Pre-Workshop Office hours with Julia Lamb: Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA) for Battery & Energy Storage Technologies
The Battery Saloon is proud to host an in-depth, hands-on workshop on battery and energy storage techno-economic analysis (TEA), taught by Julia Lamb, founder of CellVision, the open-source battery TEA tool.
We're taking a different approach: no more high-level, theoretical TEA courses. This is a "learn by doing" workshop with someone actually pioneering the field.
The program is tiered, and includes an online course, a CellVision tutorial, a comparison of leading battery TEA tools, office hours, a hands-on project of your choice, and startup TEA certification. We'll work closely with founders to complete their technology's TEA and certify the results for credibility.
This workshop is built for founders who want real insight into their technology's economics, founders who want to save hundreds of thousands of dollars by learning to run their own TEA in-house, corporate employees working on battery economics, and anyone looking to build a career in TEA consulting.
About Dr. Julia Lamb:
Dr. Lamb is a founder, consultant, and professor dedicated to battery techno economics and modeling. After developing a technoeconomic model at a sodium-ion battery startup that proved sodium-ion batteries are not yet capable of undercutting lithium-ion battery costs at scale, the model was released to the public at CellVision.org and the company's funding returned to its investors. She has since continued to develop the battery technoeconomic model and she works with students and clients to evaluate new battery technologies.
Note: This pre-workshop session will cover what the workshop includes, why you should attend, whether it's the right fit for you, and give you a chance to ask the instructor questions directly.
