11:40 am - 12:20 pm WASTE HEAT RECOVERY FROM FAST CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL AS EV/HEV PRESENTATION

André Schlott - Head of Competence Center Energy and Thermal Management, Fraunhofer IFAM

Over the last years, the charging infrastructure especially the fast-charging infrastructure is growing. This will continue for the next years as well. Many experts work on increasing the efficiency of the power electronics used in charging stations and electric vehicles. But there will be a loss during charging in both the charger and the battery. The presentation will focus on that and give an example how much thermal energy is created during a fast-charging stop at a motorway and give suggestions, how to use these waste heat.

Introduction: What is the current situation of charging points in Germany?

Charging Management: How do current EV fast charge in terms of power and duration and how much thermal losses are created?

Waste Heat Recovery and Utilization: Examples of how to recover thermal losses. Requirements of additional connections between car and charging station and possible use cases for the recovered heat

1:20 pm - 2:00 pm THERMAL MANAGEMENT FOR HEAVY-DUTY TRUCKS & LONG-HAUL COMMERCIAL VEHICLES

Halil Osmanoğlu - Technical Leader- Thermal Systems Engineering, Ford Otosan

Defining the status and future direction of vehicle electrification in the heavy-duty transport industry

Establishing which thermal management lessons and strategies can be brought from passenger vehicles to

commercial vehicles

Understand benefits of using thermal batteries and heat pumps for commercial vehicles

Which energy storage is most effective for heavy-duty trucks/long-haul commercial vehicles – is it fuel cell or

batteries or a combination of both, or some other solution?

2:00 pm - 2:40 pm LEARN HOW TO DESIGN THE MOTOR TO FIT IN THE WIDER SYSTEM

Dr. Fabio Dohr - Head of Platform Portfolio Electric Vehicle Drives, ZF Group

The industry has moved from designing the e-motor as an individual component in the system, to adopting a system’s approach and designing the e-motor to fit into the wider system. Though beneficial in many ways, system integration can present some challenges to the motor producer, so it’s important for companies to know the most effective ways to design the e-motor in relation to the entire system.


Listen to this presentation and assess the most effective ways to design the e-motor for greater system efficiency:

Learn how to effectively design the combined unit of the motor, power electronics and the inverter

Evaluate the challenges related to system integration and the possible solutions

Discuss how to increase system efficiency through designing the e-motor in relation to the wider system

Unpack how and where inverters and motor controllers fit in the e-motor technology ecosystem

2:40 pm - 3:20 pm AFTERNOON NETWORKING BREAK


3:20 pm - 4:00 pm LEARN HOW E-MOTORS ARE BEING DESIGNED FOR RECYCLING & REUSE IN THE FUTURE

There has been a recent surge of new trends in manufacturing technologies like the X Pin, which use new concepts,

which are in turn influencing how e-motors are designed and offering new ways to optimise e-motor design.

Engage with the presentation and learn about the new trends in manufacturing technology and how these

technologies can optimise the e-motor:


Evaluate the new manufacturing trends and technologies which are being used to optimise the motor

Learn about new manufacturing technologies like additive manufacturing and how they are influencing the design

of e-motors and manufacturing costs

Discuss how these new technologies can be used to optimise the design of e-motors

4:00 pm - 4:40 pm EXPERT VIEWS ON HOW E-MOTORS & THERMAL MANAGEMENT WILL CHANGE IN THE FUTURE PART ONE

After three days of learning, networking, and business development, it’s time to wrap up the 2024 conference. But

before we do that, let’s look at the future. With several technologies on the market and many optimisation strategies

currently working, even more are under research to push the boundaries of e-motor development and achieve better

efficiency, lower cost and improve performance.


Join experts for this grand finale discussion led by a panel of experts and visionaries from OEM, Tier-1 and Tier-2

companies as they forecast the future of e-motor technologies, which technologies they expect to see in the future

and how systems will be modified to make them more efficient.
