Modern life thrives on the availability of electrical energy. Countless applications spanning from medical to industrial and consumer products have been made possible only by modern battery technology. Albeit both, limited energy density and high costs, sectors such as mobility, communications, renewable energy, count on the development of rising storage performances with regard to price, mass and energy.
Reason enough for researchers, application engineers, developers to join the 10th International meeting, “Advanced Battery Power” held in Münster, Germany, from April 10th-11th, 2018, gathering academia, industry and the public sector. As of today, a good 240 papers have been received and reviewed by a highly-ranked Organizing Committee for both, talks and poster presentations. The latest version of the programme is now on-line (www.battery-power.eu).
With Dr. Christian Danz, Vice President Engineering Battery Systems, Bosch; Dr. Venkat Srinivasan, Argonne National Lab; Dr. Andreas Wendt, BMW Group; Stanley Whittingham, Binghamton University, the conference has already attracted international and renowned scientists and practitioners.
The “Battery Day NRW” preceding the main symposium on April 9th will enable participants to keep abreast with various topics around the basic science and technology by means of a thoroughly adapted series of introductory seminars.
The “Battery Day NRW” is supported by the Department of Economy, Innovation, Digitalisation and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and held under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Andreas Pinkwart.
From April 9th-11th, 2018, Münster will again be the platform to update on, discuss, and experience hands-on the latest developments in battery technology, research, development and examples of applications.
The conference language will be English. Further details can be found under www.battery-power.de. As the exhibition venue has a limited number of exhibition booths, please be advised that the availability is about to end.

May 17th – 18th, 2017 in Bamberg
With EEHE – Electric & Electronic Systems in Hybrid and Electric Vehicles and Electrical Energy Management – Haus der Technik provides a brilliant opportunity for developers, users and researchers to meet. The conference attendants thus have a chance to meet all important players in the industry at a single conference. Having screened a great number of submissions following the Call for Papers, the programme committee has put together an attractive array of conference papers, posters and vehicle displays.
Electric and electronic architectures for various electrified powertrains take centre stage just like power electronics, high and low voltage energy storage systems, charging technology and components. Further topics are general issues concerning electric mobility, market development and regulations but also safe and reliable on-board electricity supply for highly automated and autonomous driving.

Researchers and scientists invite an international audience to attend the prestigious conference on Advanced Battery Power on 26 and 27 April 2016
MEET, the Battery Research Centre of the Westphalian Wilhelms University of Münster (WWU) will stage the 8th international conference on Advanced Battery Power on 26 and 27 April 2016. The venue is “Messe und Congress Centrum Halle Münsterland” in the city of Münster. MEET, ISEA (Institute for Power Electronics and Electrical Drives) of RWTH Aachen University and Haus der Technik (Essen) will be your hosts. The special target group for this conference are scientists from academia as well as development engineers and users from industry all over the world. Münster and Aachen take turns in hosting this repeating event.
The conference is a great opportunity to get informed about recent developments in battery research. It serves as a platform for face-to-face communication and for developing ideas outside the box. The versatile agenda comprises the entire battery supply chain from raw materials to the battery cell, from individual cells to entire battery systems for mobile and stationary applications.
“We will discuss existing battery solutions such as lead-acid and lithium-ion battery systems but also next-generation batteries which are currently being investigated in basic research activities”, explains Prof Martin Winter of MEET to mention just one of the conference’s areas of emphasis. He will chair and assume the scientific lead of the conference together with Prof Dirk Uwe Sauer of RWTH Aachen. The next-gen systems, so-called post-lithium-ion batteries, include lithium-air and lithium-sulfur systems but also sodium-based and all-solid-state batteries.
The two-day programme is packed with 60 informative lectures, and more than 190 junior and senior scientists will present their posters at this outstanding event which is expected to be attended by approximately 650 participants. Please check www.battery-power.eu for details of the programme. The conference language is English.
The day prior to the conference, i.e. 25 April 2016, will see the Ministry of Innovation, Science and Research of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia stage Battery Day NRW. It will be organised by Haus der Technik, together with the clusters named EnergieForschung.NRW, EnergieRegion.NRW, NanoMikroWerkstoffe.NRW and Elektromobility NRW. These clusters provide insight into a broad range of research topics in the context of energy research and supply, nano/micro materials and electro-mobility. This event will be held in German and chaired again by Dirk Uwe Sauer and Martin Winter. The focus here is on various battery activities pursued by different regional players.
