This mini-certificate provides an understanding on how the future transportation sector will impact the energy system both by putting stress on the electricity grid and by delivering valuable new services to the grid. Participants learn to make a realistic estimation of when our mobility system could go electric and which obstacles need to be tackled first.

This mini-certificate explains how a lithium-ion cell can be designed, sized, and produced for a specific capacity and energy. The key steps in the selection and production of the main components of the cell, i.e. electrodes, separator, and electrolyte, are discussed. The slurry formulation, mixing, coating, drying, calendaring, cutting, stacking, electrolyte formulation/injection, sealing/packing, and formation cycles are detailed both in terms of machineries and the processing parameters.

This certificate aims to equip organizations with knowledge and skills to evaluate IT risks and typical vulnerabilities in the context of energy systems. Methods to avoid attacks, amongst other things exploiting human factor related risks, are described and learners will get to know approaches for dealing with security /privacy issues when designing energy data systems (Security /Privacy-by-Design). Imparting an overview of the European legal frameworks and a deeper look into country-specific regulation that have to be considered while building smart grid business models.
