Workshop on Battery for Electric Vehicle & Energy Storage System 2025

Bandung, (SR) – From Wednesday to Friday, 15–17 October 2025, NCSTT held a workshop titled “Workshop on Battery for Electric Vehicle & Energy Storage System” at the ITB Innovation Park Building, Jalan Boulevard Utama No. 3, Summarecon, Bandung. The event was organized as an initiative to identify industry needs for battery technology—from design to recycling—and to provide a deeper understanding of current battery-related developments. The workshop also aimed to disseminate research progress currently being developed at ITB. This shared understanding is essential so that innovations can be interpreted and implemented effectively while fostering broader collaboration with industry and government.

The event began with a pre-test to assess participants’ baseline knowledge, followed by a post-test at the end to evaluate the learning outcomes. The first two days consisted of expert presentations and discussions, while the third day featured a hands-on demonstration session conducted by PT. HIOKI Electric Indonesia, providing participants with practical insights into battery measurement technologies.

Eight speakers from diverse backgrounds shared their expertise, experiences, and research relevant to the workshop theme:

Dr. Ir. Agus Purwadi, M.T. (Institut Teknologi Bandung): State of the Art EV & ESS Battery

Dr. Eng. Bentang Arief Budiman, S.T. (Institut Teknologi Bandung): Battery Configuration and Safety in Electric Vehicles

Ir. Poetro Lebdo Sambegoro, M.Sc., Ph.D. (Institut Teknologi Bandung): Thermal Management in Batteries

Assoc. Prof. Richard Diaz Alorro (Curtin University): Technospheric Mining of Critical Metals: A Circular Pathway to Support the Energy Transition

Zela Tanlega, S.T., M.Phill., Ph.D. (Institut Teknologi Bandung): Lithium-ion Battery Recycling: Overview and Current Progress

Prof. Ir. Endra Joelianto, Ph.D. (Institut Teknologi Bandung): Advanced Monitoring and Control Safety for Battery and BESS

Ganes Shukri, S.T., M.Eng., Ph.D. (Institut Teknologi Bandung): Atomistic Modeling of Li-ion Battery Materials

The workshop was supported by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Australia, under the KONEKSI program. Participants included representatives from industry, academia, and government institutions. NCSTT plans to hold similar workshops annually.
