9:30 Safety of rechargeable energy.
By Dr. Roberto Bubbico
Abstract
Rechargeable (secondary) batteries play a significant role in the continuous effort to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and increase the use of renewable energy sources.
However, they still present a series of drawbacks and limitations in terms of reliability and safety, often associated with the occurrence of a thermal runaway, which hamper their adoption in a wider market (main electrical network or large photovoltaic power systems).
The knowledge of the conditions that can give rise to those dangerous scenarios, is very important, both for the operators at work and for the users.
An overview of the main safety issues and of some of the proposed solutions will be given, with specific reference to Li-ion cells.

15:00 Solar Oven.
By Dr. Celestino Ruivo
Abstract
A demo of an alternative use of solar energy is going to de exposed in this workshop. Instead of it use to generate electrical energy, it is going to be used to cook.
