Working Method. The Board of Directors meets whenever one of the members requests it. The call for a meeting is issued validly by letter, fax or e-mail and must mention the items on the agenda of the meeting of the Board of Directors. Concerning items that are not mentioned on the agenda, the Board of Directors may deliberate and pass legally valid resolutions only if all members are present at the meeting and approve them. Meetings of the Board of Directors are held validly at the corporate office of the Company or at any other location in Belgium as mentioned in the call for the meeting. Meetings may take place also by way of an audio- or videoconference. The members are obligated to attend the meetings of the Board of Directors. Minutes must be drawn up of the meetings containing as a minimum the following aspects: • day, hour and place of the meeting; • items on the agenda; • brief content of the deliberations; • decision; • signature by the members of the Board of Directors. The minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors are approved at the next meeting. The decisions of the Board of Directors are taken by simple majority of the cast votes. In case of a tied vote, the vote of the Chairman determines the outcome, except in cases when the Company has only two directors.
Working Method. In order to study, analyse and elaborate a proposal governing the relation industry- TI in the prototyping activities, the working group AMICI-Industry played a central role, which along the three years activities has been a permanent forum for discussing the different approaches and points of view with the aim to achieve reasonable syntheses. After the Industry Days, six companies were actively working with WP5.4: ASG Superconductors (Italy), ANTEC Magnets, S.L.U. (Spain), Xxxxxxx Xxxxx GmbH (Germany), ELYTT (Spain), Xxxxx (Italy), Sigmaphi (France). As a first step, a questionnaire was sent to these companies for defining advantages and disadvantages when dealing with the collaboration between Technological Facilities and Industry in prototype developments. The industrial partners were asked to comment the different scenarios by assigning a rank to the entity of the advantage or disadvantage (High, Medium, Low and Negligible), and possibly commenting and adding further pros or cons. The construction of prototype with industry was debated in depth in two dedicated meetings of the T5.4 Working Group: the first was held in Milano (January 25th, 2018) and the second at Bruxelles (February 6th, 2018), this latter meeting being a satellite meeting of the “Accelerator- Industry Co-Innovation Workshop” (Bruxelles, 6-7 February 2018). Other meetings took place during the annual meetings of the AMICI collaboration. Two important aspects emerged from these meetings:
Working Method. Experts from member countries serve as delegates at Task 1 meetings held every six months in conjunction with the IA-HEV Executive Committee meetings. Country delegates also write country-specific information for IA-HEV publications, such as the country chapters in this annual report. Many country delegates also serve dual roles as the official Operating Agent for a specific Task. In this role, they may also represent IA-HEV to a public audience by presenting Task results at international conferences, such as the EVS (Electric Vehicle Symposium) meetings. The Task 1 Operating Agent (OA) is responsible for coordinating and leading the semi-annual experts’ meetings, compiling the minutes of these meetings, maintaining the IA-HEV website (Figure 1), and editing and supervising the production of the newsletter and the Executive Committee (ExCo) annual report. The OA also acts as liaison to the other Task OAs, the ExCo Chair (together with the Secretary-General), and the IEA Desk Officer. Since the end of 2014, the responsibility for Task 1 has been transferred to Xxxxxx Xxxxx of VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH (Germany) as the new OA. A significant component of the information exchange for the Task occurs at the experts’ meetings, where participants brief the attendees on relevant reports, facts, and statistics pertaining to hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and electric vehicles (EVs) in their home countries. These presentations generally cover current developments on the market situations for EVs and HEVs (national sales and fleet penetration, by vehicle type); the progress of international, national, or local programs and incentives in the field; and new initiatives in vehicle and component development arising from both the private sector and public-private partnerships. Any member country of the IA-HEV can automatically participate in Task 1. There is no cost for Task membership. Each country designates an agency or non- governmental organization as its Task 1 expert delegate. Frequently, guest experts are invited to participate in Task 1 meetings to present their activities and to
Working Method. The Task was established in 2000-2001 under the format and budget structure that was standard at the time. After several years, the ExCo determined that it would be appropriate to restructure the way the Task was managed. The current Operating Agent (OA) took over responsibility for the Task at the ExCo meeting held in November 2004; his effort was supported by the United States (U.S.) Department of Energy. After this transition, any IA-HEV member could participate at no additional cost. The OA retired from employment with the U. S. government in 2015; his current address is at the end of this chapter. The Task addressed selected topics through the use of focused working groups. Each working group met once or twice to discuss a specific topic. Products from 2016 IA-HEV ANNUAL REPORT the working groups varied depending upon the nature of the discussions and included documents distributed to the participants and summaries published in the Annual Reports. Each working group had unique members; attendees were individuals interested in the specific topic. A country or organization could participate in one working group without making a multiyear commitment to attend every Task meeting. Discussions were on a “no public attribution” basis to encourage candid discussions.
Working Method. Task 17 activities predominantly consisted of preparing a technology assessment report on trends and providing opportunities for member countries to exchange information. Thus, working methods included: • Questionnaires, personal interviews and several workshops • Foresight analyses of future options and opportunities • Simulation of different component configurations • International networking • Information exchange and close coordination with other running Tasks • Dissemination of results of participating countries in giving support to their policy and industrial decision makers and leading R&D representatives in their responsibility for setting of research priorities. The most common form was represented by workshops. They enabled the dissemination of information about relevant activities in an international context:
Working Method. The most important networking activity in this LCA platform was the organization of the five workshops in different member countries. – the aim was to involve the different stakeholders in the EV value chain. The organization of workshops with participation from industry, research organizations, and technology policy experts provides an international basis for the exchange of information on relevant activities. These 5 workshops were:
Working Method. Task 20 based its exchange of information and interactions on regular face-to-face meetings with the presence of key experts from the main QC stakeholders worldwide. After the kick off meeting in conjunction with the EVS26 held in L.A. (US), the Task organized 3 thematic meetings in Japan, Spain, and France. Task 20 held its second technical exchange workshop across three cities in Japan on 3-5 June 2013. The goal was to discuss the progress in the development and deployment of DC quick charging technology in Japan, Europe, and the United States (U.S.). Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) helped to organize the meeting. The Japanese government has supported the installation of more than 1,700 QC stations throughout the country. A total of 39 experts from the U.S., Germany, China, Spain, and Japan participated in the June meetings, representing automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), charging equipment providers, research centres, utilities, and government. Later in 2013, and again in conjunction with the EVS27, a specific workshop with special focus on interoperability as a trigger for a larger deployment of QC was organized in Barcelona (Spain). More than 30 participants from 6 countries were present representing different entities with key roles in the whole interoperability chain from public and private sides. The last meeting of the Task was organised together with Task 10 on Electrochemistry in the framework of the International Batteries 2014 congress in Nice on 22-23 September 2014. The workshop focused on the effects of the quick charging on batteries in PEV. The meeting was attended by a number of internationally acclaimed research groups, public authorities, vehicles manufacturers and battery manufacturers. 70 xxx.xxxxxx.xxx CHAPTER 8 – QUICK CHARGING TECHNOLOGY (TASK 20) On the other hand, IA-HEV Task 20, Quick Charging (QC) Technology, posted an online questionnaire to solicit input from the PEV community on the status and future applications of QC technology. The survey covered potential business models for DC QC as well as several issues along its value chain, including charger infrastructure, OEMs and interoperability, the impact of DC QC on the electricity grid, and the anticipated timeframe for developments in technology and regulatory frameworks. The motivation for the survey was to identify issues that need to be addressed in order to facilitate a more widespread deployment of DC QC technology. Over 50 orga...
