Battery Energy: Manufacturing

Fuel the future with cutting-edge battery technologies

Building off the ideas covered in Deakin University’s Battery Energy: Fundamentals for Sustainability, this three-week course dives deeper into the practical application of cutting-edge energy engineering.

You’ll gain hands-on experience in lithium-ion battery design and manufacturing, explore battery pack assembly and battery management systems, and analyse emerging technologies that shape the future of sustainable energy storage.

By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped with the skills to navigate the dynamic battery energy sector and contribute to innovative, sustainable solutions.

Explore lithium-ion battery design and manufacturing

During the first week, you’ll explore the fundamental design principles of lithium-ion batteries and dive into their manufacturing processes.

You’ll learn about the components, materials, and steps required to create efficient and reliable batteries for various applications, including renewable energy.

Delve into battery pack assembly and management systems

You’ll then learn how to assemble and manage T battery packs, focusing on battery pack design, including modules, cells, and battery management systems (BMS).

You’ll also analyse critical aspects of thermal management and safety to ensure optimal battery performance and longevity.

Examine emerging battery technologies and future trends

By the third week of this course, you’ll evaluate emerging battery technologies and future trends.

You’ll look at innovative solutions like alternative battery chemistries, advancements in energy storage, and how these developments are paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.

This course is designed for professionals looking to enhance their skills in the fast-evolving field of battery technologies. While it is ideal for engineers, particularly those working in electrical, renewable energy, or solar sectors, it’s open to all learners.
