| 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. |
| Objective | The learning objectives are: - Know the history of batteries and understand the material science breakthroughs that enabled disruptive battery technologies. - Understand the physical processes behind making battery models in order to predict lifetime. - Understand system and battery requirements 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. |
| Content | - History and introduction to electrochemistry & batteries. - Li-ion batteries & next generation batteries. - Battery lifetime modelling by aging, thermal, and electric sub-models. - Introduction to power conversion systems and control & protection. - Battery systems for the modern power grid and sustainable mobility. |
