In a major ruling issued on 10 February this year, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled on a dispute relating to claims that SK Innovation made use of LG Chem trade secrets surrounding their electric vehicle battery technology. The ITC investigation under US trade law centred on alleged instances of IP. . While patent rights and trade secrets can sometimes be viewed as interchangeable, the reality is there are marked differences between the forms of IP protection each provides. On the one hand, a patent is an IP right that describes an. . The hard-fought battle between SK Innovation and LG Chem underlines just how important trade secrets can be in IP disputes. Yet, while. . Against this highly challenging backdrop, innovators in the energy storage space can take a number of practical steps to get to grips with their trade secret provisions. Of course, different IP.

We discuss how ML and AI-based methods can support cyber defense of battery systems. Battery energy storage system (BESS) is an important component of a modern power system since it allows seamless integration of renewable energy sources (RES) into the grid.
Utility-scale battery energy storage systems are vulnerable to cyberattacks. There is a lack of extensive review on the battery cybersecure design and operation. We review the state-of-the-art battery attack detection and mitigation methods. We overview methods to forecast system components behavior to detect an attack.
Confidentiality is the feature of data that implies that data can be accessed only by authorized parties . A confidentiality attack is an attack in which system data is recorded and stolen by an unauthorized party. Some researchers state that confidentiality is not necessary for the system data .
Due to the EV being a spread application of batteries, most battery SOC forecast methods are tested on EV datasets. One of the common datasets described in the literature are Federal Urban Driving Cycles (FUDS), and US06. The efficiency of machine learning (ML) and ANN approaches application on different datasets is highlighted in .
Nowadays, the battery energy storage system (BESS) has become an important component of the electric grid . It can serve multiple services such as frequency regulation, voltage control, backup, black start, etc. .
Sensing units are placed in battery cells to control voltage, current, and temperature. In this work, we assume that the sensing units in batteries are protected and, therefore, the possibility of FDIA is eliminated. To prevent the attack against battery SOC, the forecasting methods can be applied.

In 1899, Swedish scientist Waldemar Jungner created the nickel-iron battery. In 1903, American inventor Thomas Edison patented Jungner’s invention hoping it would become the most common battery used for cars. Nickel-iron rechargeable batteries are still used today, especially in the mining and remote. . In 1899, Waldemar Jungner also invented the nickel-cadmium battery (NiCd). The nickel-cadmium battery featured nickel and cadmium electrodes. . In 1859, French physician Gaston Planté created the flooded lead-acid battery, the first rechargeable battery for commercial use. In 1972, Gates Rubber Corporation patented the first AGM cell, where the electrolyte is held in the. . Lew Urry, a Canadian chemical engineer, invented the disposable alkaline cell in 1955. The first alkaline batteries were sold in 1959. Their popularity is due to brands such as Energizer, and. . While AGM batteries were an advancement from lead-acid batteries in that they were designed to avoid spillage, they were not completely. [pdf]
In the development of battery technology, the 20th century marked a turning point. The development of lead-acid, alkaline, and nickel-cadmium batteries enabled a variety of uses, from cars to portable gadgets, and laid the groundwork for the current era of battery technology.
Modern batteries were created around the turn of the 19th century. The first real battery was created in 1800 by an Italian physicist by the name of Alessandro Volta. This device is now referred to as the voltaic pile.
The lead-acid battery continued to advance during the 20th century with improvements like the sealed lead-acid battery, which requires no maintenance and can be used in any orientation. The introduction of the alkaline battery was another important breakthrough that occurred in the 1950s.
It might come as a surprise to learn that batteries were first inspired by fish. The ability of electric fish, such as rays and eels, to generate electric discharge for defence and hunting had been known since antiquity. But it was Italian inventor Alessandro Volta (1745–1827) who created the first electric battery after studying these animals.
Innovations in battery technology continue to revolutionise our world. Today, large-scale storage batteries are helping stabilise power grids, and countries such as Japan view them as a key technology in efforts to attain carbon neutrality by 2050. The global energy storage market is expected to grow 30% annually to 2030, according to BloombergNEF.
Batteries have transformed the way we work, live and play. As the technology continues to evolve, batteries can help increase our reliance on renewable energy, helping transform society further still and create a more sustainable world.
