Emeritus Professor Akhtar Kalam’s Electrifying Mysteries
This webinar series provides a structured examination of real-world engineering challenges. Each session will address specific, technically focused topics relevant to engineering professionals.
Webinar details
A critical battery bank appeared to lose a significant portion of its capacity within a single night, threatening system reliability. The apparent failure challenged conventional assumptions about battery degradation. This presentation investigates hidden causes including temperature effects, cell imbalance, and monitoring system errors.
- The webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.
- A certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.
