CHAPTER 1
Cell Phone Energy Gap: Myth or Reality?
Stuart Robinson, Director, Handset Component Technologies, Strategy Analytics
The demands on a cell phone’s battery just keep growing, with more features and functions being added to each new generation of handset. Drawing upon our end-user research of cell phone usage patterns, combined with analysis of the power consumption trends of critical components, this presentation will highlight some of the key findings from Strategy Analytics’ cell phone battery budget analysis. It tackles two key questions: Where does all the energy go in a cell phone? And, is the cell phone Energy Gap going to grow or shrink in future?
CHAPTER 2
SAFT’s Very High Power Li-Ion Technology
Kamen Nechev, PhD, Senior Scientist/Advanced Technology Manager, Saft Specialty Battery Group, SAFT
SAFT specializes in developing and providing solutions based on Very High Power (VHP) Li-ion. This is an industrial technology capable of 8 kW/kg for 2 second long and 12 kW/kg for millisecond long pulses. SAFT has built and delivered a number of battery systems supporting emerging Directed Energy applications. The VHP technology is also the only electrochemical energy storage system providing sufficient power at low temperature required for aircraft applications. Due to this unique capability it is the heart of the 270V emergency battery for F-35 aircraft.
CHAPTER 3
Powering Robotic Ocean Observing Systems
James G. Bellingham, PhD, Chief Technologist, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
Mobile robots, capable of operating unattended by humans for days to months at sea, are revolutionizing the way scientists, the military, and the commercial world explore and observe the ocean. Energy storage is a fundamental limitation, and designers of AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) go to great lengths to minimize power consumption and maximize energy storage. Reliability and safety are particularly important considerations, as operational conditions at sea are demanding, and vehicles operate at high ambient pressures (up to 9000 psi). This talk will provide an overview of emerging ocean observing systems, their energy needs, and operational requirements.
CHAPTER 4
The Use of Solid Electrolytes to Enable Next Generation High Energy Density Batteries
Steven J. Visco, PhD, Vice President of Research, PolyPlus Battery Company*
The introduction of high energy density Li-ion batteries in the early 1990s was timely for the portable electronics industry as battery life was emerging as a key issue for mobile computing and telecommunications. However, it is clear that significant advances in battery technology are needed in order to keep pace with the demands of these industries as well as emerging markets such as hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and electric utility backup. The transition to higher energy battery chemistries will require innovative approaches to do so safely and at reasonable cost. One such approach involves the use of solid electrolyte membranes, either in bulk or thin-film form. This presentation will discuss various strategies of designing next generation technologies (including lithium metal and sodium metal chemistries)
