Battery second life
Prolonging the lifespan of batteries through second life applications is a promising strategy to lower CO2 emissions. The battery second life ecosystem is manifold with diverse stakeholders including automotive OEMs, integrators, battery energy storage system (BESS) operators, insurance providers, battery cell manufacturers, recycling experts, and (technology) service providers. Among these, companies like TWAICE play a pivotal role by providing crucial analytics that guide the decision-making process in battery repurposing and reuse.

The Power of Signalling
What is the potential impact of Battery Health Reports (BHR) on remarketing success of the battery electric vehicle (BEV)? Besides age and mileage, driver profile has a major impact on how long a battery lasts. In the absence of documentation of how a driver has treated the battery, residual value formation remains below its full potential.

Modeling capacity fade of li-ion batteries
Aging models are fundamental tools to optimize the application of lithium-ion batteries. In this work, we show that the CAP-method models capacity fade more accurately when applied to dynamic cyclic aging tests with periodically changing mean state-of-charge, depth-of-discharge, ambient temperature and discharge rates for a commercial NCA cell with a silicon-doped graphite anode.

Quantifiability of Cell-to-Cell Variations
Motivated by the question of why impedance variation is consistently reported to be higher than the variation of other parameters, we show that measuring inherent parameter variations caused by production tolerances is superimposed by effects of an imperfect measurement setup.

Impedance Research Paper
Continuous impedance monitoring provides significant insights into the aging status of a battery. However, the on-line determination of battery impedance parameter for its low-frequency part is a challenging task. This paper provides an algorithm for its determination, which features a novel approach to quantifying the impedance caused by diffusion processes at low frequencies.
