Autodesk Clean Tech Partner Program Helps Start-Up Improve Battery Packs for Applications From Electric Scooters to Lighting Remote Villages

Autodesk University 2011

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–What has kept electric cars out of the mainstream for the past several decades? Most experts believe it has been deficiencies with battery technology. Now startup ElectronVault is closing in on solutions to some of the cost and performance problems that have hampered the energy storage industry in general, and the electric vehicle in particular, with help from Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) software.

“We often are asked by national government officials about how they can better secure their grid infrastructure and electrify certain regions of their countries for the first time”

ElectronVault uses Digital Prototyping technology powered by Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Vault Professional software received through its membership in the Autodesk Clean Tech Partner Program to create a reliable, safe, affordable and sustainable method of building and managing dense electrical storage systems such as car or grid batteries.

Rather than needing a different, specialty battery cell for each application, ElectronVault’s large-scale battery packs use the same types of batteries found inside digital cameras or laptops across all applications. The difference is in scale. A battery pack for an electric car might contain more than 6,000 commodity battery cells, while a pack to provide backup power for a housing development might contain millions. By mixing commodity cell prices with ElectronVault’s proprietary management technologies, battery pack costs are halved when compared to other offerings.

CAD and GIS Integration Workshop at AU2009

August 19, 2009 in AutoCAD, CAD

A new addition to Autodesk University (AU2009) is the Unconference Session where session content is created and driven by participants. Unconference Sessions represent an opportunity for you to engage with your peers around specific topics of interest. Lectures and formal presentations give way to open discussions where the sharing of ideas and experiences is encouraged.

This year, my colleague Neal Niemiec and I are delighted to be leading a 90-minute session entitled, “The Billion Dollar Opportunity: A Workshop on CAD/GIS Integration”. This workshop is aimed at engineers, surveyors, architects, CAD and GIS professionals, and anyone interested in the CAD/GIS integration issue. Anticipated discussion topics will include:

Drivers for CAD/GIS integration
CAD/GIS integration scenarios
Approaches for addressing CAD/GIS integration issues

The opportunity for open dialog during this workshop is exciting. So, if you have a specific issue that you want us to include on the agenda, please post a comment. If you’re going to be attending AU2009, be sure to register for our session ( Class ID: GS122-3) and come say “Hello”. We look forward to meeting you!
