Next Generation Mobility Engineering (SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION)
We carry out various elemental technology researches on automobiles. This educational program began in 2003 and each research period is 3 years as a target. Automobiles are made up by diverse technical fields such as mechanical, material and electronic, therefore students can absorb extensive knowledge of engineering.
Research Subject
We will conduct research on the reuse of drive batteries used in electric vehicles. In order to reduce CO2 emissions during the life cycle of batteries used in EVs and hybrid vehicles, it is necessary to reuse used batteries for stationary power sources.
- Research on Reusing Batteries for EVs and Hybrid Vehicles for Compact Mobility
- Research on Reusing Batteries for EVs and hybrid Vehicles as Stationary Power Sources
- Study of battery specifications required for V2H and V2G
- Study on safe reuse of used batteries
Example of reusing 12 V battery packs as stationary power sources by increasing capacity by connecting them
Example of obtaining temperature distribution on the cell surface and inside at each discharge current value by numerical analysis of chemical reaction and heat transfer phenomenon of the cell
