Electrical Energy Storage: Batteries

The following technologies will be presented: Lead-acid/Ni-MH/Ni-Cd/Lithium Ion. Some additional information will be provided on other electrochemical storage technologies (i.e. super capacitors and fuel cells).
The main points of the programme are as follows:

• Basics of electrochemistry and link to batteries
• History of technologies
• Electrochemical mode of operation of technologies
• Types of possible architectures: Energy vs. Power and applications
• Charge/discharge profile and efficiency
• Ageing (in operation/storage/temperature) and means to limit ageing
• Safety associated with the use of batteries
• Recommendations for delivery and acceptance conditions
• Critical points to consider when using and integrating batteries
