July 2: Tutorials on Batteries and Fuel Cells

On July 2 we will offer tutorials on PEM Fuel Cells and Li-Ion Batteries.

The tutorials will take place at the “Weiterbildungszen-trum Brennstoffzelle Ulm e.V.” (WBZU), Helmholtzstr. 6, D-89081 Ulm, which is located next to “Zentrum für Sonnenenergie- und Wasserstoff-Forschung” (ZSW) in the Science Park of Ulm.

These tutorials will provide a detailed insight into the technologies. They will also give an overview on the global R&D in each of the technologies. Additional, participants can put hands on PEM-technology. WBZU offers different demonstration-units and test-benches for PEM Fuel Cells.
