then describe demand-side flexibility from the viewpoint of electricity consumers, showing how revenue can be earned with minimal disruption. Some positive and negative experiences of demand-side flexibility will be di! scussed. The webinar will conclude with some principles of effective demand-side flexibility.
