Bio
Dr. Begüm Bozkaya received her B. Sc. degree in Chemistry from Middle East Technical University and her M. Sc. degree in Materials Science from Technical University of Munich. During her Ph. D. at Fraunhofer ISC, she has investigated the effects of carbon additives on negative plates for lead batteries. She has worked on several industrial projects, at which she mainly focussed on the enhancement of the dynamic charge acceptance. Since 2021, she is working as technical manager at Consortium for Battery Innovation.
Consortium for Battery Innovation (CBI) has developed a technical program to advance the lead battery technology to deliver reliable, safe, cost-efficient, and sustainable batteries. The technical program mainly focuses on energy storage systems (ESS), auxiliary and motive power applications to enhance several performance metrics such as charge recovery, opportunity charging and lifetime of batteries under partial state-of-charge operations. Several projects across the UK, EU and USA are included in the technical program covering not only fundamental but also applied research. This presentation is concentrated on the main findings obtained from the current research projects. Additionally, new technical projects that are selected from the CBI´s Request for Proposals (RFP) will be overviewed.
