In a major ruling issued on 10 February this year, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled on a dispute relating to claims that SK Innovation made use of LG Chem trade secrets surrounding their electric vehicle battery technology. The ITC investigation under US trade law centred on alleged instances of IP. . While patent rights and trade secrets can sometimes be viewed as interchangeable, the reality is there are marked differences between the forms of IP protection each provides. On the one hand, a patent is an IP right that describes an. . The hard-fought battle between SK Innovation and LG Chem underlines just how important trade secrets can be in IP disputes. Yet, while. . Against this highly challenging backdrop, innovators in the energy storage space can take a number of practical steps to get to grips with their trade secret provisions. Of course, different IP.

We discuss how ML and AI-based methods can support cyber defense of battery systems. Battery energy storage system (BESS) is an important component of a modern power system since it allows seamless integration of renewable energy sources (RES) into the grid.
Utility-scale battery energy storage systems are vulnerable to cyberattacks. There is a lack of extensive review on the battery cybersecure design and operation. We review the state-of-the-art battery attack detection and mitigation methods. We overview methods to forecast system components behavior to detect an attack.
Confidentiality is the feature of data that implies that data can be accessed only by authorized parties . A confidentiality attack is an attack in which system data is recorded and stolen by an unauthorized party. Some researchers state that confidentiality is not necessary for the system data .
Due to the EV being a spread application of batteries, most battery SOC forecast methods are tested on EV datasets. One of the common datasets described in the literature are Federal Urban Driving Cycles (FUDS), and US06. The efficiency of machine learning (ML) and ANN approaches application on different datasets is highlighted in .
Nowadays, the battery energy storage system (BESS) has become an important component of the electric grid . It can serve multiple services such as frequency regulation, voltage control, backup, black start, etc. .
Sensing units are placed in battery cells to control voltage, current, and temperature. In this work, we assume that the sensing units in batteries are protected and, therefore, the possibility of FDIA is eliminated. To prevent the attack against battery SOC, the forecasting methods can be applied.

Liquid fuels Natural gas Coal Nuclear Renewables (incl. hydroelectric) Source: EIA, Statista, KPMG analysis Depending on how energy is stored, storage technologies can be broadly divided into the following three categories: thermal, electrical and hydrogen (ammonia). The electrical category is further divided into. . Electrochemical Li-ion Lead accumulator Sodium-sulphur battery . When it comes to energy storage, there are specific application scenarios for generators, grids and consumers. Generators can use it to match production with consumption to ease pressure on grids.

A cross sectional view of a traditional battery Batteries, whether they are rechargeable are not, commonly employ lithium. Zinc and alkaline based batteries are available, but they generally have a shorter lifespan due to their high charge density. Unlike lithium-based batteries, they can’t operate at higher voltages. A. . Graphene Batteries can reduce the environmental impact of battery use Graphene battery technology has a similar structure to traditional batteries in that they have two electrodes and. . The real graphene battery breakthrough are the graphene-lithium-ion hybrid chemistries incorporated into the cathodes of lithium-sulfur cells as. . As mentioned, graphite has been historically used as the primary cathode material, where the lithium ions migrate into the structured holes.. . Graphene-based batteries are quickly becoming more favorable than their graphite predecessors. Graphene batteries are an emerging technology which allows for increased. [pdf]
For batteries that possess a similar efficiency, graphene batteries are an ideal choice, which is why scientist are trying to further advance this class of batteries. They have started to gain traction in the commercial marketplace and it won’t be long before they become the norm and phase-out solid-state batteries.
Although solid-state graphene batteries are still years away, graphene-enhanced lithium batteries are already on the market. For example, you can buy one of Elecjet's Apollo batteries, which have graphene components that help enhance the lithium battery inside.
This additive can be used in both the anode and cathode within a battery cell. Generally 2-3 wt% is used in a cathode and 1-2 wt% in an anode. Graphene-based batteries are quickly becoming comparable, in terms of efficiency, to traditional solid-state batteries.
Creating large practical solid-state batteries for commercial use is still an ongoing research goal, but graphene could be the right candidate to make solid-state batteries a mass-market reality. In a graphene solid-state battery, it's mixed with ceramic or plastic to add conductivity to what is usually a non-conductive material.
Batteries enhanced with graphene can fix or mitigate many of these issues. Adding graphene to current lithium batteries can increase their capacity dramatically, help them charge quickly and safely, and make them last much longer before they need replacement. What Are Sodium-Ion Batteries, and Could They Replace Lithium?
There are no pure graphene electrodes in a graphene battery, many graphene-based electrodes are fabricated and work in a similar way to traditional batteries. Their performance is enhanced via the addition of graphene to the electrode formulation.
