| Abstract | Batteries enable sustainable mobility, renewable power integration, various power grid services, and residential energy storage. Linked with low cost PV, Li-ion batteries are positioned to shift the 19th-century centralized power grid into a 21st-century distributed one. As with battery integration, this course combines understanding of electrochemistry, heat & mass transfer, device engineering. | ||||
| Learning objective | The learning objectives are: - Apply critical thinking on advancements in battery integration engineering. Assessment reflects this objective and is based on review of a scientific paper, with mark weighting of 10 / 25 / 65 for a proposal / oral presentation / final report, respectively. - Design battery system concepts for various applications in the modern power system and sustainable mobility, with a deep focus on replacing diesel buses with electric buses combined with charging infrastructure. - Critically assess progresses in material science for novel battery technologies reported in literature, and understand the opportunities and challenges these materials could have. - Apply "lessons learned" from the history of batteries to assess progress in battery technology. - Apply experimental and physical concepts to develop battery models in order to predict lifetime. | ||||
| Content | - Battery systems for the modern power grid and sustainable mobility. - Battery lifetime modeling by aging, thermal, and electric sub-models. - Electrical architecture of battery energy storage systems. - History and introduction to electrochemistry & batteries. - Li-ion batteries & next generation batteries. - Sustainability and recycling of batteries. | ||||
