Study of an Industrial Electrode Dryer of a Lithium-Ion Battery Manufacturing Plant: Dynamic Modelling

EasyChair Preprint 4314

Abstract

The global electric mobility is rapidly expanding. Hence, the demand for lithium-ion batteries are also increasing fast. Therefore, understanding the energy requirements in this rapidly growing industry is crucial for accurate estimation of the environmental impact as well as identifying the appropriate measures to reduce energy requirements. The biggest contribution to greenhouse gas emissions is the cell manufacturing process. The drying of the electrode slurry is the most energy intensive step in the cell manufacturing process. Therefore, we develop a dynamic model for electrode drying, that can be for analysis of different drying technologies, energy requirement calculations, and optimization and control of the process.
